2007-10-19 20:05 SpearTalks: Amit Gupta
Amit Gupta is an entrepreneur. If you read Rolling Stone, The Wall Street Journal, Wired, or any other combination of America's best publications, your eyes have probably skimmed the same pages that some of Amit's more popular projects have graced. Photojojo, the friendliest photography* newsletter around, and Jelly, the co-working sessions that help creative types get even more creative, are perhaps the most popular examples of Amit's endeavors (and definitely the most written about). Popularit …

2007-10-12 22:40 Threading and Throttling differences between WCF and ASMX
I know I havent been posting deep technical stuff that I Visual Studio, for example, I enjoyed seeing their shocked faces when I told them: " oh - just last night. why you asked ". I dont dwell deep like I used to but I still code up decent projects which I implement within my own developmental testing environment (yes, I have one running latest versions of SharePoint, Ruby-on-Rails ) or in my new ASP.NET asynchronous pattern (BeginSomething/EndSomething, etc) on it so to go easy on the thread p …

2007-10-12 18:16 Two Minds Crack
Some of you probably still remember the group, "Two Minds Crack" ... the band that performed the New Wave hit song, "Upside Down", back in the early 80s. Well, a few months back I posted a remake of their hit single, performed by "Candles" ... a band I used to co-manage till they disbanded (creative differences). This particular remake was included in the group's debut album which came out during the last quarter of 2006 under Viva Records. Long before 6CycleMind's version was ever released. W …

2007-09-12 21:02 Review - Deborah Ng's Freelance Writing Jobs
There are a lot of blogs about writing, but one of them is actually useful. Deborah Ng's " Freelance Writing Jobs " is one of the elite online writing studios at WritersRow.com. Freelance Writing Jobs started as a blog about the writing life and a resource for writers, but it has grown into its own bustling community. I first subscribed to Deborah Ng's "Freelance Writing Jobs" feed because of her incredible writing jobs board. What she does is she scans Craigslist for all the best freelance writ …

2007-09-12 03:49 A Series of Firsts For Willie Tee
As Red Kelly mentions in his new post at the 'A' Side on one of Willie Tee's collaborations with the Wild Magnolias, he and I stood in Lafayette Square in downtown New Orleans this past May during Jazzfest week and heard Willie Tee do a hip, relaxed set with members of Galactic backing him. Big Chief Bo Dollis, apparently not in good health at the time, joined him for some numbers, too. Although there were some technical difficulties with the keyboards and mics, Tee was in great form; and it was …

2007-09-04 22:46 September To-Do's
The start of a new school year always seems like a time to reassess the year, and overall it s been a pretty good one. I *think* I m starting to find a balance between my family life and my poetry goals. My secret, if you will, is dedicating an hour an evening to something anything a chore, a poetry to-do task, something that I can finish but feel like I ve accomplished a task. In the past, after the kids have gone to bed, I d collapse with a thud in bed. TV on until I drifted to sleep. But now, …

2007-09-03 22:54 Need a Nice Generic Cover Letter
You know those gigs you find on job boards and such The ones that usually say, "send cover letter, resume, and 2 writing samples" I know LOTS of you apply and get those jobs, so I'm here looking for some help! (Yes, again. Shush. :D) I'm having an awful time of coming up with a nice generic cover letter template for those. (Note: if I know something about an editor, I have no problem with this kind of letter. It's just the mass-mailing type things.) And my problem starts with the very first sent …

2007-09-03 04:43 Revised 'A Time to Mend': Chapter Five
This is the fifth chapter of a work of fiction. The original version was published on this blog a year or two ago. This is a revised version. I had been back in the Oxford area for about a month when I discovered that my old university friend and musical partner Wendy Howard was also living in the city again. I made the discovery completely by accident, in Blackwell s Bookshop, at the end of a road trip with Emma, Becca, and Rick s daughter Sarah. I managed to buy a ten year old four-door Ford E …

2007-09-01 09:51 Salon Blanc, Oscillate Wildly, Nu's
It's coming up to that time of the year when things are incredibly busy at work, so I don't think I'll be getting as much of a chance to write about the restaurants I've been visiting, or the cookbooks I've been leafing through and recipes I've been trying out. By the time I make it home, I'd much rather be watching a little TV ( So You Think You Can Dance had me in stitches this week. The 'swing guy' in particular, stole the entire show) or listening to Rufus in anticipation of the concert we'l …

2007-08-31 11:21 On adaptations and liveness
I had intended to spend today s entry thinking about comedy. It is my comedy reviews from Edinburgh that are still gazing mournfully up from my computer screen saying, œHey, what s wrong with us Huh as I resolutely fail to polish them off and file them. Comedy is bloody hard to write about. The main problem is that it is largely composed of jokes. Jokes are based on some element of surprise. It is the unexpectedness of a punchline - the neatness of the observation - that makes an audience expl …
