Promoting Professional Geekery #4: Start The Damn Blog!
Well it's quite a good week to be focusing on one of my favorite subjects – promoting professional geekery, the idea that people can (and in many cases) should turn what they love into a career. It's "Speak Out With Your Geek Out" and let me focus on #4: Starting The Damn Blog.

So, start it.
