- I got my computer back up and running! And guess what...A friend of mine was able to recover data from my hard drive before I reinstalled windows so I didn't lose anything important (the books I'm writing in particular)! So needless to say, I'm pretty happy! So it's time for me to get back to writing on a regular basis. I only took about a week-long break while my computer was out of commission, ...

- Lately I’ve found myself with some serious writing burnout. I think it’s partly that our gorgeous, summery Seattle weather has not been conducive to writing. But it’s also that I’ve been cranking away at the keyboard on the same project for quite some time. And while this is a great way to get a draft down, it’s not always the most inspiring way to work – for me, anyway.So I decided a ...

- Twitter Influence My husband is a professional businessman that has successfully built and expanded his company.I was his secretary and file clerk (many years ago) in our home office before we were introduced to computers. The lack of knowledge with the computer paralyzed me to continue to assist him any further. His love of technology brought him to excel in his skill ...

- So we’ve just had a long weekend. If you live in Seattle, like I do, you were kept in for at least a portion of the weekend by wind and rain — great writing weather. If you live in a sunnier climate (or just wanted to enjoy the holiday weekend, like a normal person), you may not have gotten your writing time in.But I have good news about that: Just because you’re not sitting at the computer ...

- June 7, 2009 Let’s Talk About It My best friend Batman, and me were sitting on the back porch throwing down the buds, and talking. I told him what I thought was going on, about me daughter being on drugs. I told him, cankers have cretin things that they all do, one is talking so fast you can't understand what they are saying because they run their words together. They make dates with ...

- However you slice it, technology is growing exponentially. As technology gains sophistication, its price goes down. In fact, if computerss are graphed, their capacity gains and price reductions since inception would result in a $.03 computer by 2016. Don't believe me? How about those multifunction calculators in a package for birthday parties, averaging $.25 each? I remember when my ...

- Meet the owner of a brand, spanking new iMac computer.Took a good deal of time to work up the nerve to upgrade from my old, old, OLD Mac but, I have to say, I'm stunned by what this new beauty can do. This is all part of the process of addressing some of that sense of stagnation I reported feeling in a previous entry. Like I'm spinning my tires, artistically speaking. I want to try making ...

- Chapter Three, Part “1”The science of computer engineering was never an area of interest to me. I knew an anode from a diode, but that was the extent of my understanding. Rachel explained her three dimensional integrated circuitry, her custom designed dielectric insulator chips and several more of her ...

- I've always loved pens. I used to keep a journal, and aside from its value as an aid to reflection, the physical act of writing in it gave me pleasure. Many people are passionately attached to fountain pens; they're particular about nibs, ink, and paper. But I love all pens, even the cheap ones. At conferences I go for the free ballpoints; I don't care about the tote bags.When I got serious about ...
