Everybody's pointing to this one today, but that's because it's extra good and it focuses on 'us' (when was there suddenly an 'us', anyway?). Scott Rosenberg gives web logs the meta treatment:
- Fear of links [Salon]
Weblogs, typically, are personal Web sites operated by individuals who compile chronological lists of links to stuff that interests them, interspersed with information, editorializing and personal asides. A good weblog is updated often...
More fleshed out than a simple link list but less introspective than an online diary, a good weblog is also a window onto the mind and daily life of its creator.

"By the way, did I mention the HP Web site is also produced on a Mac?"

Going to get a business license from the City of St. Louis today... ($150 a year to do any sort of business within the city limits, including being self-employed? Go ahead, St. Louis City, wonder why people move away...)
Got the Home Occupancy Waiver signed which lets me make my living out of my home, which is necessary for the business license.
Met with an accountant, hashed out tax issues.
Already working on one client project, with several more good possibilities lined up.
Before I hand out the business cards, though:
