Yesterday was the day we mark as having the longest amount of daylight for the whole year. This past week I have been afflicted with a bit of insomnia and only seem to be able to get five hours of sleep at best each night. I woke at 3:50 am yesterday, well before that long period of light began. But the insomnia did allow me to enjoy every drop of sunshine the day offered. I didn't miss a thing.

Well here we are in June already and the days are starting to heat up and get humid as they usually do this time of year. It was May that proved more unpredictable. In the course of 31 days, we saw highs in the fifties, highs in the eighties, heavy rain, sunny days and high winds. One day, 70 to 90 mph straight-line winds tore through southwest Missouri knocking over trees and downing electrical

Earlier this week, we had a round of thunderstorms pass through during the early morning hours. I remember waking up just before 4am and hearing the sound of thunder nearby. I lazily considered getting up to unplug my computer but could not convince my body to follow through. At 4:08am, I bolted out of bed as lightning either struck the house or something close to it. In rapid succession, I heard

The tailless squirrel returned this weekend. I hadn't seen him in a few weeks and wondered what had become of him. He wandered into the yard hopping like a rabbit and headed for my wildlife feeding area. I keep a couple of bird feeders there and pour some seed on the ground for the doves as well as some fruit for the mockingbirds. I also drop a few ears of hard corn, the kind grown as silage and

I had my first encounter with a morel mushroom last weekend. I had never seen one before except in pictures so I was excited, especially since the finds are rare. I wrote about the experience on freshare.net and you can read that article here: The Morel of the Story.What was surprising to me was that morels didn't taste as exotic as I expected. I thought I would discover a musky, woodsy kind of

Earlier this week I mowed the lawn for the first time this season. The mower was a little cranky after being made to sit quietly all winter in a cold storage shed but it was finally convinced to start. At this early juncture, my lawn is mostly comprised of tufts of grass in a sea of dead brown material and an assortment of weeds. But all of it needs a weekly trim regardless of affiliation.The

I have tried using a free service called Ping-o-Matic to send out pings to a raft of directories anytime I update one of my blogs. I know the key word here is that it's free and I shouldn't complain, but here it comes anyway. The service is extremely unreliable. In my experience, about 95% of the time, Ping-o-Matic takes a few minutes to spin its wheels, jams up, then blames the mess on me by

Blame it on the economy, blame it on a business decision that did not work out quite as planned. Blame it on me. My lease was up at the end of February and I decided there was no point in renewing. It feels like the first step in a dismantling of my business. The end of a long era in my life.No rescue for me, I'm sure. I'll not expect anyone to ride up and hand me some bailout money. It's a small

The return of tree frogs is a nice welcoming song to announce that spring is near. I heard peepers the first time this year a couple of weeks ago during my evening walk. They were faint, but discernible in the distance. Late last week when the weather was warm, it was as if invitations had been sent out. Thursday night, I heard them closer to the road I was walking, concentrated on a few trees in

I decided to start a podcast series on the freshare site and actually produced the first one in late December. Click the program title to listen to that installment: freshare Ozarks Outdoors podcast. The plan was to create a new podcast every week following a format of introducing listeners to some of our top stories before a segue into the feature: an interview with someone who has close ties to

I'm beginning to wonder if we have some mutations in the animal gene pool around my house. Last Spring, a white dove settled in for a meal of birdseed under one of my feeders. Now, a tailless squirrel and and his stubby-tailed cousin are frequenting the feeders.By the way they move, it seems both squirrels must have been born without the trademark bushy tails average squirrels sport. Neither

I'm usually not much of one for New Year's resolutions and here is my only one for 2009: I plan to write more. Throughout last year, all my writing appeared only on my Ozarks outdoors website, freshare.net, and on a few article sites. But I have missed blogging and resolve to do more of that in 2009. Here, on Amblin Cafe and for a soon to be developed outdoors blog on freshare. If you check this

My daughter and her husband had a baby shower a week or so ago. This is their first child and my first grandbaby, so we are all pretty excited. Check out the post about our ultrasound experience.The best gift they got at the shower, in my view anyway, was a diaper genie. I had not seen nor heard of one until the shower. It's ingenious. Kind of like the biohazard containers you see in hospitals

Yesterday, I got a chance to see my first grandbaby for the very first time. I don't want to sound like some wayward grandparent, so let me clear that up by saying I saw her with a 3D ultrasound. She's due to arrive somewhere around March 18 but I welcomed the opportunity to take a sneak peek.The nurse pointed out all these wonderful and amazing features - nose, fingers, big toe.

One thing I like about websites is that they are easily changed and updated as suits the readers and visitors. We've been running a poll on freshare as well as checking which content gets the most reads, what topics get the most attention, even which pages have the highest Google rankings.From all that information, we are getting a clearer picture of what our readers want, what brings visitors to

I'm sitting here wearing my hiking boots and that made me think about a long hike I took the weekend before Christmas. A nearly three hour trek through the Arkansas hills and woods.It was a cold day, mist rose from the wet creek bed along the path. I saw several deer, found a cave, uncovered a rock to find a sleepy salamander. Found some old scrapes a buck made the month before, poked around a

We are coming off one of the toughest years I have ever faced as a businessman. We abandoned a dying print publication in late 2006 and replaced it with what is now freshare.net. But the whole process was like launching a brand new business instead of building on an old one. Our customer base for employmag was much different than the one we'll have to continue to develop for freshare. And,

Well, the ice storm I talked about in the last post did not affect our immediate area too badly. We just had a little accumulation on the trees and none on the roads. To our west and throughout much of Oklahoma it was a lot worse. Hundreds of thousands lost power and some are still without power.Last weekend, we were ready for a major snowstorm that meteorologists were predicting could dump up to

We are bracing for another ice storm today and tomorrow. So far, it's only been rain here, but not too many miles to our north and to our west, ice has already fallen and caused power outages, heavy tree limbs and icy patches on roads. The news reported that the entire town of Lamar, Missouri is dark, without power.We are all hoping this storm won't be of the same magnitude as the January ice

Besides eating until I nearly burst, I went fishing over the the Thanksgiving holiday. The White River - my favorite spot on the planet. It was still deer season in Arkansas, and there was only one camp at the landing - a deer hunting party. The rest of the river was mine. It was cold, maybe 40 degrees, and a bit windy but the fish were biting well. The river was very low and the water clear as

I was out in the woods over the weekend. Deer season. Arrived before first light. I climbed into my tree, had a cup of coffee and stared up at the stars, listened to coyotes howl about half a mile away and deer move cautiously on dry leaves.As the stars melted into morning, Venus was the last to give up her light. And soon, the blackness turned to gray then to full color as the sun rose higher in

Last month, I was invited to participate in a panel discussion sponsored by Missouri State University's Journalism Department. The panel met yesterday and discussed ethics in citizen journalism. It was a great experience and I felt privileged to be a part of the group which included Brian Lewis, a columnist for the News-Leader, and Doug McGill of the McGill Report and formerly of Bloomberg and

I had the best of intentions. Really, I did. My plan was to design a complete makeover for freshare.net. And I did that part. I was lax in pursuing the other part of my plan. I wanted to blog my design process and talk about some of the pitfalls encountered and successes achieved along the way. But I got too busy designing and constructing with a fast approaching deadline. There was little time

The price of a gallon of gasoline is getting way out of hand. Even the filling stations and convenience stores think so. If you pay by debit card, beware. A store could, legally, put a hold on your checking account until such time as the charge you made against it for gasoline goes through. And, sometimes, that could take several days. In the meantime, you may not be able to get cash from an ATM

Well, our stats continue to climb in terms of the number of visitors and the number of page views. The "viral marketing" components - email articles, print stories, tell-a-friend - all are picking up steam, so that should result in ever higher numbers of visitors and page views.The MySpace page also seems to be sending traffic to freshare, although it's difficult to measure exactly how much.We

The publicity package actually did hit on June 5. Since then, we have been seeing about a thousand page views per day as word gets out about the site. Pleased to note, too, that people are going deeper into the site than just viewing the front page. They are also reading articles, emailing them and printing them off.We completed work on our MySpace this past week as well. Already boasting nine

We are beginning to see a bump upward in traffic to the freshare site. Google ad revenue is showing upward trends, too. The publicity package has yet to be completed, so we may be seeing traffic from new links we requested from a variety of other websites.We also launched a unique search engine powered by Google technology that only searches the top quality blogs in the Ozarks. It's a great way

Finally got to speak with our linking strategist about plans for the freshare site. I told him that the linking strategy was going slowly - a lot of tedious work with very few solid results. I wanted to move on to the publicity part of the plan.We discussed that strategy and what was needed. Then Eric made the best suggestion yet.

Our expert in linking and publicity strategy has pretty much ignored my emails requesting the final conversation and the publicity package I've already paid for. Today I sent out an email reminding him I already paid him (two months ago) and expect an immediate reply. I got one. We are slated to finish up tomorrow.

We've spent the last week and a half or so emailing hundreds of web site administrators requesting they link to freshare. While we were extremely busy, productive emails have been hard to come by. We picked up about half a dozen or so links, some unfulfilled promises of links and a lot of unanswered emails.It's not like we spammed or shotgunned our efforts. We hired an individual who is known in

For me, writing the code behind the website was a slow, sometimes painstaking process. I knew a bit of HTML, but precious little about Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and Expression Engine, or EE (the software I chose to power our content management system).The HTML part was not too bad. Fairly straightforward and not to cumbersome to work with. Mostly, I used HTML to divide up the page, create

Well, it's been quite some time since I last blogged here. But now that the website makeover is complete, I have a little more time to write English instead of xhtml and CSS code. Over the next several days I'll be recounting the process we've gone through in our website transformation.For example, while I was away from the blog I revised the "YourPanorama" web site twice. The last revision was a

Well, we're bracing for another major ice storm. This one has the potential to be worse than the storm we experienced a few weeks ago. Already, over half an inch of ice has fallen. The trees are coated and I can hear limbs breaking outside. The precipitation is actually coming down as rain, but it is freezing on contact. Roads are clear, but even that is expected to deteriorate as the night goes

It's time to take the YourPanorama site and give it a major makeover. It has served its purpose well for a couple of months, but the time has come to pretty it up and add some new features while we're at it. In fact, we're even going to change the name of the site to give it a jazzier sound and shorten the number of syllables it takes to accomplish that.Most of the site re-design work will occur

We took some time last week, in between the holidays, to lay out plans for YourPanorama. Up until now it seems we were making decisions daily as to what sounded like the right thing to do, which direction to pursue and which means appeared the best way to achieve our goals. The result was that it felt more like we were floundering than setting sail in a prescribed path. I should have learned a

We've been trying to get some of the local bloggers to take note of YourPanorama to help us promote it and to add some fresh new content to the site. One blogger, Steve from House of Warwick, had suggested that we need to take a closer look at our terms of service. He indicated they made it sound as if we were going to steal ideas and materials from members then market them as our own. Not at all

If you had no other way to tell what time of year it was, you could nearly pinpoint the date simply by observing Springfield traffic. An alternative method would be to visit the mall or any of the large box stores in town. In either case, the most accurate determination of time would be to have established a reference point a few weeks ago, then make a more recent observation for

Actually, I do know whose woods these are and his house isn't in the village, it's on the property. This is where I've gone deer hunting every year for the past fourteen seasons. It's comprised of a couple hundred or so acres with a large pasture, lots of woods, pond, creeks, springs and plenty of deer habitat. Not that I see deer every year or even fill my tag every year. That's not the point. I

We've built a great web site, although it does need some tweaking now that we have the initial site running, but we just aren't seeing the level of traffic or participation we had hoped for at this point in time. We are currently looking at new ways to draw attention to the site and to increase visitor's length of stay. Tried Google AdWords, but with little success even after refining our key

A big winter storm hit the area on Thursday sending temperatures into the teens and dumping anywhere from a trace to our south to 17 inches of snow and ice to our north. We got about two inches of ice and sleet here plus about five inches of snow on top of that. These are a couple shots taken Friday morning after the storm passed. There are a few more photos at YourPanorama.com. Just click on the

Got the Christmas lights finished while the weather was still warm. It was 65 degrees or better this past weekend when I did most of the work. The final touches were completed on Monday night while temps remained near 60 degrees. I'm glad of it. It was 71 today before the cold front moved through. Within an hour it was in the mid-fifties and still falling. Predictions are for freezing rain, sleet

Back from a short break over the holiday and the fishing was great. The river was up on Thursday and murky from the rains earlier in the week but the trout were biting anyway. I ventured out in my chest waders and was able to get further out into the current than I thought.Limited out (5 fish) on Thursday although I caught a total of nine and had to release a couple. A few more released

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. I'm heading off to Calico Rock, Arkansas for a little food, some great trout fishing and a chance to relax a little.

I've been trying to come up with a productive campaign using Google AdWords for the new web site, but it's very tough to hone them down to a workable number ... a productive, workable number.I tried the local market and got few hits. Nationwide presented plenty of hits but they were not quality page views as few people stayed on the site and no one joined as members. We have a regional news site

We're in the middle of starting up and trying to make a go of a new project at the office. It's a big undertaking and a major new direction for the company. I'll talk about that a lot in this blog - what we tried that worked, what failed, what we could have done better. But I'll also want to take some time to discuss other things on my mind each day. Some funny stuff, some serious stuff and just
