It has been light years since blogosphere trembled with exciting news. Said news arrived in a whisper that Jason Calacanis has retired from blogging. Calacanis, one of bloggings’ prodigal sons, a blogosphere beacon has just doused his light.

I am busy drafting some copy and I am struggling with two words:
1. Passion
2. Conversation
Is it only me who thinks these two words are grossly overused and now fall within the ‘glib’ bracket?
I don’t want to use them as they convey a sense of false reality to me. The word ‘conversation’ has been a pillar of blogosphere’s Web 2.0 for so long now and jumps out everywhere and far too often is used out of context which I suppose has caused me to think it is time for the word to be rested.
I am also experiencing a great deal of resistance to using ‘passion’ or ‘passionate’.
A bit like an Anglo-Saxon expletive, the word is a shortcut to save further meaningful explanation about why you like, enjoy and excel at a certain thing.
For example, “I am passionate about Tiddlywinks”.
Nah, it doesn’t quite cut the ice for me! Apologies to Tiddlywinks officianados. I mean no offense, but I can’t feel it let alone imagine how one gets passionate about a game called Tiddlywinks.

The site has been very quiet mainly because my attention has been diverted to other things.
One of which is to create a Members Only section. So over the next few weeks you will begin to see changes here at iScatterlings.
The blog will remain and will be updated regularly. Sometime over the next 10 days I will blog about the changes and explain what benefit you can derive from the Members Only area.

As we now enjoy the advent of Twitter to addictive levels I thought it appropriate to recall this post from 2007 to compliment the Trackside Communications piece below.
Don’t take this to heart! It is a cynical tongue in cheek nudge and a wink about the faddishness of our celebs and bloggers!
You know then that when your present life gets you down, you can always blindly follow the celebs and change to Life 3.0

Where have all the Geek Dinners gone? Wazzzuup?! My social life is in turmoil. I’m a redundant in social blogging terms! No socialising opportunities, no free vino and worst of all - no Flikr opportunities…Eeeeek!
Heh! I decided to enrich the blank cardboard sign with meaningful and apt social content and in so doing ooze my concience and also conform to Web 3.0 or am I out of sync now that I don’t get my social fix anymore.
Tongue in cheek or what? But then the morbid dross humour goes with the climate of uncertainty and the foul weather.

ENGAGE lite - but oh so much more

I do not like nor support the Labour party nor the trotskyite currently occupying 10 Downing St.
I have seen more charisma in roadkill than there is in Brown. His smile is a painful experience to see.
He really does ‘morose’ so well he should stick with it. The humourless age of the Stalinist days at The Kremlin would have been his ideal environment. No smiles. Just total glum and dour monotony.

No joke. Really. Too many people on this planet think they are not worthy of your and my appreciation
Too many people on this planet think they do not meet someone else’s expectations when in fact they do. All they have done is gotten themselves into a loop of not believing they have the talent and skills and characteristics to be so darned great.
We need to help these people by breaking the self-destructive loop. Please do it.
