Word of the Day: Actionate
ac·tion·ate [ak-shuhn-nit]
adjective
- A passion to act, driven by strong emotion, that is often considered by your more cerebral and dis-actionate kin to be extremely foolhardy.
- A characteristic assigned to saints, sinners, some bloggers and most entrepreneurs.
Usage: “Though many people express the desire when going through the blog action day sign-up list, most were not quite as actionate as they might have proclaimed.”

Hi Shane-and-Peter! (I always run your names together in my mind – kind of like with married couples.)
Thanks for the shoutout – you’ve got a really great roundup here. I certainly never mind being right next to Trent on any list.
As usual, awesome blog. Really great stuff.
Hi Shane! Thanks so much for the link!
Nice Naomi, thinking about having the next word be “Shaynapeter” – tranvestite web 2.0 rubics cube designed to alter the future so as homoginize ground squirrels
Peter, I think you’ve got something there, although you might need be more specific. I mean, that’s a pretty generalized definition, don’t you think?
haha.. Julie often calls him the other woman. I keep trying to tell her that even when Peter & I sleep in the same room, nothing ever happens. Except for the back rubs. and long late night talk about our emotions.
Hi Shane,
I hope you are doing well! I just switched hosting companies the other day so I could finally get my Permalinks working. Of course that means my old “ugly” links no longer work…
Could I ask you a huge favor to please update my link to: http://wahwebmommy.com/2007/10/15/blog-action-day-the-environment/
Thanks in advance!
