Blog Action Day: October 15th

The second annual Blog Action Day is fast approaching. This year the topic is Poverty. The folks behind the campaign are hoping to harness the power of blogging to get a global dialogue on big issues. Bloggers are encouraged to sign up on the Blog Action Day site and then make a poverty related post on October 15th (and even donate that day's ad revenue to a related charity).

I'm back!

Sorry for the long silence from me here. I just wrapped up my year long blog project Skull-A-Day and it was consuming all of my blogging ability at the end. Now that it's moved on to phase 2.0 I'll be back to posting here with much more regularity. I have a large backlog of items I'm excited to share with you, so please keep checking back!

Thanks,
Noah
