The coolest thing about the web is you never know when an article/blog post you wrote will find a new audience. I was pleasantly surprised to find that a forum called the My Little Pony Trading Post had linked to a piece I wrote about my son getting his own My Little Pony. I think they missed my followup post, My Little Ponies for Little Dudes, though, or certainly they would have been all, “Woah, those are some awesome manly ponies!”
So while all you other blogs are getting Digged (or is the correct word Dugg?), Tweeted and Stumbld, I got Ponied! Take that, popular blogs! In your faces!
In other news…
Congratulations to Tracey OConnor whose I Hate My Messageboard was recently named one of the Top 10 Websites for Writers in 2009 by Writer’s Digest magazine. In her post yesterday, she was nice enough to thank me for designing her site, though I imagine they were honoring her more for her content than her site’s appearance. And while as a writer, I figured I would someday be in Writer’s Digest in some form or another, it seems only fitting (in the odd way that my professional life has unfolded) that my artwork would end up in the magazine first (as pictured in the screenshot of Tracey’s site). So, check out the magazine for some other cool sites mentioned in the article and check out I Hate My Messageboard for one of my personal Top 10 favorite sites.
Available Darkness
Sean Platt and I are still going strong on Available Darkness over at Collective Inkwell, even if reader response has been pretty quiet, save for our loyal handful of AD supporters.
Maybe we should market it as the best kept secret on the web.
If you are among the millions who haven’t been reading, and you happen to like suspenseful horror with mystery, vampires and some romantic and fantasy elements, then by all means, go check it out – and tell a few million friends, k?
Speaking of Sean…
He’s really all up in arms about this whole Kanye West thing. First he goes off on Kanye West at his Writer Dad site, but then he also discusses Kanye’s lack of talent over at Collective Inkwell, where he compares a song done by both Kanye and The Fray and tells you which one is the worst thing ever. Can you guess which? He ALSO wrote about Kanye in a post for the kids. This might be the most inspirational thing Kanye’s ever done, if only for inspiring Sean to write three posts! Yeah, it’s a week after the fact but the dude has two kids, a wife and an annoying business partner, so he takes a bit of time to get to the really important things in life, like celebrity screw-ups.
That’s it for today. Come back tomorrow, when I will write about Thomas the Train and … poop. Yes, I will manage to connect the two. Aren’t you excited?

LOL, I’m shaking my head in shame…. 4 posts, dude. I couldn’t stop. At Ghostwriter Dad it’s, “What Kanye Can Teach You About Good Business.” Someone needs to stop me!

Dave, don’t worry about Sean. I’ve seen this kind of thing before. It’s called a crush.
Oh, and I don’t like horror stories. Have you got anything about underwear models? I’d read that. “Available Corsets”. That’s yours for free BTW.
Dave´s last blog ..The Snorkflingers Are Over Here Too
My blog hasn’t been dugged yet. Of course, it’s already been stumbled – yeah, I made sure of that. Sneaky me. Ahahaha.
Now, you’ve thrown being ponied into the happy mix. And how would I be able to do that now, David? You always raise the bar every time I visit here. What’s a poor blogger got to do to keep up!
Yeah, Sean surprised me, too. I was reading his article on Kanye on Collective Inkwell last night. I had to double back to make sure it was him. I thought to myself, “Here goes David again.” But I was wrong. And to think there are three other articles on Kanye. Jesus. This is an interesting, must-see development.

Congratulations on your honors and awards ….this was a fun post. Thank you
Patricia´s last blog ..DIY* Healthcare Plan: Skin Care
My son loves to walk around with a purse. I’ve been looking for a product called “My 1st Man-purse” just to make sure we’re heading in the right direction.
David´s last blog ..PRINCESSES
aka ‘the Murse’
Congrats on having your work recognized — that’s killer. Don’t get me started on Thomas the Tank Engine. You can’t get the music out of your head, the show has no story and Sir Toppum Hat has to be running an organized crime family from his office.
Playstead´s last blog ..How to Name Your Kids
Congrats on being ponied. Enjoy the ride.
Okay, so I’m going to have to go back a few posts to really catch the pony. However, I’m going to have to say whoa for the moment because, while I’m posting about Johnny Appleseed Day, I’m looking forward to Thomas the Train and poop!!! Go figure:)

Although until you get linked by the Furries, you aren’t in the big leagues yet. It’s true, I read it in the Problogger book.
