Sometimes I hesitate to jump in on controversial things, partly because I’m a wuss but mostly because other people argue so much better than I do. But considering I just talked about myopia, and how many people believe their experience is the only one there is (or the only one there SHOULD be), and [...]
Like EULAs. End User License Agreements. The stuff you scroll through in order to order iTunes apps/music/videos, or play computer games, etc. Most legalese is boring. To date the only organization who tries to make legal speak human readable is Creative Commons.
So there’s this contest someone pointed me to, with a [...]
When I was a kid (third grade, maybe? Fourth? Doesn’t matter) our school would have a field day of sports and events at the last day of school. It was great fun. There were four teams, and my team (randomly picked) won one year. Personally, I hadn’t done much to contribute; I was never terribly [...]

I just read something that angered me. What I read is not important, because what pissed me off was the phrase within an email that seems ubiquitous-indeed, I’ve said it myself. But I’m tired of it. I’m going to stop using it, and I implore you, I BEG of you to erase this phrase from [...]
I hate hate hate coming up with titles. Hate it. Sometimes they come to me, but that’s very rare.
My favorite title is for my short story, I Look Forward to Remembering You, about time travel and how our main character hires someone to go back in time to change her past. So it fit. [...]
My rant on #queryfail. (Search for the constantly updated twitterstream here)
