This week on the People and Blogs series we have an interview with David Cain, whose blog can be found at raptitude.com. I’m a Canadian blogger and entrepreneur. I started doing this back when I was in a totally different line of work. I was a surveyor for an engineering company, and where I live the industry slows down in the winter because of the harsh cold, so I began poking around on the internet a little more than usual. That led to discovering blogs, and the possibility of doing that for a living. I had always been into writing, so having a way to publish my thoughts and for interested parties to read them and care was a revelation. That was 2008 or so, when the internet was a very different place. Social media was a niche and nerdy thing, big companies had no idea how to use the internet, and we were not all algorithmized. I miss that time.
