200,000 Pageviews!
Last year about this time, my blog reached 100,000 pageviews. I was proud of this milestone even though it took me four years to reach it. Now, less than one year later, I’ve doubled that number. Silent Cacophony has just reached 200,000 pageviews. Here are my stats for the week. I know I don’t have a…

Silent Cacophony Turns 5!
In March of 2007 I started this blog with a very specific goal. I wanted to become a published author and thought it would be a great idea to establish a presence online.

I Should Blog That!
Image via Wikipedia There have been many, many occasions where I have been out and about and thought, “I should blog about that!” Ideas float around in my head constantly.

Journal Vs Blog
Last year, I wrote 250 blog entries. Do the math. 250 entries divided by 365 days in the year = a 68.5% efficiency. That number is misleading though since my goal was to write a blog entry every weekday. So let’s revise the numbers 52 weeks in a year times 5 days a week =…

Blog Inaction Day
Yesterday I lamented about the old posts that get forgotten in the blogosphere. Today I have a solution. We need to collectively stop and take a look back. That’s why I am proposing a Blog Inaction Day. That’s right. A day of inaction. A day where all bloggers don’t publish anything. A day where we…
