I have a deep and abiding respect for a good, well-researched rant. And so today I bring you When Good Interfaces Go Crufty, an excellent discussion of the stupid decisions that went into the GUIs we know and love (?). Funny, though, it doesn't mention the Mac OS oddity of … [Read more...] about GUIs gone wrong

Only 49,200 to go
Hmm. Yesterday's total was actually a little over a hundred, now that I've typed it up. Along with today's work, I have exactly 800. Yay, only 49,200 to go! … [Read more...] about Only 49,200 to go
Woman faces death to own Tori Amos CD, film at 10
Maybe it's the fact that we have sunshine for the first time in about two weeks. I dunno, but people are stooopid today. I nearly got hit by about five careening cars in parking lots during lunch, and as I tried to leave Jack in the Box a car full of hyper teenage males decided … [Read more...] about Woman faces death to own Tori Amos CD, film at 10
Fanfic?!
Things have been slow. Last Thursday I wrote 10 pages – fanfic, of all things. I haven't written junk like that since I was a freshman in high school. Argh.

Liad; Leviticus and Dr. Laura
I know I haven't posted much lately. I plead book insanity -I've been reading the Liaden Universe series, and I'm moving on the short stories. Anyway, today I bring you Leviticus and Dr. Laura. Gotta love Leviticus. … [Read more...] about Liad; Leviticus and Dr. Laura

People need context
700-ish words on Sunday and 500 words last night – a minor breakthrough, I think, and not just because it's the first thing I've written in a while, but because it provided a key bit of worldbuilding. I owe both tidbits to the Liaden Universe books, which I devoured last … [Read more...] about People need context
