The Geekly Weekly: November 2016
http://www.thegeeklyweekly.com/2016_11_01_archive.html
An ongoing discussion about books, writing, and technology. Tuesday, November 29, 2016. So there we were, Lesley and I, smack in the middle of Kansas, when the Smartphone Wars began. (And let me tell you, there's nothing more middle. Than Kansas. It's about the most middle-est place one can imagine. It's even more middling than Nebraska, if that's possible.) Anyway, as we headed back from Dallas after a wonderful visit with Amy and Karl, our two phones began to squabble with one another. That's going pre...

An ongoing discussion about books, writing, and technology. Monday, October 24, 2016. Workin' for the good stuff! I really need to learn how to turn down work. Or maybe just budget my time a bit better. Right now I find myself buried beneath a mountain of tasks, all of them vying for my time: First, of course, there's my actual job —. The one that pays the bills! Course next quarter, I'm also taking. The prep work to put together the presentation took several hours, but it was worth it: it was fun and us...

The Geekly Weekly: September 2016
http://www.thegeeklyweekly.com/2016_09_01_archive.html
An ongoing discussion about books, writing, and technology. Sunday, September 25, 2016. Well, Saturday's book signing at B&N SouthPointe was by all accounts a great success: Lots of people showed up (including my longtime buddies, Bert and Sarah, who flew all the way from Sacramento! Knowing Bert as I do, this is the point at which he would insert, "And boy, were our arms tired! Thank you, Bert. You may sit down now. Many books were sold, most of the people laughed at most of the jokes, and. Convinced pe...

http://www.thegeeklyweekly.com/2016_07_01_archive.html
An ongoing discussion about books, writing, and technology. Sunday, July 24, 2016. It's good to be an elk. At least, it is if you happen to live and forage near the town of Sequim, in northwestern Washington state. Or for that matter in Clam Lake, Wisconsin or in certain areas of Minnesota. A bull elk. Image in the public domain. Collars were different. When the elk come within about 400 yards of the highway, the collars emit a laser signal that causes roadside warning signs to flash "ELK X-ING.". We sim...

An ongoing discussion about books, writing, and technology. Tuesday, December 13, 2016. Photos Are Made With Your Eyes, Not Your Camera. Who Knew? It pains me immensely to admit this, but my wife is a better photographer than I. Much. Better. (There's no need to spread this around, of course.) And this is in spite. Photography, because it turns out that as a first-year teacher, when the principal asks if you can teach this or that subject, you say, "Pfffft! Why, if I hadn't become an. Actually, I should ...

An ongoing discussion about books, writing, and technology. Sunday, November 13, 2016. The World Gets Smaller. And Flatter. And Angrier. Yes, you should buy this book. And my book too,. Naturally. But this one especially.). I do have my own opinions, of course, but at least on this blog, I try to stay away from the (often choleric) political discussions currently making the rounds. Not because I think it's unimportant; it's just not what this blog is about. Yep, buy this one. Too Can't have too. Describe...
