Tony is making it happen.

Last night Tony called to inform me that he was given a shout-out by Paul Kimball. Awesome! Tony has been blogging every day now for about two months and I am very proud of his networking skills, his dedication, etc. I'm also beginning to find his open-mindedness to be one of his most attractive qualities that for the past three years I have somehow overlooked. To commemorate Tony's awesome day I took a screen shot of the shout-out to save.

Within the shout-out Tony was compared to none other than the late Mac Tonnies (that's a huge compliment). Mac Tonnies was creative, very intelligent, as well as handsome. I unfortunately missed the Mac Tonnies train but am catching up by rereading his blog over and over again (Posthuman Blues), listening to any podcast/youtube video I can get my hands on, and slowly reading one of his books that my boyfriend ingeniously ordered. One day I would like to get my hands on a hard-copy of his short stories but I can't fork up a hundred dollars yet (it's out of print which is why it costs so much). I have been finding myself thinking and speculating about Mac Tonnies a lot lately and I'm not sure why-the catalyst was a blurb from the memorial podcast where Kimball talked about Mac Tonnies sleeping in the nude.

Anyways, Tony is awesome for:
-his dedication
-his networking skills
-his humor and wide range of topics within his blog posts
-AND his rising skill with grammar.

SO you should most definitely hit up http://forteania.blogspot.com/
