I’ve noticed a lot more activity in my feed reader since Labor Day. People are getting serious about blogging again, and I am too. From yesterday:

• Will Weakening Economy KO Web 2.0 Startups? [GigaOM]
• Tried and True Ways to Make Money Online [Web Worker Daily]
• Shells with Caramelized Onions, Blue Cheese, and Toasted Walnuts [The Everyday Cafe]
• Personal Project Productivity for the Hippie Right-Brained Creative [Anne Truitt Zelenka]

And from last week:

• Email Immunity Changes Email Etiquette [Web Worker Daily]
• 6 Tricks for Making Your Own French Bread Pizza [The Everyday Cafe]

For this week, I have a few things I might write about:

• Author platforms vs. author networking continuing the discussion from Chris Webb’s post
• Slow-cooker beef burgundy — made it yesterday, quite delicious but a lot of work and more expensive than I imagined, given the beef ended up costing close to $30. The wine was cheap, fortunately. I just used box wine we’d opened a couple weeks ago.
• More on how I use projects to keep myself motivated and productive in a way that works with my bursty, right-brained temperament.
• A review of Penelope Trunk’s Brazen Careerist book. She’s a great writer with sharp advice, and I really mean sharp, because sometimes it hurts!
