BloomBurst is written by Matthew Reinbold. He currently lives in Salt Lake, Utah and has been a web designer, site developer, and usability engineer since 1999.
Some good news, I promise.
On BloomBurst, some of what I hope to expand on in the future is the evolution of the micro-enterprise. There are so many people doing exciting things because of cheap hosting, free code, and some enterprising execution. It's the domain of the knowledge worker - or someone that is a nodal point for ideas. Modus operandi is have wifi’d laptop, make a living.
Along those lines I'm pleased to announce a new side gig as contributing writer for Web Worker Daily. That’s a site from Om Malik, a favorite of mine for about as long as I've been reading blogs. Om is an award winning technology journalist and former senior writer for Business 2.0. He’s since struck out on his own and is building an ‘online media publisher’ (the mechanics of which I hope to also learn from this vantage point). Most importantly, he (so far) is a great guy. I was a little nervous about the time commitment and whether there would be article quotas. Om’s response on what to post?
"No expectations - just the posts which come from your heart and your brain, not from your wallet."
He’s got a interview with Robert Scoble, for those interested.
At the end of high school I had a decision to make: was I going to be a writer or was software my profession? Given my affinity for eating something more substantial than ketchup soup on a regular basis I chose software. With everything that's happen lately its crazy to stop and take stock of my professional life; somehow those two roads that diverged in a wood have rejoined again. It's not about taking the one less traveled - it's about being able to see what lies along both.Cross-pollinated on mutednoise.com and CodeAway.org.
