This year was so busy that I get mixed up between what happened in 2012 or 2011. I launched a new website, some new live blogging functionality and a new travel blogging conference (Traverse). On the travel front it was equally busy. I had the opportunity to visit some places I’d never been before […]

Many bloggers have focused criticism on certain types of articles that they believe have been done to death. Produced over and over again.

Before leaving for Brussels I’d mentioned to many people that I was heading there for new years. Their response was often the same, “why Brussels?”. […]
