So on It’s All Good I heard about the Microsoft Vista name announcement video. Go ahead and watch it. Except for the crowd scenes, the half-dozen actors in this presentation are all male (or at least very convincing female-to-male pre-ops, or male-identified). I was hoping Scobleizer would comment, since for an Astroturf blogger he seems […]
FRL readers who have my RSS 2 field already know this, since RSS 2 publishes updated posts, but you who are still subscribed to the RSS 1 feed may be interested to read my updated MFA Project outline, for the first time with snippets from the actual pieces in work–you know, My Craft. (In other […]
Well, call me pea-green and make me into a pot of soup. I am simply simmering with envy over Stephanie Klein’s fame and book deal. We have so much in common, and yet here I founder in the Technorati backwaters hoping against hope that someday in the far, far future a literary journal might publish […]
The title of this entry comes from a question my very smart, savvy sister asked me a year ago: “So what are these ‘globs’ you keep talking about, anyway?” Pew just issued an entertaining if not entirely surprising report demonstrating that the most au courant techno-words, such as RSS and podcasting, are only understood by […]
f you live near Palo Alto, have $25, and want to see me make a fool of myself, now’s your chance. To my horror, I have slowly realized that on July 28th I am on a panel with a bunch of venture capitalists and academics, talking to a roomful of engineers. How did this happen? […]

I will print off this entry and casually leave it on the dining room table… ALA Wrote: ——————— To help raise awareness that books continue to be challenged, ALA’s […]
Good ALA memories to dwell on after a long day… here’s one from the Webjunction party at ALA Annual, at which I saw in one place all together (finally proving they are not really one person) George, Alice, and Alane of It’s All Good: I am deeply absorbed in the migration tasks for the new […]
I am troubleshooting the comment feature so I don’t think it will work on this blog right now… just an fyi. Bookmark to:
Jenny notes Proquest will be offering RSS feeds. Proquest also called me to ask a few questions about how to do this. You know, I never asked the question in the back of my mind: Why did they call me? Because of this blog? MPOW? Something else? But I gave them a good half-hour. It […]
My Movable Type installation is still on the evaluation server. I am starting to think that my ISP, Dreamhost, is part of the problem. I mean that both in the macro and micro sense. When I asked them for the path information for these processes, they told me this information was unavailable. But if I […]
