The decision to undertake blogging is a relatively easy decision in the grand scheme of things. Selecting a topic to write about, acquiring hosting, choosing software and a design for the site is fairly simple, especially if you have familiarity with blogging. The hardest part of maintaining a blog is writing with regularity. The difficulty level is magnified exponentially if you have a full-time job and come home to a family. How do you overcome the lack of time while sustaining your dream?

Confessions of a Google Addict – Where Is My Google Dashboard?
Posted by Scott Jarkoff in Articles
They say the first step to realizing you’re addicted to something is to admit you have an addiction. To recognize you may have a problem. So here I am, on this faithful Monday evening, confessing I have a healthy addiction to Google’s online products.
Let me explain.
Waaaaay back in the day, on April 1, 2004, when Google originally published their press release regarding Gmail, announcing the company was testing a preview release of their web-based email product I was ecstatic. The holy grail had arrived – Google, our saviour, to rescue us from the evil web-based email providers has surely devised a far superior product, right?
At the time, I was a long time opponent of web-based email. I despised how Microsoft, Yahoo! and others riddled their products with huge and obnoxious advertisements. Suddenly a new thrill was thrown down my spine at the thought of a new web-based email system which did not append “crap” to every email sent, nor were users disturbed with unwieldy advertising on every page.
It sounded like heaven so I sought out a mission to grab a Gmail account and be part of the “in crowd” at the time. I was lucky, got my account and the rest, as they say, is history. Ever since Gmail was released I have faithfully awaited Google to release new, useful web-based products which can be used to dislodge me from my local workstation and move me to the cloud. Each time Google released a new piece of the cloud puzzle, I was there to jump on top of the offering and adopt it like the fanboy I am.
