You have the best blog name ever IMO. If you're even in Austin, give me a shout. Lots of fun Ruby stuff going on here. Thanks for the shout-out. You have the best blog name ever IMO.

But what works best as a sustainable engine is: 1) showing on a regular basis 2) be genuine, and sincere 3) risk being wrong with a hunch or hypothesis 4) HowTos technical or otherwise are good for long term sustained readers (how to embed google wave on your blog has gotten a steady 30-70 views per day for over a month) 5) Long term growth is steady. As you keep blogging you build up a massive history of rich, well though content. 6) social sharing/crowd sourcing: I've had pretty amazing HackerNews days as well. I find that the posts I think will be smash hits don't always do well. I'm exploring and learning about crowd sharing sites and the attention market for ideas. Thanks for the shout Matt. I like your blogs background, wish the text was brighter. (ps get Disqus so folks on other sites can see people commenting here as an additional virtual path to your platform).
