Hi there! I hope you had an awesome Thanksgiving weekend. Unfortunately, I’ve not yet learned when to say when on our annual day of gratitude and gluttony. Perhaps next year I’ll do better.
One of the highlights of the holiday was Max blowing up the Death Star. Yep, you read that right. He flew his X-Wing right to the end of the trench, unleashed his proton torpedoes and…
BLAMMO!!!
He’d been trying for weeks. After his introduction to Star Wars a few months back, we also showed him Rogue Squadron for the Nintendo Gamecube, and he’s been trying to blow up the Death Star (the first level of the game) ever since.
Tomorrow I’ll tell you all about it. In fact, he might want to share in the honors himself.
Today, I’d like to send you over to Copyblogger.
One week back, I wrote a post for Copyblogger, “The Eminem Guide to Becoming a Writing and Marketing Machine.“ As of this morning, the post has earned a perma-spot on the sidebar for “Popular Posts.” Surprising to me is that even though I’ve written about one of the most controversial characters of our time, there is little if any dissent among the 100+ comments currently posted. I wasn’t looking forward to controversy, but I did expect to defend my position at least a little. I’m been blown away by the open minded writers from all walks of life sharing their thoughts on the post. Please feel free to share your own
The post was tremendous fun to write. Click on continue and check it out.
Thanks!

Ten years back, my soon-to-be wife, Cindy, and I first noticed the bombarding beat for Marshall Mather’s “My Name Is.”
“What an ass,” I said as the two of us sat to watch the Grammies a year later. “It’s sad he can sell so many records just by being vile. Really, how much talent can that possibly take?”
“Have you heard the record?” Cindy asked.
