THE DREAM IN ACTION

I’d like to start using one blog for all of my posts. I’d like the videos and pictures from http://ryangraves.org to go to the same blog that I write more thoughtful posts, like yesterdays on Job titles and recruiting. I see no reason to split them up. Because I have friends at Posterous and it [...]

Recently, the fact that I have a semi-successful blog has caught wind around my office. I was asked this week to answer a few questions on blogging that will be used in some presentation about why we should be using blogs for communication in the corp world. I hope the presentation reaches some people, but [...]

This blog post is not meant to be insightful or meant to share an opinion on any particular topics. It’s sole intent is to ask you your opinion. I have a question. Is the casual style of writing that comes along with blogging a good thing or a bad thing for society? Some times I [...]

Today marks 2 years of blogging. I started out on ActionsTalk.com, then I was on RyanAGraves.com, now I’m on the URL THE DREAM IN ACTION.com. I thoroughly enjoy the process and have learned a lot in the process. This site gets about 3,000 unique readers a month which, in my eyes, with all the changes [...]

Updated Image: I snapped this gem in a public square in Sodermalm, Stockholm. I honestly thought it was Bruno for a minute, then realized it was just a cheap, but hilarious, imitation. It’s all about ‘exposure’. The Hidden Secret of Successful Blogging As you probably know, building a real following or reader base on your [...]

via mario.nolla I’m now working on startup numero 3. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the process but I’ve not really enjoyed the process, yet. As in, I’ve not made it. I’ve yet to create anything that was sell-able, sustainable, or strong enough to go full time on. So, I decided to make a list for myself of [...]

Music is not something I’ve ever really blogged about. I’m not super critical with music because I find that I have a different emotional reaction to different kinds of music, I enjoy that. I’ve recently been inspired and more specific with which music I want to hear. At the same time as I’ve started to [...]

This is my first post using WordPress 2.7. The newest version has gotten a lot of press recently because of the completely different backend layout. Many bloggers are complaining that they’ll have to learn a new workflow to blog posts and won’t be able to find things…to that I say “get over it” and “don’t [...]

Today was awesome. I had a productive day at work, I started early (about 6:50am), got to work on some video editing which was fun, got news about a potential stint in Paris, and left a hair before 5 (always nice). Then when I came home I realized that it was an awesome “social media [...]

I set a goal a while back to get 100 people to my blog in a single day and I’d like to thank all of you for helping me get there! I encourage you to use comments and let me know how I can continue to improve Ryan A Graves.com. This is cool!  

  Many of you like using Friendfeed to aggregate your internet activities and share those activities with friends and followers on the web. Sweetcron (that a came across from Dave McClure’s FF) is very similar to Friendfeed in the sense that it will aggregate any web activity that you decide to share with your Sweetcron, [...]

Recently I’ve become some what of an evangelist for “most” thing tech. I find value in the technologies that I use (that’s why I use them) and I try and share that value with the people around me. Blogs for example: My Dad was a journalism major and is a phenomenal writer and I’ve encouraged [...]

I have no money and my site doesn’t have a enough traffic to pay for it…but both of those things will come with time.With that said, I’m looking for some help in these following areas on my blog. If you’d be willing to help I’d be very grateful! Just shoot me an email at graves.ryan [...]
