Writing skills have a fairly predictable path. In the beginning we’re really not good at it. Oh we can get words on paper and our sentences are usually complete, but we tend to be awkward and far less than smooth. With practice and maybe the luck of finding a few good editors, our confidence increases, […]
I was poking around some blogs this morning and came upon FreelanceSwitch’s post called: A Simple Follow Up Formula
There author Ilise Benun makes the point that a generic follow up can be worse than none at all. She then goes on to provide a three-step formula that pretty much guarantees your follow up will be […]
Boss Hatch, a fairly new blog at b5media is dedicated to the younger business person. A couple of months ago, blogger Jim Gorden created a post called: da fate of gud grammer
It’s a nifty rant about how written language may be deteriorating among the young. My hunch is his example is a pretty good example […]
Thanks to Joe Wikert and his pointer to Kevin Kelly’s post called Better Than Free. For those of you who don’t know, Kelly has been a leader in all things ‘net for years. I first knew of him through The Well, the original online community when he was also associated with Stewart Brand’s Whole Earth […]
It’s been years since I’ve had a separate room for an office. That’s largely because I’ve chosen to live a fairly alternative lifestyle. For example, I spent 16 years aboard a wee houseboat in Sausalito in a community of artists and waterfront workers called Galilee Harbor. No office there, just a desk that looked out […]
If you follow this blog, you know I’ve been moving. I don’t know why our major telcos have so much trouble moving me 12 miles south, but the did, and it’s not the first time. So when b5media started having outages I assumed it was at my end. Isn’t that the usual way we […]
Wikipedia is a relatively new phenomena, and it can be a wonderful resource on an amazing number of topics.
Part of the draw of the Wiki is that, in theory, they are editable by the masses. The idea is to create truly collaborative work. Many, including me, find figuring editing anything but straight forward.

Okay, I’ll brag. My 2007 taxes are done! I do use an accountant, but since I’ve added Quicken, it gets easier and easier. I might even try this myself next year.
Kelly Phillips is our TaxGirl here at b5 and she’s got a great post about the differences in tax software. It’s worth of read even […]
Is it possible to get organized painlessly? I think so, but I needed some help. That help came from Jennifer Hoffman. I met her through one of Mark Silver’s seminars where she literally held me and made me know that I didn’t have to sort out making my office effective alone. We healed a huge […]
Lori Widmer who blogs at Words on the Page, waxes a bit nostalgic as she remembers finding writing work when the ‘net was new. It’s all a way of introducing her new series about finding writing work and marketing yourself.
The first post is Marketing 101: Finding the Clients and it’s definitely worth a read, maybe […]
