Quotes

“Each of the 16 players in the squad is capable. Winning or losing, we will try to get the best combination. The quicker we get the combination the better. Rotation will go much longer than this tour.” South Africa coach Corrie van Zyl

“You have to see the status of player before the World Cup. Injuries keep coming on. We will try to rotate players so that the best 11-12 players are there at that time.” MS Dhoni

There are at least two kinds of writersâ€" those who write for writing’s sake and those who write to be read. I am of the second kind.

There are at least two kinds of writers who write to be readâ€"those who do it for the fun of it and those who would like to make some money doing the writing thing which would include those who have written a book or two and want to get the word out. Again, I am of the second kind.

Reason 1: Blogging pays my mortgage. I earn enough from my blogs to pay my sizable Silicon Valley Mortgage. And I have had a book of my blog material published to boot. See Gee I Wish I Had Been Drinking at the Time. A second book will be out next month – How Wilby Got 20 Million People to Read His Blogs and How You Can, Too.

It is estimated that there are more than 77 million blogs.

The general wisdom is that if there are that many, some of them have to be good. Why shouldn’t mine be one of the good ones? Why shouldn’t yours?

Blog is a contraction for the term “web log.” Frankly, the name is not very attractive. It sounds too much like blah, blah, blahg. I prefer to explain what I do: I keep content current and focused on one topic on an interactive website, in a log format presented in reverse chronological order.
