Thanks for the link! I firmly believe that you can be very cool, very kickass, and a total dork. (I once hung out with Cory Doctorow for a day in Toronto, before he got all famous. The guy embodies that vibe!)
Dorks unite!

I couldn't have said it better myself! Passion is definitely the key to accomplishing almost anything, including a great blog. I'm glad I listened to my passion when selecting a topic for my blog...It can be tempting to merely go with what will be most profitable in a monetary sense, but often we forget that there are greater benefits to be reaped in life other than money.

No matter what you’re cooking you have to be passionate about it. You can get away with a lack of passion and have things taste okay, but they never taste great.
One of the most important rules in blogging is to write about what you’re passionate about. If there’s no flare for writing about politics, don’t write about politics. Stick to what you’re good at and you’re bound to do great things.

I always thought being a dork was pretty bad-ass too. ;-) Great post and thanks for the link-love.
Don’t judge based on popularity or blind reciprocity, instead make sure they “get it” and just as importantly, that their followers “get it”. More...
