I’ll be the first guy on this blog to admit that I succumbed to the perceived hype about the last edition of the Rocky Mountain News. I had actually forgotten that the paper was printing it’s final edition until I happened into a gas station and noticed people buying news papers. This struck me as odd, because I hadn’t seen anyone buy a newspaper in years. This may be why they went out of business. I bought two, just in case.

Over the years I’ve made a number of proclamations about my future and almost none of them have come even close to true. This is due, in large part, to my fear of failure, or aversion to change, or unwillingness to get off my duff and make things happen. And, while today I will make another (albeit more bold) announcement, I want you to know that this time – unlike the previous seventeen times –I will see this idea all the way through to fruition.

Dear Monetization News Daily,
I run a fairly popular social media site with 175 million registered users, a large percentage of who visit at least once a day. My users have filled out profiles, so I know who they are, demographically, and what they are interested in. But, I can’t for the life of me figure out how to monetize this site. Any ideas?

I don’t often get depressed while reading The Onion, but today at lunch, while thumbing through the usually uplifting weekly commentary on pop culture, I happened upon an article written by a “humor columnist” Roger Dudek, that sort of made me rethink my entire existence.
The premise borders on offensive from the outset. Roger has been writing professionally for more than 20 years but has only been published intermittently. While reading his article you get the feeling that Roger thinks... Read Full Story

I spent my morning train ride listening to Tobias Wolff read Stephanie Vaughn’s short story “Dog Heaven,” which was – and this will come as no surprise to those familiar with the short story - not really about a dog going to heaven, though the dog did die at one point. It turns out that the message of the story was that you should never name your kid Sparky, though no one comes right out and says that.
You are probably wondering what I was doing on the train, and I have to admit that f... Read Full Story
