Just before 9/11 I took a job at IBM as a consultant. Consultants make more money than employees, but they don’t have any job security. I did well and was acting team leader. Then the project ended. I have worked on various consulting gigs ever since, each time taking less money because of a poor […]

How Not to format a page
Thursday, April 19, 2007
When I visit a website, I expect to be able to read the text. Ezines are written to be read. If you can’t read the text, the ezine is a total failure. All too often I have to use the mouse to highlight the text in order to read it. What the f is that […]
JJ Abrams Confirms Kirk In Star Trek XI
Thursday, April 19, 2007
There is some information leaking out about Star Trek XI. In the new issue of Star Trek Magazine, JJ Abrams finally breaks his silence….a tiny bit.

It’s a good thing that I am not anal retentive enough to own one of these. Personally, I don’t want to be more accessible. Here’s the best of the […]
Science Fiction Story of the Day
Wednesday, April 18, 2007
I have a bunch of unused spec-fic domains. I’ve been letting them expire, but I held on to ScienceFictional.com. I like the name, but I just can’t figure what to do with it. I let Johnny B use it for a blog for a while. I tried formatting a Spec-Fic magazine, but it was the […]

Monday, April 16, 2007
Jean Goldstrom has started u-publish-on-parade. It’s funny, but I have been kicking around an idea like this for quite a while. Jean beat me to it. The basic idea that I think Jean is pushing is a central place to provide links to and for a community of authors. There are precious few websites that […]
