I record every golf score in two places (spreadsheet and a stats tracking site) within hours of golfing, but I never make time to write on my blogs.

I Write When I Want To

We do not write because we want to; we write because we have to.
W. Somerset Maugham
Maugham obviously had never heard of blogs when he made the above quote.
I haven’t made a post here at MDV since August 2nd. I’ve had plenty to write about, but just haven’t felt like it. And guess what, I’m fine [...]

Enjoying the Weather Among Other Things

I’ve been enjoying the weather for the past several weeks which means spending less and less time on the computer. That also means less time for blogging and less updates here as well as my other blogs. I’ve also cut back on my poker playing dramatically which takes away computer time as well. This is [...]

Ahhhh

Where to start?
It’s been nearly a month since the last post here at MtDewVirus. That has to be a record since the blog started over two years ago. The lack of posts hasn’t been because of a lack of activity, because plenty has been going on in my life and the world around me. I [...]

A Sporting Thanksgiving

As posted previously, I attended a few professional sports events over the Thanksgiving holiday. Last Wednesday (Nov. 23) my parents left Rogers City bright and early. I’m not sure why they came down so early, but I wasn’t too happy that they interrupted my Xbox 360 time since I had just hooked it up the [...]

Feeding at the Trough

I just realized that I feed at the trough way too much.

Caught the Feeder

I just caught up on my feed reading. I had well over 100 unread items to go through. The count rarely gets above 30 because I usually check several times a day, but I’ve been a bit busy with other things so that hasn’t happened lately.

Stop Comment Spam and Trackback Spam

With Akismet from Automattic or more specifically Matt Mullenweg. I just purchased a Pro-blogger license for an entire year and installed the WordPress plugin on all of my blogs. I removed my other spam prevention plugins, turned off the Comment author must have a previously approved comment option in WP, and even deleted my comment [...]

A 2nd Job

I’ve been spending a lot of time lately with blogs. In the last few weeks, I’ve launched two new sites, NICKED Up and Primary Rough. This has taken up a lot of my free time and will continue to do so. I have another site or two on the way. As I launch more sites [...]

Blogs Are Here to Stay

The big buzz around the blogosphere is AOL buying Weblogs, Inc. which reinforces the fact that blogs are here to stay.

Launching NICKED Up

I just launched NICKED Up, which will be a type of “home base” for the network of blogs that I run. For full details visit the first post at the new site, titled This is NICKED Up. I’ve closed comments on this post at MDV in order to keep all comments over there.

Golden Ticket

I received the Golden Ticket in my Inbox just a few minutes ago. Check out Nick Momrik on WordPress.com.

Behind the Words

A lot of times when I post something it feels as if I’m just typing words, but not saying a whole lot. This has been my biggest problem with updating blogs recently.
