Damien At The Speed Of Life
Damien at the Speed of Life is self-described as the “Inner monologue of a dreamer.” It’s one of the newer ventures of veteran blogger Damien Riley, who also maintains a blog of psychology and inspiration, and a blog where he uses his skill and experience as a fourth grade teacher to lend tips and tricks and things that work for parents and others important in the lives of kids. This blog was started as a personal diary, and shares much of the same air of insight and helpfulness as his other two, minus, perhaps, the topical restrictions.
Damien At The Speed Of Life - Why You Should Go
Damien Riley has a wide net of expertise, and this blog seems to be a culmination of many of them. It is part ‘get to know you better,’ part inspiration and advice ( guess a teacher can’t really ever get away from that) and part useful review where Damien talks about many of his favorite and most efficient work and time-savers, including Last.fm and Sidebar chat plug-ins. Damien has been researching the blogging field for quite some time, so it is worth a stop in at his blog if for nothing else than to glean his blogging knowledge (including this post where he lists 10 Gripes About Blogs These Days—quite a few of them are right on the mark!).
Summing Up Damien At The Speed Of Life
Damien didn’t need to start another blog, he wanted one that could be “a way to get out of my sometimes confining (though lucrative) niche of psychology and inspiration and have a freeform place to really connect with my readers on a less structured level.” It appears that Speed is fulfilling that goal, and serving as a nice round-out to Damien’s collection.

I was setting up my classroom today hanging paper and getting really worn out when I saw this incoming link in my dashboard. WOW! You really wrote some great stuff about my online diary. Thank you very much indeed.
I hope people get encouraged to read more and maybe start blogging one of their own. I’m available to help. Blogging in an intellectual but visceral hobby that allows you to express yourself to friends new and old. From your writing it seems like you get that. Peace and love. -Damien

Thank you both. I’m glad you enjoyed and approved.
@ Damien, glad I could give you a little pick-me-up. I know from personal experience how much fun endless classroom prep can be (former life as a PreK teacher). I agree with your take on blogging, and it is very gracious of you to offer to help others. This blog is very much in sync with that, as it is Sean’s creation aimed to give back to the wider blogging community.
