About

January 29, 2010

Friends and family call me Vincent, Vince, Vinny or Vin. But since 1995 I’ve been known online simply as Vingold.

This Blog

This particular blog has had several incarnations going back to the last few years. At different times I’ve blogged about all things political, educational, and media related. I’ve also thrown in way too many anecdotes that haven’t been at all interesting once I read them a second time.

In late 2007 I did a major overhaul. I moved the blog from MovableType to Wordpress. I found a few themes I liked and combined them and customized them into what exists today. And I deleted boat loads of old posts that just didn’t seem relevant or interesting anymore. The posts I did keep I consider the “best of the best” even if some of them are mediocre.

Throughout 2010 it is my intention to devote a lot more time to this blog.

My Endeavors

In addition to having a few dozen web properties, I am a full-time real estate professional and builder.

At any given time in the year I am helping two or three people at a time to buy or sell a house. And I’m likely to have two or three houses under construction or being rehabbed.

Additionally, I work as a part-time cost analyst for a professional services firm that services the telecommunications industy.

Whenever an exciting project pops up, I team up with other like-minded freelancers and part-timers and together we knock it out. While we’re multi-talented, most of our consulting work is in the area of business analysis, content development, marketing and process improvement.

Locally, I volunteer with the Anne Arundel County Literacy Council.

Just got done reading your article on the 4-hour work week over at SEOmoz.

Excellent stuff. Was surprised that you’re actually in the real-estate business. You have a second-calling as a writer.

Cheers,
Dharmesh

Vin -

I really enjoyed your 4-hour week review, ended up writing a blog post about it over on our pre-launch site: http://promote-my-site.com/component/option,com_mojo/Itemid,31/p,24/.

Hi Vincent,

Thats a great article on SEO that you wrote recently. I’d like to invite you as a guess author on my site http://www.semhints.com and of course I’d include links to sites of your choosing either within the content or bio.

I thought the article might have been the usual SEO stuff but it was definitely insightful to read. Thanks

Eric

Interesting to see someone in the real estate market. I recently got someone asking me for a proposal in that business. Any chance I could get some tips/reference from you?

Cheers
Gab
