The new hardback copy arrived…

Look what my publishers just sent me. The first hard­back copy of “Free­dom Is Blog­ging In Your Under­wear”  [Kindle ver­sion here]. Awwww.… I’m so happy!

I love the pur­ple cover… it’s  kinda appro­priate:  It was after rea­ding Seth Godin’s “Pur­ple Cow” that the idea of wri­ting books occu­rred to me. “That looks like fun, I can do that, I want a piece of that” etc.

The book is a love let­ter to the blog, of sorts. I think blog­ging mat­ters, I think having your own piece of online real estate THAT YOU OWN YOURSELF (not Twit­ter, not Face­book, not Goo­gle+ etc), on YOUR OWN SERVER that YOU pay for, is impor­tant. But it’s an idea that’s kinda been lost in recent years. BLOGGING MATTERS.

So I wrote a book about it.…

    I can’t wait to read it. I star­ted a blog recently, after rea­ding your first book. It helps to get it the hell out of my head. You’re an ins­pi­ra­tion. Thank you.

His work acknowledges the absurdity of workaday life, while also encouraging employees to respond with passion, creativity, and non-conformity...   MacLeod’s work is undeniably an improvement over the office schlock of yore. At its best, it’s more honest, and more cognizant of the entrepreneurial psyche, while still retaining some idealism.

Last year my State of the College address was 76 slides loaded with data. This year it was 14 cartoons that were substantially more memorable.
