Book: I'm currently writing a book, which should be done by the end of the year and published in late 2008. I'm still negotiating the details with the publisher -- being a blogger who puts out a lot of content complicates the contract quite a bit.

Speaking: On Sunday I gave a 90-minute presentation on blogging in Palm Springs.

Humor skills: I've been spending a lot of time working on my humor skills and studying comedy. I'm also competing in the Toastmasters humorous speech contest this year. I won my club contest and will be competing in the area contest in a few weeks.

Toastmasters/NSA: I'm currently in 2 different Toastmaster clubs as well as the Las Vegas National Speakers Association. I attend meetings regularly.

Disc golf: Played a round this morning with a friend. We usually play once a week. Today I won by 5 strokes.

Moving: Erin and I moved to a new house 3 months ago, which is probably the worst thing a person can do to his/her productivity.

Selling a house: We're fixing up our old house to sell. Just hand it painted and recarpeted. Next up is new blinds, then landscaping.

Martial arts: Still training in kempo, although I'm going to drop it next month. I expect to be doing a lot more travel next year, and I won't be able to attend local classes consistently. I also moved farther away from the studio, which makes attending every class take 20-30 minutes longer.

Media stuff: I do media interviews once every week or two. Yesterday I was quoted in the San Francisco Chronicle (print and online), and about a week ago I got a mention on the Chicago Tribune's web site.

Friends: Erin and I are planning to host a Halloween costume party this year.

The big thing this year has been the move to a new house and getting the old house ready to sell. Believe me I'd much rather be doing more blogging and podcasting than dealing with those details.
