Recently my wife and I had the opportunity to take some time off from our busy work schedules back in May to visit family and spend some time disconnected from social media and business contacts. With the amount of work we do its great to just shut down. Sadly, I still had my business cell phone and sales email that I had to check at least once a day, but other than that I was free.

Last week, was an interesting week for me. I finally got my domain and site migration completed. My new domain register and web host is great, but the company left not so much.

You may have noticed that I started posting my Daily Delicous bookmarts that I have saved throughout the day.

I generally bookmark topics based on what I am researching, or site I find on Twitter and Blog Engage. The best way to know when I post more bookmarks is to subscribe to to my feeds.

If you my read blog regularly, you know that I tend to mention Blog Engage and occasionally Blogging Wire in my posts.
