Last week I was going through several weeks worth of my notes, trying to get organized, when I came across the name and number of a woman who had contacte me about 6 weeks ago.  She had picked up my card somewhere and wanted to see if we could explore opportunities for a "business partnership."

There's a regular column in my favorite magazine, "Website Magazine" by a woman named Heather Lutze.  Heather is a "findability" evangelist of sorts and every month she chooses one company on which to do a Findability Makeover.

Ding!  My Mac's iCal program pops up the tickler "Time to Write Your Blog!" I say, "Oh crap, I don't have time for this.  Now what am I going to write about?"

Like any blogger worth her salt, I keep a list of things that I think are interesting topics to write about.  The problem is, when I look at the list out of context (meaning, when I am not motivated to write) NOTHING seems interesting to me.  All I care about is getting the darn thing written so I can go back to my other work.

So here's what I do:

Earlier this week I had two separate discussions in which I was trying to be helpful, and ended up on the receiving end of some pretty accusatory comments.

One of these discussions took place in an online forum on LinkedIn.  It was about the fact that many business startups can't afford the high prices graphic designers charge for custom logos.  So the business ends up getting a boring cookie cutter logo because that's all they can get with their measly budget.

I should have known I wouldn't be able to get Mo's interview edited while on vacation.  But I'll definitely get it posted by next Wednesday.

In the meantime, I have been trying to catch up on about 6 months of TWiT podcasts.  On a few of them they've been talking about the changes to the Facebook privacy policy, and specifically how it's become an "opt-out" policy, as opposed to "opt-in."
