I’m plugging away at taxes
January 31st 2003 at 4:33 pm
I’m plugging away at taxes through HR Block. Thankfully I’ve been keeping good records this and was able to just generate a category list in Quicken to see what income vs loss I’ve had with writing.
I made a little less than what I usually make a year on writing, and pretty much spent all but […]
Well, I emailed Dave Barry

Well, I emailed Dave Barry the Band Name generator link (at least the email on his webpage) for kicks and giggles. I’ll bet he’s going to reply any second now. Holding my breath… turning red. Just kidding, but thanks for the suggest Jon Maybe he might wade through thousands of junk emails and get […]

Automatic Band Name Generator.
That was about 15 minutes gone from my life I’ll never get back.

Well, speaking of John Scalzi, here is a link to some of his writing advice.
No mollycuddling there.
Somewhere else on his site I loved what he said about writing/blogging online. It is becoming so huge, everyone is doing it, and no one is writing original content but linking to everyone else. Pretty soon there will […]

John gave a link in the comments to CD Baby.com which seems like an excellent place to go hunting for CDs that doesn’t support the bad guys. Only problem for me is that CD Baby uses Real Player for its previews, and I refuse to download or install Real Player due to their own immoral […]
In Steve’s latest journal entry

In Steve’s latest journal entry he says he wants to, love the nebula award, hug the award, desire the award.
I’m kidding, of course. Steve (Stephen Leigh) says much the opposite in fact, and like many I know doesn’t like what they’ve come to represent. This includes both old seasoned pros and neopros who won’t […]
In my last novel some
January 29th 2003 at 5:31 pm
In my last novel some Caribbean Basin history, culture, and dialect were something of a focus, and I’ve been casting around for the research I was going to do for the next one. One of the things I’ve been reading up more and more on is economics, and this article about Irreducible Inequality is fascinating.
The […]
Much snow. In keeping with

Much snow. In keeping with the last entry, for some stretches it seemed like the road home was through the South Pole, where the snow on the hills was indistinguishable from the snow on the road. It was a slippery ride home tonight…
I don’t know why, but

I don’t know why, but this article about building a highway to the South Pole keeps popping up in the back of my mind.
Yep, I sense something will come of it. A story, a setting… something.

Check this article out.:
It doesn’t matter if you’ve forsworn Napster, uninstalled Kazaa and now are eagerly padding the record industry’s bottom line by snapping up $15.99 CDs by the cartload.
Be warned–you’re what prosecutors like to think of as an unindicted federal felon.
I’m not joking. A obscure law called the No Electronic Theft (NET) […]
