I have a cold. I’d somehow managed to mostly avoid one this year but, alas, I was found. There were a couple of close calls, but they were averted by Airborne, the magic bubbly stuff that keeps my nose clear and my head clearer. This time, maybe it was too little too late. And now….…
It sucks being a teenager. It really does. By teenager, I mean from about 12 until about 20 (though things don’t get much better in your early twenties). But yeah, they suck. There are feelings and emotions coursing through you, making you feel unlike anything known to humankind. You’re parents don’t get you, your teachers…

Last January, 2010, or maybe it was summer 2009, if I could find the printout… Anyway, it doesn’t matter, I received a private message on MySpace (remember that place? Good times, man! Gooood times) from a new publisher that was getting into ebooks. They asked if I was interested in publishing the ebook version of…
I watched this video from TED2012 featuring Susan Cain giving a talk about being an introvert and the importance of accepting people who are introverts. I’d never heard of Ms. Cain before this talk but she’s written a book called Quiet: The Power of Introverts that I may have to check out at some point.…
