    The struggle of boldness

    I used to ask God for patience. I tend to be an impatient person, so I never quite understood why God wouldn’t give me patience when I asked. That is, I never quite understood why until a wise friend of mine and I, Anthony Horvath, were having a conversation on this topic one night. I [...]

    What’s in a name?

    I’m removing “The Technopian” part of “Nathan Snell” form the title. That means this blog will just be “Nathan Snell’s Blog.” The goal of this isn’t ego driven, such as really pushing home whose blog it is. I’m changing the name for 3 primary reasons:
    1. I was trying to coin the phrase “Technopian”. It was [...]

    Web 2.0 – The new arena of spectator sports

    I decided to become a corporate raider when I was 13. Being a corporate raider, I thought, would allow me to do something more realistic than something like being a professional athlete, while still having people watch me duke it out in business land.
    I first heard the term “corporate raider” from Jax who was a [...]

    An additional topic to blog about.

    While not entirely a result of how I’ve been thinking about my blogging purpose, I feel it’s time to share something a little more serious. At least I think it’s serious, and that’s probably because of how important it is to me:
    My relationship with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
    I’ve written a lot [...]

    HOW TO: Use Twitter like a Pro

    There’s a lot of different ways to use twitter, and a lot of services out there that work in conjunction with Twitter that most people don’t know about it. Because Twitter was built on the concept of simplicity, these services aren’t included with Twitter by default. It’s the combination of these services that helps turn [...]

    You can see again!

    Sorry, everyone. I was playing around with integrating Facebook Connect Comments with my blog and because I was too lazy to do my scripting in textmate, I was doing it through wordpress (not a good idea). Well, that lead to me accidentally overwriting my entire stylesheet. Except I didn’t think that’s all I did because [...]

    Why do you blog?

    When I began blogging over 3 years ago I had a different purpose in mind, and I could define it. Now, not so much. So I need to redefine my purpose for blogging. At least when I wonder why I haven’t been blogging lately I think this is what I need to do.

    From startup to firm

    To everyone who took the time to e-mail me best wishes and lend help after I was laid off, many thanks! I appreciate all of you, those who just gave me an encouraging word, those who sent me some contract work when I was first laid off to help with some of the bills, and [...]
