I had a great time today as a guest on Soapbox Radio, and I really appreciate all of the people who tuned into the live show and participated in the online chat room. It's always a little uncomfortable to spend an hour talking about myself, but I think Nicole (Soapbox Mom) did a great job conducting the interview. Thanks Nicole!
If you missed the show, I have the podcast recording to share with you. It's exactly one hour, so grab a beer, glass of wine or cup of coffee and enjoy listening to me ramble. I'd love to know your feedback, as well as answer any questions that we were unable to get to on the show today.
Here's the podcast:

Also, since I mentioned several other bloggers on the show that you may or may not know, here is a list of those people and links to their blogs.
Jim at The Busy Dad Blog, Chuck at D is for Dad, Jason at iVegasFamily, Tyler at Building Camelot, Joe at Joeprah, Mr Lady at Whiskey in My Sippy Cup, Jen at Huckdoll's Hood, Kim at Jogging In Circles, Piper at Bliss in Bloom, Kelby at Type-A Mom and Dadosphere, Matt at The Playpen on Redsparks
Also, the other sites that I publish that were discussed in the interview are: American History Quotes, World History Quotes, Struck In Traffic, Thoughts On Quotes, Discovering Dad and Artistic Pursuit. Nicole mentioned that I was also working on a few other "secret" projects, which I hope to share with you all over the coming months (very excited about them too)!
We also spent a lot of time talking about personal growth and development, and I mentioned a book that was particularly meaningful to me. If you want to buy it, here's my Amazon link to it: Now, Discover Your Strengths (book) or Now, Discover Your Strengths (audiobook). I strongly recommend this incredible book and taking the StrengthsFinder test that comes with it.
Thanks again to Nicole at Soapbox Mom for having me on her show today. I really enjoyed sharing more about me, my sites and my life. I feel very fortunate every day to be able to connect with so many great people through blogging, including you!
Please fee free to share your feedback or ask questions that came from listening to the interview. I'll try to answer them all!

If you're looking to get informed about new technologies, as well as stay up-to-date on some of the latest trends in social media, RSS, social bookmarking, blogging, marketing and more, then I would recommend reading the following,
5 Top Quality Sites for Bloggers
1. SheGeeks - Corvida gives you info straight-up, no fluff, only "awesomesauce." She has turned me on to several applications that I was able to apply immediately to one or more of my sites, and she's always willing to offer her opinion/advice.
2. Chris Brogan - Chris shares great and useful information, but he also makes you think. It's a nice mix of technology articles with philosophical perspectives. I also like that he challenges you to think about your blog as an extension of yourself.
3. Louis Gray - Louis gives you in-depth information about particular technologies that he finds extremely useful, such as Toluu and Friendfeed. I really like his follow-up on topics as well - it expands the learning process exponentially.
4. Copyblogger - Brian Clark offers up daily thoughts, insights and tips that challenge you to be a better blogger, writer and person. His practical advice on social media and copywriting help all levels of bloggers.
5. Sparkplug CEO - Wendy Piersall, formerly of eMoms, is the CEO of Sparkplugging, and she offers great articles about building a business with the help of your blog while maintaining a work-life balance. Sparkplug is a network of blogs that are all very good, but the CEO blog is particularly useful to fellow bloggers. Wendy is accompanied by co-author Dawud Miracle, who is another expert on making your blog a fun and exciting business.
I also recommend reading Be A Better Blogger - 5 Sites that Build Skills.
Sorry for the light activity this week. My wife and I were blessed on Monday morning with a surprise arrival of our new little girl (6 weeks early)! Mom and baby are doing well. If you'd like to see a brief slideshow, you can visit one of my other sites and see my beautiful new addition to the family.
Since the baby is still in the hospital, I am running a contest on the other site too, and I wanted to share the opportunity with readers here as well.
'Bringing Out the Kid in You' Contest - Win a Nintendo Wii game system!!! Anyone can enter - see the post for a few rules and requirements.
Thanks for your ongoing support, and I'll look forward to getting back to normal posting soon!
