Reading Dear Sour Aaron today brought a lot of thoughts I’ve had lately to a bit of an edge. I am pleased to see that some of the people that I appreciate and read can manage to have a rational viewpoint despite personal hardships, and definite kudos to Sour Bob on that one. […]

Fish farming, as with any farming, requires very unhealthy habits to make it a commercially viable playing field. At least this is the case in the United States. Why? Because we like fatty meat eating fish. We like salmon. We like cod. We would never buy a fish that, […]

William Smith was a passionate man, very smart for his upbringing and an incredible ability to envision the world in 3D. Meanwhile he had little confidence in his writing and always felt an unspoken need to procrastinate.
I love that little tidbit of information because it is a little tiny piece of affirmation that my path […]

She is a fantastic writer, and her website is well worth checking out. Especially if you like her books or want to be a writer. (www.ursulakleguin.com)
There is a great interview with her posted at The Guardian. I think it is much worth reading. I especially liked this bit on talking about […]

I have the utmost respect for Cory Doctorow and his web presence. He is one of the folks involved in boing boing. He has two novels out and a collection of short stories, all of which you can find at craphound.com. His style is very easy to read, and the content reminded […]

She looked like s pseudo-pop star shot down with an 80s fashion gun. Everything on her was a slightly different shade of pink, with a white backdrop making me wonder if she was actually thirteen or just trying to look eighteen.
The fact that her skirt barely covered her read had me guessing closer to […]

Most big companies do their market research and target their markets well. This is part of the way business is done and how certain sneakers have found their way onto feet around the world. Sponsorships with key sports figured always make for good shoe movers, since most young people would like to be […]

I have been sitting in an internet bar looking for a form of interesting auditory substance to support both my reading and writing and happened across a little nugget that I should have noticed much earlier.
6 music from the BBC is truly quite neat. I like the station a lot. All of the […]

I really appreciate musicians who work hard and make a presence online. There’s something about it that I just find really appealing.
Aside from which I like good musicians who make it possible to listen to at least some of what they do while I am here overseas.
Today I followed a link to Terra Naomi’s […]

I find myself never quite encouraged by “encouragement for writers.”
There’s not too much to say. Making a living as a writer sucks. There’s a lot of putting your work (or babies) out to slaughter. That’s a hard way to get by, and if it’s not what folks want, then you […]
