By Bruce A. Love
Over the past 5 years I have enjoyed writing about business and technology issues and sharing information with the readers of the Altoona Mirror. I have appreciated the questions, comments, and kind words expressed by many readers, and I’ve especially enjoyed hearing from those who were able to make good use of information presented in my columns. And so, it is with mixed feelings that I bring this column to a close.
Throughout my career, I have changed directions many times – sometimes intentionally, sometimes unintentionally. The truth is, I enjoy changing gears and trying new things and going in completely different directions from time to time. I want to experience it all and staying in one place too long takes time away from trying something new. After five years and approximately 200 columns, it’s time for me to leave newsprint and seriously explore the blogosphere!
Blogs are the heart and soul of what many call the “new media.” Some blogs are merely personal spaces on the Web where individuals express opinions or exchange information about a favorite hobby; others are tools that technologists use to help each other understand and develop solutions to complex problems. Still other blogs are forums for expressing views about the economy, the environment, or other important and controversial topics.
Political changes are on the horizon and there is so much to write about. Unfortunately, a lot of what I want to say would not be appropriate for this column on business and technology. I want to write about politicians calling their constituents “rednecks” and “racists.” I want to write about Hollywood and media elitists who attack the average “Joe” for expressing his opinions. I want to dig for the truth in news stories and help to expose the lies and deceptions we often hear about from “trusted” news sources. With my own blog, I alone am responsible for the content and tone, and I won’t have to worry about putting anyone else in the awkward position of defending my views. Bring it on!
My blog is called “Love Lines,” and is located at blog.loveconsulting.com. Currently, it only displays columns that have appeared in the newspaper (plus one that didn’t). Collectively, these columns serve as a nice resource for anyone wanting to start a business, those already in businesses, and anyone who wants to know more about personal computers and online resources. The columns are searchable by subject or by date. I will continue to post similar columns online, but my primary focus will be to voice opinions about edgier topics, like politics. I welcome any Altoona Mirror reader to visit me on Love Lines and express their views on any posted topic, including this column!
I am grateful to have had the opportunity to write for the Altoona Mirror. The experience has allowed me to sharpen my writing skills and meet some really interesting people. I particularly want to thank Ray Eckenrode, Executive Editor for the Altoona Mirror, who gave me my start at the Mirror, and the editors who helped me adapt to the AP style of writing. Most of all, I thank you, the readers! I look forward to continuing our exchange of ideas in the blogosphere.

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
