I’ve been teasing this announcement for ages, and while I don’t feel 100 percent ready, the way I do things I would probably never feel completely ready, so I’m biting the bullet and introducing my two newest blogs: RememberingChristmas.com and FunJug.com.

FunJug.com

FunJug.com is my first ever time purchasing a site started by someone else, and while I’ve had it for a few months now, its felt a built like buying used clothes.  They don’t fit at first and you’re trying to figure out if they really ever will.  All that being said, I think I’m finally getting a handle on the site, so I’m ready to add it officially to my stable of sites that everyone knows about.

The site is all about wasting time with fun tidbits I find around the Web (which is actually the most difficult part as I didn’t calculate in the time it would take finding the funny stuff!) from videos to photos.  Some of it is NSFW (Not Safe For Work for those unfamiliar with the term), but I always make sure to mark those with a warning.

You won’t ever see me writing my usual diatribes on this site, it is all about having fun, letting off steam and winding down at the end of the day.  If you happen to find something you think would be a good fit for the site, feel free to send me a tip about it!

Make sure to subscribe to the FunJug RSS feed to have the funny stuff just delivered to you.

RememberingChristmas.com

RememberingChristmas.com is about … can you guess? … anything and everything to do with Christmas!  I’ll actually let the About page from the site explain this one:

RememberingChristmas.com is all about a love of a holiday that has come to represent so much more than just a religious holiday, but a time for family and friends come together and share a special time together at least once a year.

As a family that has worked in various forms of retail since our earliest years (Sean started working at age 8 off-and-on in retail, and was responsible for some purchasing by age 11), it has been hard some times for us to maintain the Christmas spirit during that specific time of the year.  As a family, we long ago decided to celebrate Christmas through out the year with at least one Christmas tree up on our house at all times.  We decided that perhaps we weren’t the only people in a similar situation, so we decided to help others keep Christmas in their hearts through out the year … without having to have a tree up all year long.  (Have you ever tried ducting a Christmas tree?  Not easy!)

So, won’t you join us?  We are dedicated to bringing you stories of Christmas, free Christmas entertainment, recipes, crafting ideas and a lot more.

This is something we plan on working on year round, it just happened to be December when I finally had time to put the finishing touches on the site.

A big hat tip to Blog Design Studio for creating the theme for us.  They also did the work on SeanPAune.com and StarterTech.com as well as another site we have yet to launch.  (yes, there is another waiting in the wings)  They do great work at reasonable prices, and we highly recommend them.  (and no, I do not make any money from recommending them, I just really like them)

Sean, are you insane?

Yes?

I’ve come to the conclusion that blogging is pretty much going to be my life for the foreseeable future, and these new sites will not be daily postings like my other sites.    I’m looking to diversify from just writing about technology so much, because I fear suffering burnout from constant postings about gadgets, social media and so on.  These will allow me to take a breath every once in a while and still feed my need to write.

I hope you will all check them out at least once, hopefully you’ll find something you like and become regular readers!

Let me know your thoughts!
