got away from me, actually. so, it wasn’t yesterday, but today, just now, about 5 minutes ago, that i finally pushed NGD and HHNF into the Amazon-ian ether of the Kindle. now i just have to wait 12-48 hours, and then, with any luck, all this fussing over details will be done and my ever-supportive,…

but first it will make you miserable. this maxim occurs to me in conjunction with my current effort at self-publishing. entirely aside from the psychological steps i needed to make (and the sleep i needed to lose), the individual and quite particular steps of creating a polished digital copy are surprisingly numerous and remain unexpectedly…
9 months?

Nine months away from the blog. Sorry about that. And that’s all you have to say for yourself? Yep. No explanation? Nothing? You’ve been gone long enough to have a baby, for crying out loud. Well, not quite, actually . . . Excuse me? Nothing. I was just saying . . . Nevermind. So, after…
RoE.d2 – almost done!
| 11 May, 2011 | Posted by bill under book: running on empty |
i just finished the typing/dictation for Running on Empty, which means it’s all on the computer now, which is excellent. The ‘almost’, however, refers to the fact that while Dragon well and truly saved my hands and wrists from my normal post-first draft carpal tunnel suffering, it isn’t perfect. it’s very, very good, but i rushed…

i didn’t make it to the end, but that’s sometimes the way of things. still, i am on page 238, so only 9 pages to go! i would consider pushing on, but good sleep has been evading me for several days, so i’m hoping to change that with an early night.
here, again (plus a challenge to myself)

so, no, i haven’t actually been sick for the last 4 weeks, but i have been slow in getting back here. why? well, it’s the end of the semester, so teaching gets busier, and i’ve been fighting with a particularly insidious little problem in the web work which keeps feeling like three steps forward and…
sick.

“and tired.” one of my favorite lines from Bill Cosby’s ‘Himself’ recording. not so much fun when it’s an accurate description of my present state; nonetheless, as unpleasant as being sick is*, it always serves to remind me of how fortunate i am to have my health as much as i do. so there’s that.…
april fools! (or, spring in Maine)
| 1 April, 2011 | Posted by bill under ramblings |
this video is why i live here. embedded by Embedded Video seriously. in know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, and i’ll admit to being fairly done with winter, but a late-breaking, heavy winter storm on April 1 just makes me happy. and the shoveling doubled as today’s exercise, so there’s that . . . and for…
