Spore Goes Retail – People Have Too Much Spare Time
So Spore was released about a week ago, and I completely missed the release date since I had been busy working at my new job. Even sadder is the fact that I was just at a GameStop yesterday, and didn’t even realize that the game had gone retail already. As soon as I’m done with this post, I’ll be driving down to there again to pick up my copy.

My New Job – Project Manager – Web Design Tips Book
Yup, just like the title says. I’ve managed to find a new line of work now doing project management for a web design company. I’m not sure how I’ll do there as the experience will be new to me, but it seems like I will finally be able to get a away from working 60 hours a week as a sales representative (my former job). So while I haven’t become super famous on the web from blogging. The skills I’ve learned to promote the blog which includes some SEO, Social Networking, Domains, Debugging etc played a pretty big part in acquiring the skills for a position in project management. I’m now familiar most of the terminology used in the web design field so being able to communicate the needs of a webmaster fits right in.

Does Starting Out Small Mean You’ll Never Grow to be Great?

I was surfing the net, and stumbled across this page on Doshdosh about a CashCrate Review. With the check Maki got a whopping $5.28(picture is still hosted on a free image server). This got me thinking that everyone who starts out needs to start from somewhere. Back in 2006, it seems like Maki was doing quite a bit of reviews on Get-Paid-To websites, until moving onto the internet marketing niche which seems to be more of the focus nowadays.
What’s the point of this post, your probably asking. I was just looking for a little bit of inspiration I guess. Knowing that another person who is currently successful in gathering a large audience also started out by doing programs like CashCrate is always enlightening. Especially if the first CashCrate check I got was bigger. It just means that I need to work harder, try out more programs, and find new things to do.
Its also good to know that people can change around or maybe change the focus of what their blog’s talk about over the course of time. Its nice to know that blogs or the topic of blogs can evolve at the same time that the writer grows and matures. Sometimes for worse, but most of the time for the better. Who knows what I’ll be writing about a year from today. Will I still be logged into World of Warcraft making gold to sell? Will my blog still be about me making money online?
Are you a blogger that is just starting out? What plans do you have a year from now? What inspires you or what makes you keep going?
