Hello again. I know it has been a long time since I checked in here, but better late than never.I know that many people are looking for legitimate ways to make a living online. The best program I have found is called Blogging To The Bank. I've devoted a whole web site to it here. Or, you can go directly to the source to find out more.

A new blog, with top-notch articles on an amazing variety of subjects, is Solid Gold Writers at solidgoldwiters.blogspot.com. Check it out today.

Qumana appears to be a neat little program for posting to blogs without going through one's individual blog interface.  If I'm understanding the features correctly, it will allow me to write posts offline for uploading at my pleasure, to cross-post to multiple blogs if I want, and to insert Technorati and other tags more easily than heretofore. And maybe other cool tricks that I haven't yet

Another site I've built--probably my quirkiest one by far--is Golf In the Year 2000 at www.golf-in-the-year-2000.com. I won't try to explain it here; just check it out for yourself. Even non-golfers seem to enjoy its strangeness.And, here's a personal page about me: www.mindspring.com/~freedom1/

I'm not sure why, but this blog suddenly seems to be getting a lot more traffic--even though I have pretty much let go of it since moving on to other projects.Right now, I'm building the first of what will be a number of web sites devoted to different aspects of anti-aging. The one most recently completed is DHEA for Antiaging, the URL for which is www.dhea-youth.com.

Saw a great reggae group, Jamrock, at an African heritage festival in Cary. More on them later, including some photos. Then was sick the greater part of last week and did not make the Triangle bloggers meetup, among other things. However, I did at last launch my new website presenting the full text of one of the oddest books you're likely ever to read, Golf in the Year 2000. As far as I can

I would like to link to the blogs of everyone who was at the meetup last night. Maybe one day I'll take the time to do it. Meantime I'll do it the lazy way, with a link to Anton Zuiker's "Blog Together" post on the evening.

According to a news report yesterday, some Japanese researchers are reporting that coffee may help prevent liver cancer. They studied 90,000+ people and found that people who drank coffee daily or nearly every day) had the half the liver cancer risk of those who never drank it. The protective effect was even stronger in those who drank three or four cups a day as opposed to those who only drank

I arrived about a half-hour into last night's blogger meetup at Driade's in Chapel Hill (one of my favorite haunts, by the way). A good group of 13 or 14 was still going strong. Lots of good ideas and technical help floating around, and--as someone else pointed out--because Driade's doesn't have wi-fi and no one could blog during the get-together, we all had to actually pay attention to one

Anton Zuiker is pulling together folks for a blogger meetup on Wednesdays in Chapel Hill. The initial venue is Driade's on Franklin Street--possibly my favorite coffee shop. If there's any place around here that captures what I imagine to be the spirit of the beat-era coffee houses, I think Driade's is it. Good excuse to revisit!

Yes, the tennis site has its own poster store. Give it a look.

I attended the Triangle Bloggers Conference today on the UNC campus. Great turnout and a very interesting discussion. Its main value to me was a re-motivator for my own blogging efforts. However, I still feel somewhat on the fringe of the whole blogging thing. I'm more enthralled with the concept than with the actual work. Many of the people at this conference, though, have obviously made it

I'm dying to try this out: sports arbitrage betting. The example on my very own tennis site web page makes sense to me. How about you? Am I missing anything?

Well, perhaps I won't totally abandon this blog after all.I'm planning on attending a blogging conference at UNC tomorrow. Perhaps it will inspire me to take up where I left off here.Should I take my laptop with me and blog from the conference? Isn't that the cool blogging thing to do?

Yes, I have six -- count 'em, 6 -- Gmail invitations to distribute. I will send them to the first six people who request one. Just leave your name and email address as a comment to this blog, and I will send your invite right out to you.

Went to Penguin's with the family this morning per the usual Sunday routine (Penguin's being a cafeteria/coffee shop attached to the Chapel Hill Whole Foods store--review to come!). On the way home I tuned in 103.5 FM to listen to the test broadcast of the new low-powered radio station in Carrboro, WCOM. The station goes on the air for real in September. Last December I took part in a "

1.) Want to publicize your blog? Feel free to do it in a comment here. I prefer to hear about blogs related (even if tangentially) to coffee houses, nightowl lifestyles, or coffee in general. But don't feel restricted. 2.) Here's a new blog directory that is currently a'formin': GetBlogs.com. 3.) My daughter would love for you to visit her Web site: SendMeToIndia.com.

For us night people, coffee houses are our little islands of light and companionability (even when we don't speak with others) in a dark ocean. Taken together they form the Java Bean Archipelago.

Last night I went to the General Store Café to hear Nu-Blu play. The place was packed. The current owners are doing something right. If anything, they need more space (and more wait-staffing). I reported previously that their food menu is quite limited. It turns out that they do have a more extensive dinner menu (just for entertainment nights?). Before Nu-Blu played, one of the owners talked
