Dec. 4, #FollowFriday
I've actually done #FollowFriday posts on my pinko commie hippie friends before, but there are a couple I was holding off on because they had a big new project forthcoming and I wanted to have the chance to suggest a FollowFriday for that, as well.Well, now I'm a little behind the times and their new project has already taken off: Simple Earth Media.First, the men behind it:• TwilightEarth: Adam Shake is not your typical commie tree hugger. A former military man, he worked for the Department of Homeland Security for years. He's the founder of the site Twilight Earth, "dedicated to saving the Environment through shared News, Discussion, Advocacy and Activism." He's really an interesting guy to sit down and have a convo with. • SeanDaily: Another earth-lover who's doesn't quite meet the stereotypes, Sean Daily is a martial artist. As well as a dad, podcaster and a bunch of other stuff. My favorite part of his Twitter bio is the first word: "Snarkasm." That all sums him up pretty well. He brought Green Living Ideas and Blue Living Ideas into the equation, among others.Neither of these gentlemen are vegetarians, which I can appreciate as an avowed carnivore myself. Not that I don't like vegetarians, but it freaks me out a little bit when I meet people who don't eat bacon, but that's another story for another day. You can follow the whole network at SimplEarthMedia and check out all their different properties, which include Derek Markham's Natural Papa (I've #FF'd Derek on a previous Friday). Basically, if you have any interest at all in environmental news, you'll probably want to check them out.I met Adam and Sean at Blog World and had a nice lunch with them and Jerry James Stone (he who floats above the grass and is vegetarian, as mentioned in a previous #FF). Frankly, it was based mostly on that and having chatted with both online from time to time since that I wanted to #FF them and help boost their new venture. They're good people, and good people deserve good words.As usual, please leave your suggestions for people you think I should follow in the comments!
