Daring Fireball goes full time

While I continue to think hard about how and whether I can continue to publish anything here on followingedge.com, John Gruber at Daring Fireball has decided to do his blog in a serious way and has quit his "day job" to do so.

I don't have any desire to make a living off of blogging and I'm even still resigning myself to whether I'm publishing for you or publishing for me. But, I do appreciate Daring Fireball, a blog about technical things and specifically web and Macintosh technical things that I sometimes care about, and I know that if good writing and content are a good thing, then sincerity and dedication makes it even better. I joined Daring Fireball to help him find success. If you're a technical person and love Macs (which you should, or eventually will, of course), why don't you check it out and even join up. Joining couldn't be any easier since all it takes is buying one of the three cool t-shirts offered on the site.

Good luck, John Gruber. Hopefully, I'll soon have a similar moment of clarity about Following Edge, so that it doesn't just continue to languish.

    I certainly hope you never close down followingedge.com. Despite the lack of updates, it's still one of my favorite reads.

    Tvindy- I'm really in a funk so far as deciding how to make the blog something I want to do. I bet I'll find a solution, it may just take a bit more thought.

This is the funniest thing! Taking a walk today, I spotted this "ad" on a pole across the street from my office. I can't imagine whether this is real or a joke. I can't find anything online about "Marceau". I'm scared it might be real. If I were him, I'd be cautious about performing at parties with much drinking... there might be violence!

    And I thought that mice were scary! ;-)

    I'd also be worried about the real tornado.

    Interestingly, I think I recognize that guy. It's unbelievable the things artists have to do to make a decent living.

    Wow... I wish I'd come up with this one first. I did post an ultimate rock paper scissors league flyer at the Albertsons on Royal one time. Oh and next time you are in Jung's Mongolian Grill, look at the sign over the door to the back room. I'm proud of that one.

    Wow. You were very very accurate on the guessing of the route! My Timex GPS unit clocks the whole thing in at 8.03 miles on average. I guess with all the added little twists and turns it makes up the difference? Who knows. You were pretty right on though.
