I started a new writing project today. I took a stroll on the roof and realized my thinking very insular. Usually a walk on the roof helps clear them out, but with my head digging into a new manuscript, it is hard to get out. Perhaps this is just recast it will be until I [...]
I have done some serious scrubbing of my hard drive and have determined to be much more organized in my filing. In part to motivate myself and in part to constrain myself to keep only what is useful, I have given myself a new desktop.
Ebook’s from the library to take with you. We are finally getting there. Below is a process for getting library books onto your iphone/ipad. So you can check ebooks out from your library and take them with you where ever you go. Kind of like physical books, right?
Here’s what you’ll need to get started:
An iPhone [...]
Somewhere, in all probability, I know there are two hedgehogs canoodling.
I do not have to see them to know that they are there. By their very existence and nature, hedgehogs have created the conditions such that right now I know two are canoodling. It is similar to the black swan: for years it was [...]

The problem of what to read next is one I, like most I am sure, have on a frequent basis. Piles of books dominate my small apartment, but sometimes I just can’t seem to find something I want to read in them. All of them I want to read, or read again, that is why [...]
