I learned about Artisteer a couple of days ago. It was advertised as WordPress theme design software. So far, I’ve found free themes and modified them to meet my expectations. I’ve done reasonably well with that approach, but I found it limiting. So, when firegold21 twitted about it, I decided … Continue reading →
I had the opportunity to obtain a free e-book in exchange for writing an honest review. Making the offer even more desirable to me, it was a new book about leadership. I love to read and study leadership, so I signed up. That book is Catapulted by Dave Jennings. I’m … Continue reading →
If I had wanted to invest in AIG, I would have. I really resent that my government is forcing me, as a taxpayer, to invest in an organization I don’t believe is worthy of my investment. I could say the same about many other organizations clamoring for government dollars. I … Continue reading →
I just found a neat Widget for the Mac tonight — iGTD. If you’re using a Mac OS and you’re a fan of GTD (or even if you don’t know much about Getting Things Done), this widget is worth checking out. If you use MS Outlook, you can, with some … Continue reading →
I’m back in town. Got several items of personal business taken care of while I was away. I spent some time working on Twilight rewrites. I’m still working on Scene 17. It’s a Geek chat scene, and I’m trying to make sure it’s from Hilda’s POV. I think I have … Continue reading →
I know I haven’t been saying much here lately, but I did want to let you know I’ll be off-line for a few days — probably until after the first of March. I should have some opportunity to work on revisions during that time, so that’s the good news. I’m … Continue reading →
Where has the month gone? I haven’t been doing anything exciting, but just in case you have been wondering, here’s what’s been up: I’m experiencing a wave of spam. I’ve noticed spam goes in cycles, and this is an up cycle. Akismet does it’s job and catches nearly all of … Continue reading →
I rewrote Scene 11, originally in Pete’s POV to Suzan’s POV yesterday. Originally, he bought a sexy, new convertible and daydreamed about the new intern at work. Much of that had to go when I rewrote it from Suzan’s (his wife’s) POV. She arrived home after a “meeting” and was … Continue reading →
And I note up front that I’m purely an amateur at most things financial, especially the stock market. I “got into” the stock market with mutual funds in January 1997. I used the “big” raise when I got promoted from first lieutenant to captain to fully fund my IRA and … Continue reading →
If you’ve been following my Facebook or Twitter entries, you’re already tired of hearing how crummy I feel, so I won’t bore you with that. Lots of napping, water, tea, and soup are in order. Enough of that. I have a huge pile of papers to shred, so, since I … Continue reading →
