hen Google announced that it was eliminating Google Reader from its product slate, I was a little dismayed. I’ve been using Reader for years to collect my RSS feeds. I rarely used Reader to read my feeds, however. I left that mostly to the Reeder App. I used the Reeder App extensively on the iPad, and…
ow, things have been busy! This weekend flew by with barely time to breath, it seemed. On Saturday we took the kids up to the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore to see Thomas the Train. We’ve done it before and they enjoy it. The weather was nice, which was an added bonus. We had a…
am on my third reread of Stephen King’s It. (What can I say, I like it that much.) Those who have read the book know that significant portions of it either take place in, or are related to, the canal and drain system beneath the fictional Maine town of Derry. I was in the house a few…
f writing was like baseball, and each writing session represented a hit, then I suppose you could say that yesterday, I bested Joe DiMaggio for the consecutive game hitting streak record. Joe is famous, in part, for having hit safely in 56 consecutive ball games back in 1941, a feat that no one has come…
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…

‘ve had a long, wearying couple of days these last few days. I spent a lot of my weekend doing work related to my day-job. That work continued throughout today almost without a break, and will continue some more this evening. So I was delighted and pleased when I opened the mailbox today to find…
es, I am alive. I’ve just been working most of the weekend. Day job-related work. On Saturday I spent about 6 hours writing code and documenting said code. On Sunday I spent about 6 hours putting together a 52-slide PowerPoint slide deck in preparation for a meeting tomorrow. Still, I managed to get a few…
ight now, much of my time is being consumed writing a bunch of ASP.NET code (C# if you are curious) and preparing a briefing for Monday. Between that and trying to squeeze in my fiction writing, my time popping in here on the blog may be limited over the next couple of days. Yes, I…
hen I woke up this morning, the first thing I did was look at my daily almanac entry that is automatically sent to Evernote each night to see the numbers that I knew would show up there today. This is what I saw: I have now written fiction for 50 consecutive days. I can’t be…
