The past week, this blog has kind of been bush league in terms of content quantity. Why you ask? Well a couple weeks back I decided to reduce the amount of hours I was spending consulting at Watercooler Sports in order to take another consulting job at GroundWork Open Source. My weeks are split between two different parts of the Bay Area,  at companies that do 2 entirely different things, and where I have two very different roles. But still though there is an even more massive sucubus of my time that I am very proud to talk about. Below is a clue.

At the last minute I realized taking a photo of my business card with my cell phone number on it is not the best idea with all the crazies on the web. Although by the same token, Playboy models do read my blog so maybe having my digits not crossed out is the wrong way to go.

Its been about a week since me joining Bloguin as CEO got finalized and I've burned the midnight oil every night since. Tomorrow is the SF AD-Tech convention, and I need to attend to start developing some technology and advertising partnerships at the convention. In preparation, I have put a lot of hours in to getting some of Bloguin's ducks in a row.

At a later date, I'll go more into Bloguin, the vision, the company, the plan, and why this is now the most important thing in my life.

For now here are some screenshots of sites in the Bloguin network. At a high level we take existing popular blogs (mostly sports), give them a professional redesign, and implement better performing advertising programs in exchange for a % of the advertising revenue. With so many GREAT bloggers on older blogging platforms and without access to a creative designer, we think we have found a great model that benefits publishers, advertisers, and the web audience as a whole.

Bloguin right now is a 2 man operation with a couple people helping on the side. So being the "CEO" is not overly impressive. However the fact that there are 50 blogs in the network all of which are depending on you to improve business as a whole, significantly makes it that much more "real" than a typical two man bootstrapped startup.

Below are some of the Bloguin blogs.
