Look ma, I'm a blogger!

A couple of weeks ago I wound up at SXSW, the Interactive part of the festival (I'm not yet cool enough to stick around for the music portion). Lots of designers, developers and a TON of bloggers. I ran into Darren Rowse, the guy behind Problogger. Darren has a lot of hustle, and truly knows how to monetize a blog. He was kind enough to interview me, which you can read here.

Late last year I was interviewed at length for the book "Blogging Heroes," which is still in print. I highly recommend it if you've got friends or family who ask "what is this blogging thing anyway?"

And a quick update on my plans for a blogger meetup here in Knoxville: there has been some interest, so I'm pushing forward and hoping for a late summer or early fall date. I'm also hoping it won't be boring, which means no boring panels of interesting people. While SXSW had some good panels, it had a few stinkers too. The last thing I want is for our local meetup to be a simple meet-and-greet. Instead, I'd like everyone to come out of it with something we can build on. More to come...
