Kombo News Round-up 4/21/08-4/25/08
Ah, what a great vacation!
That’s what I’d be saying if I had a legitimate reason for allowing this blog to languish in a sad, non-updated state for so long.
But I don’t.
I’ve been busy, yes, but no more than usual. Truth be told, Kombo’s new format has sapped me of any reason to create new content for this little slice of the Internet. I mean, why bang out a 2,000 word piece and slap it onto WordPress, where it’ll march slowly to receiving 100 or so views (maybe) when Kombo can provide it with that much and more? Plus, since I work for Kombo, anything I produce can and should be used to advance Kombo’s breaker cause — in the process netting my work thousands of views. That said, I plan to toss this blog some scraps from my burgeoning career on regular basis, essentially turning it into a link-dump for my work at Kombo. And, every once in a while, I’ll create an exclusive personal anecdote — a tale of daring and bravado — for my loyal (read: sporadic) blog readers.
As proof of my bold new direction, here’s a bunch of news. Enjoy.

Yep, you’re drowning in news — penned by me, so as to reach the zenith of its potential entertainment value.
And now, I leave you. My brain is currently swimming in a sea of Benadryl, and my eye-lids are drooping, physically dragging my head down — in a sort of bobbing motion — with them. Goodnight, all.
