Supposedly in 24 to 72 hours my book will appear on the Kindle site. I had to scramble to make a book cover so that it had something to show when it listed it.
The publishing process itself wasn’t so bad. I had to take the book which I have written in Apple’s Pages, export it [...]
OK so I published my book…Urtaru…on Kindle
Firefox -> Minefield
So I’m playing with Minefield, an alpha version of Firefox this evening. This thing SCREAMS. I’ve tried the WSJ, QuickBase and My Yahoo. It is alpha code and doesn’t have a lot of compatible plug-ins or a flash player. But it renders grid edit in QuickBase really fast. It does have some flaws (I’m using [...]

My Guitars…
I enjoy playing the guitar. I do not play with the skill of Eric Clapton. I can’t play lead for beans. There’s a certain element of bounded creativity to play lead that I just don’t get. It never sounds right to me, no matter what sound effects I use. I can memorize the licks, so [...]
My new 15″ MacBook Pro…Review
The powerbook was feeling its years, and I’m now a happy new owner of the new MacBook pro 15″. Yes the new one that Steve presented the other day. I purchased it last night and brought it home. They hadn’t even put them out on display yet. Spent most of the evening migrating my [...]
Did something weird happen on WordPress this evening?
All the formatting on my my blog and on the dashboard pages is looking weird
A small excerpt from my book…
OK so I finished my science fiction novel just before starting school again. 348 pages. I spread these kinds of explanatory reference chapters throughout the book so that people can understand what’s going on. They are to be read as if from a future text written to explain these times. Given the limitations of the [...]
QuickBase Tricks I know…
So I’ve written a little blog entry about a cool feature of QuickBase and I thought I share on the QuickBase Blog
I have an awesome job and I’m pretty sure I’m riding the crest of a wave with the Platform as a Service concept.
A turn of a word…
Sometimes Peggy Noonan can draw a picture that is so pillowy and soft about the Reagan years I feel like I’m moving lightly amongst the clouds when I am reading it. I don’t remember the time with those same ethereal feelings, but somehow her words float by like billowing cumulus clouds with wispy cirrus tails…
On [...]
So who is really qualified to be a president…
Nobody. No one is prepared to be President. I’m going to lay it on the line. Unless some financial or sexual scandal pops up, I’m voting for Obama for reasons that I’ve outlined before in this blog. Much as I agree with McCain politically (aka mostly conservative, jump across the aisle to fix specific problems), [...]
