I’ve been virtually non-existant in the blogosphere recently… you may have noticed the volumes of postings decreasing on the blog. I’ve been focusing on building out the digital media organization at work, going to the gym (Printing House in Soho), spending time with my wife, and golfing (Myrtle Beach, Augusta, Doral, etc).

I have no idea where folks like Fred Wilson, Greg Verdino, and Bijan Sabet get the time to blog and live a life offline (with their family) but I’ve not mastered it yet… far from it.  I don’t even have enough time to answer all my email these days.

The interesting thing is that I don’t miss my RSS feeds.  Even though I’m not getting “hot” information as it arises from the blogosphere, I still get that information one way or another either thru people sending me articles or colleagues and co-workers sharing it in meetings.

I wanted to share a few links to articles that I feel are interesting:
