I’ve been cleaning out my office. While going through drawers and file cabinets I’ve found many spiral notebooks. (Have I told you that I love spiral notebooks and steno pads and all sorts of office supplies?)
I’ve found lot of notes from writing conferences, snippets of ideas and character sketches, and most of all, [...]]]></description>

We were told it’s been a dry winter. You can’t tell it by the vegetation. Everything has grown like crazy. A little, or a lot of rain and a little sun, really makes the plants put on growth spurts.

It seems that every webpage I open these days has a video. Most of the time I have to make some hardware adjustments before I can hear the video. I ask myself (and the website owner) if the video is really necessary. Sometimes they are, but most of the time they aren’t. I [...]]]></description>
