Plentyoffbass, The Movie

Posted on November 19th, 2008 in Uncategorized | No Comments »

PlumIslandFront.jpgLongtime readers know that I love to fish and have posted photos here of some fairly large striped bass I’ve caught over the years. My friend James “Stickman” Waldron spent the last few years putting together a documentary about Plum Island fishing, where I do most of my striped bass fishing. The video is in high-def and features some great footage, new and old, of fishermen hooking up with some amazing fish, and sharing great stories about one of the best bass fishing spots in the world.

Reel People: Fishermen of Plum Island is now for sale. As a bonus, yours truly is featured on the cover. If love striped bass or know someone who does, this is a great holiday gift.

Upgraded blog to Thesis theme.

Whether you’re operating online or off, creativity is the key to your future success. Messing with code, switching themes, and constantly changing the variables of your work environment are all things that stifle creativity and force you to fight uphill battles.

Stop settling for inefficiencies, and instead, start focusing on the creative things that you can do to extend your reach and your own effectiveness. If you’re running a Website to help you accomplish this (and you darn well should be!), then you can use Thesis to remove these fundamental site-building obstacles, and this will leave you with more time to focus on the things that will yield higher returns down the road!

Get Thesis, and quit fighting battles that are already won!

For years now, blog comments have been treated like second-rate citizens. I was an early user of SezWho on TheProgressBar, then moved to Disqus, and back in the day played around with CoComment. All of these systems are ok in one way or another, but they also have their faults.

Recently I read about Reblogging on Disqus.

Now on comments throughout DISQUS, you can find a reblog link where you can publish a quotation of the comment to your blog. This quote is cited with the original author, the blog where it originally appeared, and a link back to the original comment to give the discussion full context.

Take a look at BackType, which aggregates comments from blogs and makes them searchable.
