I enjoyed this article about writing for peanuts because it hits the nail right on the head about what it is to live in the world of Internet freelance writing. The example mentioned is somewhat off though because the writer the article talked about earned a 'measly' $40.00 which by our standards would be pretty [...]
I can't believe Arthur C. Clarke is dead. He is one of the most influential writers I've ever read, whose books have become part of my life. His book Rendezvous with Rama was probably the first that forced me to think outside of what my eyes see. Space Odyssey 2001 brought me to far away [...]
One of the nice things I like about big Press gigs is you occasionally get the chance to talk to other writers, many of whom have been in the business for decades. Yesterday I was seated beside friends from Manila Tribune, a sorta celeb guy from Studio 23 and interestingly enough, editors from 34 year [...]
Hey I just noticed that my SME Insight article on business intelligence software is up on their blog.

I have told Art that I loved his narrative style on his blog a few days ago when we sat together at an event two weeks ago. For some reason I knew that he'd be a terrific read if he started blogging, and since I found his link on the first PWIT I had been [...]
And I celebrated by putting up a new template, called typoxpreloaded (hey i dont know where he got the name from either).
At any rate, am following up on a great deal of backlog work, starting with enhancements to Pwit, trying to put a new template at movie ex (which was unsuccessful, so i left [...]
I'm at the Compass Internet Cafe at Galleria. The difference between this and Netopia is that this place allows you to use Firefox, although the default is this annoying 'Avant Browser' which looks like some sort of IE add-on and, as is usual for such things, thoroughly annoying therefore.
At any rate, this is Day 6 [...]
So anyway, here are two of my articles that came out recently. One for PDI entitled "Two Stories of Technology Achievement Charity and Fulfillment", and the cover story for this month's issue for Speed Mag titled "A first view of Microsoft Vista"
Ok I know the PDI one was renamed to some incomprehensible title, with absolutely [...]
