Knocking the Great Sloth Down on His Ass

I’m starting to see things a lot clearer. Starting to engage more and dwell in possibilities. Thanks to everyone for your support. I’m lucky to have such great friends and a pretty awesome extended group of acquaintances who are just as passionate about this crazy ecommerce, internet marketing, and techie world as I am. Still amazes me that this all started with a blog.

One of my favorite quotations comes from Bradbury’s Farenheit 451:
“I hate a Roman named Status Quo!” he said to me. “Stuff your eyes with wonder,” he said, “live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories. Ask no guarantees, ask for no security, there never was such an animal. And if there were, it would be related to the great sloth which hangs upside down in a tree all day every day, sleeping its life away. To hell with that,” he said, “shake the tree and knock the great sloth down on his ass.”

With my mind coming off of vacation (as of about a week ago – thank you, you know who!), a smile on my face, and a hunger to learn and grow, I’m starting to ‘shake the tree and knock the great sloth down on his ass!’ I’m thinking seriously about what’s next and entertaining offers. I want to share some of this process with you.

To the casual reader of this blog, I just want to say that the upcoming content might be completely useless to you. If so, I thank you for reading and wish you well. If you want to just read about the shopping engines (and a bit more), tell Kevin Packler of Mercent, and the author of Channel Dollars to get to work. He’s a good guy, a quality writer, and an incredible fountain of knowlege. Tell him to bring @CoryCalifornia and @RickGalan along for the ride! You won’t be disappointed.

For those of you willing to stick around, it’s going to take me a bit to find my new voice, and I could be all over the place, but take a chance on me like you’ve done before. I’ll try not to disappoint.

    Wow, so you have been, or I guess I should say, you will be very busy. Thanks for the shout out. I’ll be waiting to see what new direction you head in, and hopefully, I’ll get a chance to take part in that journey with you.

    It’s a big world, with more than enough wonder for all of our eyes.

    Brian, too bad it looks like you are not going to focus on comparison engines anymore? There are engines popping up daily in the search space, which I am hugely interested in. As a techie, there are still a ton of search app I feel that could be done, as complimentary to google, bing, etc.
