After six months of pouting, I am finally re-taking up the cause of blogging. The last six months brought many good stories and personal developments I should have recorded for your entertainment. I am now through contributing to my original blog which was housed at YourHub.com.
My initial motivation for blogging was to help out a fledging reverse-publishing project on ColoradoSprings.com when I still worked for them. Around January of 2008, they discontinued reverse publishing to print and I slowly lost my motivation to support a project terminated before it had a chance to turn a profit. A little while later, a massive round of layoffs eliminated most of the YourHub community journalists and gutted part of the online staff AGAIN. I would have likely been rolled out at that point if I hadn’t made my voluntary exit 8 months earlier.
I hate to speak ill of the dead (namely, the newspaper industry) but I’ve never worked for a company that so willingly sabotaged viable revenue streams. This will be my final rant about my former employer as there are far more interesting things to go on about.
If you’re curious enough to read through a whole bunch of my older stuff, you can find the YourHub Blog at this location. http://coloradosprings.yourhub.com/~amysfalconblog
I am now enabled in other multimedia capacities including Flickr and Twitter. You can follow what’s going on at the dog show, see new and old photos or just follow my text-message ramblings at the following two links.

The two primary subjects are the dogs and my job but a few other things sneak in there occasionally. I’ve become a wine connoisseur and at the encouragement of a friend, started writing down my tasting notes. Nothing tastes better than full-bodied wine snobbery. We have also added a few chapters to “Days of our Weims” and new members to the household from our 2008 edition of dog breeding madness.
