Beginnings

I stumbled across this photo this evening as I was trying to find something else.

This is a picture of the first room I rented in this building. It is a reminder to me of how nice the room was. I emphasize the word was.

Motivated Writer

After finishing “How Firm a Foundation” by David Weber I find myself incredibly motivated to write. I was curious about when the next book would come out and so I went to David’s website.

On the front page was a post explaining that David is busy writing the 6th book of the Safehold series and in addition to that, he also has a Twitter account and he’s tweeting updates.

I suppose that after seeing that David is already hard at work on his next book shows me that I need to be hard at work on my screenplay.

Thanks David.

The Accident

Just happened in front of our building…

Minor injuries except the hedge and the stop sign were toast.

Another Mess. Please Excuse.

I have changed back to my old trusty WordPress Theme but not without problems.

A whole lot of stuff needs to be reconfigured. I mean. Really? Who needs to update a damn theme?

I am tired of updates, especially security updates. Why? It tells me that you have no fu**ing idea how to fix your problem. The more security updates you push, the less you understand the problem. If you understood the problem and knew how to stop it…well…you get the idea.

Ok. I’m done now.

Happy Birthday Mom!

My mother is $% years young today.

She is in Florida. I am in Pennsylvania.

Not difficult to see who the smarter one is.

A Life Online

Do not live your life online.

If you do, you are doing it wrong.

The time you spend messaging, texting, or posting on Facebook or Twitter could be time better spent with someone you love. Who deserves the attention more?

I would tend to think your real flesh and blood loved ones do.

I can say this because it’s my blog and I’ll write what I damn well please.

That is all.

Weekend Update

First, I’d like wish my friend Tabitha a very happy birthday!

Now, some stories from my Instapaper that I found interesting this week.

Social workers tend to have more ethics problems personally than most.

Louis C.K. knows how to market himself.

Notice how the articles so far come from GigaOm? Yeah, me neither.

20 New Year’s Resolutions for folks who are twenty-something.

Fruit Ninja Cat.

That’s all I got for right now.

I’ll be devoting most of my free time to meeting an April 30th deadline for the warehouse movie that John Miller and I have been working on and off on for about 2 years. Wheels are in motion and it looks like this thing might actually happen.

My New ZaggFolio Case for iPad2

This is the first article that I have written with my new iPad 2 case and my first impressions are…

…wow.

I like the sleek design of the Zagg Folio case.

A piece of paper that comes with it describes that I may only need to charge my keyboard “a few times a year.” Say what?

This thing is awsome and I can easily see why I may end up using the iPad for writing much more than my iMac.

The keyboard is built right into the case and while these types of things have been out for a while now, it was Harry McCracken’s article in Technologizer that tipped the scales towards Zagg for me.

I’ve had this thing for only an hour and I have already learned a couple of new things about Blogsy.

A case like this one isn’t for everyone with an iPad. It’s better suited towards those folks who plan to do a fair bit of writing with their iPad.

All the links you need about the case can be gotten from the Technologizer article that I linked to previously.
