iven that I write science fiction and that I am a science fiction fan, I get asked fairly frequently what books I recommend. I get asked this more frequently by people who don’t generally read science fiction. Sometimes, I am asked for a list of my favorite books regardless of the genre. In the past,…

ne of the sets of questions I get asked with a fair amount of regularity has to do with what settings I use to scan documents into Evernote. Do I prefer PDF or JPG? What resolution do I use? Do I prefer one page per note or a multi-page scan? So I thought I’d use…

y schedule got away from me this week and, although I keep telling myself I’ll get this week’s Going Paperless post written “as soon as I finish one more thing…” it hasn’t happened yet. Rather than start to sweat it, I’m just going to write it off this week. I’ll be back with the post…

t was one year ago that I started my Going Paperless series of posts and it’s hard to believe that the year has gone by so quickly. By my count, I’ve had posts for 50 of the last 52 weeks. So I hope you’ll forgive me if I take this week off. Instead, let me…

t had to happen at some point, I suppose. I recently took 2 weeks away from the Internet and used that time to contemplate life, the universe and everything. I re-read Walden by Henry David Thoreau, for instance, so you can imagine my state of mind. Reading Walden made me yearn for simpler times, times when I…

I am currently away on an Internet Vacation. I’ll be back online on March 31. I have written one new post for each day of my Vacation so that folks don’t miss me too much while I am gone. But keep in mind, these posts have been scheduled ahead of time. Feel free to comment, as…
