“Net Neutrality” is one of those terms we hear from time-to-time. I was reminded of it today when I clicked on WorkBoxers Net Neutrality Links 11-24-2007, but I ended up being more confused than ever.
A search led me to Google’s Guide to Net Neutrality – good start, but the definitions are still squishy. But, […]

I love certain kinds of science fiction. Mostly the old stuff – Asimov, Herbert, early Heinlein. I’m also a fan of Brin, and not only because he lives in San Diego.
I’m delighted b5media.com has added a science fiction blog. Called Sci-Fi Universe and run by Cynthia Boris, it looks interesting. I’m mildly tempted by her […]

One of the things I truly love about freelance writing is my ability to go shopping at 10 a.m. on a Tuesday morning, or maybe just after lunch on Thursday. If you haven’t guessed, I truly dislike traffic and hoards of folks in stores.

Yesterday Amazon launched its much touted Kindle. Called a “wireless reading device” it’s what may be the next step in ebook readers.
What interests me most about this one is the screen. Amazon says: Utilizing a new high-resolution display technology called electronic paper, Kindle provides a crisp black-and-white screen that resembles the appearance and readability of […]

PODdy Mouth - Daily Dirt on POD and Self-Publishing has an interesting post called: The irony of “The Long Tail”
She details some of the hidden or at least obscure costs in self-publishing and talks about how much the long tail actually costs.

You blog and someone posts a negative comment; how do you respond? You submit a chapter to a client and they phone to tell you they love it; how do you respond? After reading your submission, a magazine editor says “maybe, with these changes;” how do you respond?
