But so do “cool” and “dude”, so back off. I thought that the first post of 2010 should at least fall in January. So Happy New Year, Happy Epiphany. (Both belated, of course.) Coming soon; my tale of the telemarketer.
I never really went away. I’ve just not posted in some time. Sorry if you have tried to subscribe to my RSS feed. It has man-made issues. I might work it out. I might not. Maybe I’ll just start from scratch.
A new addition the Matthew Musing blogroll - What Was I Thinking? It is not by Dirks Bentley. It is my wife, the Lovely Joyce. Snapshots of what her life is like as a stay at home mom of four boys. A fifth boy usually is home late for dinner. But to be fair, dinner is served early in the Keough house
What can I tell you? Four kids and a job that has me working from home most evenings equals little motivation to blog.
Excuses are like a-holes; everybody’s got ‘em and they all stink. So I’ll try to get back to it. And then I’ll also start a diet, and exercise..and to all those house repairs..and…..
If you are bored on a Saturday afternoon, and remember that you haven’t posted at your blog in a very long time, you might just need to do something silly. This was taken with my camera phone. My vanity has three mirrors, if you tilt them just right you can see life from several angles at once. It makes you think: that you need a shave and a haircut.
I’m right here. But posting has been light. Family stuff, work stuff and a lack of newly acquired embarrassing pictures from my youth are contributing factors. The lovely Joyce has been picking up the slack at Stop Me When I Am Lying, so stop by there as well.
Much of my daily work life is concerned with developing, promoting and protecting my clients’ brand. I’m not the only marketing type to recognize that individuals have a brand and the associated brand promise, as well. The most obvious individuals are running for office.
I’m not running for office. I joked in an earlier post that I was going to change the MatthewK.com website to align with my brand. So, I have a favor to ask. Please drop a comment with your impression of this website.
Why do you think it exists? Why do you visit? What would cause you to never come back?
I can take it. Remember, Matt Keough is not synonymous with MatthewK.com. Really.
When I started this blog, I stated that I was doing it to play around with WordPress. I’m continuing to do this. Most of the things are “back end” administration type things. But this week I started to get more embarrassed by the default theme. So I messed around with the header. That goes a long way, getting rid of that slightly gradient blue blob up top. More changes soon.
I’m just playing around. I realize there is a faint trace of blue border…and I really don’t think it is all that attractive. I downloaded the GIMP image editing software and played for a couple of minutes. Tomorrow I’ll put together a header that is consistent with the MatthewK.com brand.
By the way. I HAVE been musing online since about 1997. Starting on Tripod then moving the MatthewK.com in 1999.
So if things are pretty FUBAR here….shoot me an email. Thanks
