I’ve opted against doing NaNoWriMo this year, primarily because I’m trying to focus my attention on redoing the marketing materials for Dreamsbay this month. As a result, my writing lately has really dropped off. Sorry about that. Most of that energy in the immediate future will be funneled into getting a new Inkblots ready for […]

So I’m spending a big, huge chunk of today so far testing the feasibility of Magellan. I’m using my account on Nick’s dual G4, which has three displays like my mental sketch of Magellan, and experimenting with the applications I’m planning on using as my main components – namely, iCal, Safari, Quicken, OmniOutliner and Mail. […]

I’m a little behind on this one, but it’s still worth reading: Philip Pullman, author of the astonishingly good “His Dark Materials” series, published a New York Times editorial called Why I Don’t Believe in Ghosts on Halloween which is both entertaining and of high value to those of us still stuck in the clench […]

So, in preparations for Wednesday’s release of Revolutions, I’m rewatching The Matrix: Reloaded. It really is better the second time around. Definitely worth doing for cramming purposes.

Wow. Last week was a busy one for me, workwise. Hot on the heels of Kate Erin Photography come three little one-pagers for Sound Advice, bobcaldwellvo.com, lynnemagnavite.com and philobrien.com. And, drumroll please, three straight nights of working until the wee, wee hours of the morning have finally paid off: broadreachhealthcare.com hit the web yesterday morning. […]

Let me tell you, Halloween night in New York City is a trip. The Big Apple is full of freaks, geeks and weirdos as it is, and on Halloween night they all come out to play. We didn’t make it down to see the parade, as Kate insisted that it was just too terrifying (whatever), […]

In this morning’s New York Times, we find Economy Grew at 7.2% Rate in 3rd Quarter, Fastest Pace Since 1984. A list of important stats for quick analysis: The increase in the GDP for July-September, the 7.2% in the title, was more than double the 3.3% increase reported in the 2nd quarter Analysts were only […]

The New York Times has a great article today called Youthful Attitudes, Sobering Realities, which is all about the way that the current 20-to-34 set (that would be me, thanks) tends to think about careers. Basically, all of the pooh-poohing and self-congratulatory cackling that some economists and sociologists made against Dan Pink’s Free Agent Nation […]

Just got back from the dentist for my one-week postop appointment. Apparently I’m healing nicely, have no sign of dry sockets (praise Jesus) and am well on the road to recovery. Rock and roll. Now to figure out how to catch up for the lost time, and properly grovel before a friend for dropping the […]

Ladies and gentlemen, I’m pleased to announce the launch of kateerinphoto.com, the online home of Kate Erin Photography. My girlfriend takes beautiful portraits – you should hire her. Really. (And no, this isn’t the client project I posted about a couple of days ago. That’s coming later this week.)
