The world sticks to the paved roads. The roads are paths paved by industry. The paths are trails widened by the marketplace. The trails are hacked by the Weird, who leave the paved road for the sake of curiosity and wonderment. Where the Weird go, the world follows.

Something New

Friday, November 14th, 2008

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about marketing and the democratization of media, since I took over at Business & Blogging.

Forgive me…

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

So I’m proud to introduce the Sinister Guide Series, a collection of e-books designed to help you through the marketing process. The first book arrived today: […]

Bases Loaded!

Wednesday, August 1st, 2007

I’ve been a little dormant this last week because of an impending arrival at the Lefthanded Lair…and he arrived today! I’d like to introduce everyone to Sean Charles Thompson, number three of three. He was born today at 1:36pm weighing in at a whopping 5lbs, 15.4 ounces.
