  • New Technique for Shooting the Videos

    So after yesterdays debacle with post-production on THE WRITING CRAFT: How To Motivate Yourself, I had two choices. I could either go back in and do exactly the same work I did yesterday today. Or I could figure out a different way of producing the work in the first place that wouldn’t require three hours…

  • I HATE computers

    I just lost three hours of editing on Section 1 of THE WRITING CRAFT: How To Motivate Yourself. Application crashed. All gone. I still have the original recording. Now I get to do all the video cutting and resizing and retaping of stuff that I messed up the first time AGAIN. Argh. (NOTE: This is…

  • Think Sideways Is Up and Running

    I’m posting this a lot of places, because there’s one issue that I hadn’t counted on when shutting down the course so we could do upgrades. The new version requires members to check a box to receive critical e-mail updates (which is good, and will make my site host much happier)—BUT NO ONE has clicked…

  • A Tale Of Two ISPs, (or… As You Don’t Like It Very Much)

    Short version… we moved. That might be enough information right there to explain my extended absence, the dead weblog, the missing newsletter, my MIA status on the Think Sideways boards.

  • The Sad Truth of Voter Fraud

I was watching the tallies pretty carefully, and while the numbers changed, the percentages…

  • Stuck

    I hit a wall yesterday on THE SILVER DOOR. I’m in the process of getting unstuck. You can watch me getting unstuck (using Inspiration) here: http://onemorewordbooks.com

  • My site was cracked this morning

    The affiliate program, iDevAffiliate, one of the worst-supported pieces of software in human history, was cracked, and a phishing scam was inserted into a hidden file that directed people to what appeared to be a Skype website. I deleted the phishing scam, but because iDevAffiliate does not support their software, I also deleted the affiliate…

  • Cool Tech

    http://www.hothardware.com/Articles/Hands_on_with_the_ASUS_Eee/ A couple of times on your site, you’ve mentioned the usefulness of things like the BlackBerry. Being able to write your ideas down wherever you are, whenever you get them. I stumbled upon this little gizmo on some forum, can’t recall which, but it seems to do a hell of a lot better than…

  • Literature Map

    Had never seen the literature map before. I thought it was pretty cool.
