Last week I posted about completing a first draft of a novel. Tektonick added a comment, including the line: “…I want to say that I’m very impressed with all the projects you seem to keep pushing forward so damn easily. My hat is off to you!” Of course I took offense at the “so damn [...]

Timo added this to the end of a comment on a previous post: “By the way, are planning to submit your novellas to any science fiction magazines? Analog/Asimov’s/F&SF?” I’d never given the idea any thought, so I looked up the relevant websites and mulled over the concept for a day. Maybe this won’t be a [...]

In the blog comments and by email I’ve received loads of suggestions for different ebook websites and publishers. A few minutes ago I got the most helpful suggestion: “There is actually a sub menu in Stanza where you can download a great many Creative Commons e-books of all kinds” The “Online Catalog” tab is right [...]

Last night Pola asked “Do you want to watch a DVD with me?” I wasn’t feeling well, and suspected she wanted to watch the Sex and the City (while I’m more of a City and the Stars kind of guy). So I sat in bed with my laptop and plugged away at my novel. I [...]

A few posts ago I wrote about ebook readers for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Stanza is by far the best I’ve tried so far. The page turning is great (small taps on the sides of the screen, not a flicking motion like others), you can lock the rotation so you can read it laying [...]

I recently bought myself an iPod Touch. First, I wanted an iPod with a more storage. Second, I wanted a smaller wifi device (smaller than my laptop) for web connection and email while I’m on the move. Third, I want a better phone, and would like an iPhone, but stumping up the cash for both [...]
