This Labor Day marks the end of my Summer Technology Break, a self-imposed exile from spending too much time at the computer when instead I could be enjoying family, the great outdoors, and the real world. How did I do? Well, the family spent some time in Michigan visiting family, friends, and the fish. My 4 1/2 year-old son caught his first trout on his first fishing trip (thanks to the patience of Jason and Jean Stephens from Head Hunter Guides). We also spent a week camping and hiking in the Black Hills of South Dakota which included a family hike up Harney Peak. For the most part, I would say my break from technology during my hours away from my "day job" was a success.
While I did manage to maintain CMS Report during the summer with a number of posts, I would say my Google PageRank and decrease in advertisement revenue shows that I was indeed on a technology break. With the break over, I will now be tending to the posts in numbers and consistency with more tender loving care. I also have some ideas for helping to take CMSReport.com up to the next level. For better or for worse, you can expect some changes at this site in the months to follow.
