Ok so I think it’s pretty clear that I’m on … leave… regarding dougmeade.com.
I will eventually get back to it.
I’ve SOOOOOOoooo much going on right now I just don’t have time to blog.
Many of you are here to keep up with the latest happening with Ethan.

So as you probably know… per my last post that I have started a new cigar related blog.
I have some geeky news on that front.
Since it’s not really cigar related… I thought I’d post it here.
I put Stogiecast.com on the “2000 bloggers” list.
Which, if you can believe it, is a list of 2000 bloggers.
And it’s in there.
They have a cool little app that shows a picture for each of the 2000 sites.. but that takes to damn long to load so here’s a text version. 
REMOVED… turns out this cool little project is a pretty bad idea from an SEO standpoint.
Hi folks…
Some news worth reporting for anyone that follows the cigar related posts here.
I have started a new blog specific to cigars.
It’s called “Stogie Cast” and you can find it at stogiecast.com
From now on I’ll be posting my cigar related posts there.
Occasionally I’ll post a link to one of them here.
Here’s the first such occasion.
This post is pretty interesting pertaining to a very high profile cigar company.
CAO Bought out?!
“Cigar Aficionado is reporting that CAO cigars has been bought out!
For better or worse CAO is a very strong brand in the cigar world and I find this news a little discomforting.
Even if you’re not a fan of their cigars (I happen to be pretty big fan myself) you have to admit that the company’s hip marketing has elevated the industry to some degree.
People often talk about the cigar boon in the mid 1990s as a mixed blessing.
It brought new life to the industry, but also strained supplies.
Manufactures rushed to meet demand and thus quality of the cigars fell as tobacco was used before it would normally have been.
(or so goes the story)
Waves of “no name†brands entered the market… and were dead and gone by 1998.“
ok Taylor this is for you.
Last night was the season opener of 24 - the greatest TV show of all time.
I was cautiously optimistic about this season.The caution stemming from my ever growing amazement that they are always able to dream up another day from hell for Jack Bauer that I could accept.
They did not disappoint.
As the season begins the confident and aggressive Jack Bauer is a completely different man. Defeated, indifferent, and hopeless. A truly different way to start things off for the show.
And although Jack has apparently spent 20 months being tortured in the depths of some Chinese prison … the rest of the crew seems to have done all right for themselves.
Chloe’s Ex-Husband is back at CTU and they seem to be rekindling something.
Buchanan ended up marrying the woman that tried to take his job last season.
And David Palmer’s little brother is now the President.
But to be honest none of “those” people matter much.
They could have done anything to those characters and I still would have been sold on this season the moment they had Jack Bauer BITE A MAN TO DEATH!
Two hours of heart stopping 24 action.
And there’s another two hours tonight.
I can’t wait.
God bless America… and God bless Jack Bauer.
Well hello there everyone.
Sorry for the long delay.
The good news is that I am finally getting the photos updated.
I’ve decided to use a service called “Flikr” to host our photos.
So far I am very impressed with the service.
I don’t have a lot added yet - and there is some clean up work yet to be done - but at long last there is light at the end of the tunnel.
I’ve also started the process of integrating the flikr service into my site here so that the experience is seamless for you, my beloved visitors.
Here’s the link to what will eventually be the DougMeade.com photo section.
Please keep in mind that at the time of this writing there is MUCH left to do.
The actual look & feel of the photo section isn’t at all close to done yet.
Also there aren’t a great many photos available.
But in due time we’ll get everything moved over.
Until then I will at least do my best to keep the most recent photos updated in a timely fashion.
