I am not a member of the Writers’ Guild, but the strike has had a profound effect on my life — and just in time. In the most simplistic terms, the strike was about the impact of the internet on writers. They want and deserve a piece of the very tasty pie being downloaded and […]

I signed in to Script Frenzy this morning, and none too soon! It’s time to get geared up. Except I probably won’t actually participate. I probably won’t have time.
At the close of last year’s Script Frenzy, which I did not participate in, the Frenzies posted […]

I’d rather write than read. There, I said it.
But when I do read, I prefer to read complex non-fiction, especially histories. The latest book I read was “The Beautiful Cigar Girl.” Like “The Devil in the White City,” it is a book whose title is […]

From day one, it has been fun to have a computer persona. Creating a cool name and avatar are part of joining in the game.
Over the last year or so I have found myself wanting to shed the mask. I see others doing it too. […]

I grew up listening to Larry Lujack on WLS Chicago. I remember the deejays talking about people who stopped by the station to watch them work.
At Christmas time, my parents would take me 200 miles to go shopping in The Loop—and every year I […]

It is probably safe to say that no one ever uses all the features of any Microsoft Office application. There are just too many of them.
Don’t tell Bill Gates, but there are two features I use so often I would pay extra for them. If […]

Things are going a little slow with “I Can Do This” even though I have been writing curriculum. I got my site listed, along with 38,047 sites from 203 countries. Oh, my….
I put a free tutorial online just as a practice for myself, as […]

The MTV generation uses the term crib to refer to a posh house. Historically, in the United States, a crib was a prison for women slaves.
I have often wondered if the staff at MTV’s tv show, “Cribs” understands the tragic history of the crib and […]

This is a cheap and simple way to create a fruity dessert.
Start with a Jiffy pizza mix. They cost about 80 cents. Start the pizza as you would normally, spreading the pizza dough in a pizza pan. Sprinkle the crust with cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. […]

This is the simplest and healthiest quiche you’ll ever eat. And it tastes great!
First of all, it is fake because it doesn’t use a crust or eggs. You can fake it out even more if you use fake cheese (non-dairy). Here is how I make […]
