The Spurs just completed their pre-season schedule with a record of 2-7. From my disadvantaged point of only being able to see scores and read other writers’ views, I’m not able to carry on an educated discussion. I will base my observations on a general impression that Coach Popovich doesn’t … Continue reading →
Today did not begin well. My watch alarm sounded at 0530 as it does every day. I shut it off. As I do every day. At 0615 I peered at the clock thinking, I need to get up. I don’t do this every day. I’m late, I should be heading … Continue reading →
Lee Goldberg writes about Lewis Perdue‘s new book, The Perfect Killer, and the reader extras he includes–a page-specific online index. I don’t know about you, but I do stuff like this as I’m writing the book anyway. I know Holly Lisle makes a lot of extras available on her site. … Continue reading →
I have an 8 page synopsis of Threads & Ties. My next goal is to convert that to an outline of some sort to guide me through NaNo next month. I’ve wanted to use Inspiration more than I have been since I got it a couple years ago. This morning, … Continue reading →
Thanks to Steph for pointing me in the direction of two Anti-Spam Plug-Ins for WordPress. I installed Bad Behavior yesterday (works on any php-based blogging software, not just WordPress).

It’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it. We show “The Caine Mutiny” (Humphrey Bogart, Fred MacMurray) as a capstone event in our first leadership course. Students are asked to evaluate various parts of the movie in concert with what they’ve learned so far. Some of those areas … Continue reading →
I love to hear “I’ll be back” or “I’ve put you on my favorites” from real readers; however, I hate reading it on comment spam posts. That’s the type of chatty comment spammers write in their comment spam to make the unwary blogger think someone’s actually visited their site and … Continue reading →
I’ll be at the Coast all weekend helping my brother with his house. The plan is to rip out kitchen cabinets, replace sheetrock, clean kitchen cabinets (presuming they are salvageable), and replace same cabinets. He’s trying to decide what to put in for new countertops. He doesn’t think he can … Continue reading →
Something happened last night that made me wonder if there might be such a thing as theme spam. These themes were mostly produced for a design contest earlier this year. Lots of other people design themes and make them freely available. How possible is it that someone might design a … Continue reading →
