From a New year, comes a new site.
By now, my dad is passing around a small business card with this site's URL and instructions on how to subscribe by email. Some of you at my cousin Paul's annual New Year's party in San Leandro are probably reading this message right now. Leticia and I are sorry we can't be there with you all, but it was wonderful seeing you during the Christmas holiday.
Why are Leticia and I publishing this site? Well... It goes something like this:
My blog is/was an experiment in trying to develop a site that was "perso/professional" in nature. During its (to-date) six years of publication, though, a funny thing happened.
I expected that the problem, if any, was going to be that my more PR- and business-minded readers
would reject the "perso" part of the "perso/professional" site. To tell you the truth, that never happened.
More often, though, friends and relatives would say something like "I don't understand half the things you're talking about on your blog!" This was usually followed by "And what is 'public relations' anyway?"
More than one relative, despite frequent cajoling, was scared to leave a comment. "Don't you do business here?"
So, here we are. My blog at philgomes.com will be steering a bit more professionally over the coming months. Nevertheless, you'll be able to see the most recent posts from that blog on the left-side margin of this page.
youjustdontget.us is a place where friends and relatives can follow what Leticia and I have been up to and, more frequently, see the links on the web that we find the most interesting.
Hey... It beats getting those silly forwarded emails, right?
