Only Grant’s memoirs compete…

Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres, quarum unam incolunt Belgae, aliam Aquitani, tertiam qui ipsorum lingua Celtae, nostra Galli appellantur. Hi omnes lingua, institutis, legibus inter se differunt. Gallos ab Aquitanis Garumna flumen, a Belgis Matrona et Sequana dividit. Horum omnium fortissimi sunt Belgae, propterea quod a cultu atque humanitate provinciae longissime [...:]

Star Trek: The Awesome Generation

OK late in the day today I saw the new Star Trek movie. It was a great movie. Excellent story, excellent special effects, hilarious dialogue

Online Document Collaboration Experiment

So I did this unplanned experiment where teams that I was working with doing my MBA classes used collaborative tools (for the first time). Here are the results in pictures. Roughly speaking none of these people had ever tried any of these kinds of tools, but they were relatively facile with MS office. [...:]

An amusing web conspiracy to get published for real…

So as you know I’ve published my book on Kindle.  I’ve had several sales.  I’ve also been active on this book reader/writer site called Authonomy.   On Authonomy, people read the excerpt of your book, comment and give you shelf space.  Now on Authonomy, the more shelf space you get, the higher your book is on [...:]

Tuesday Night Chat…On Urtaru and Writing in general…

So I’ve started to memberize myself (making that word up is called taking literary license) on a bunch of reader and author websites.  One of them is sponsored by HarperCollins and it is called Authonomy, and I’m pretty impressed.  A lot of authors out there trying to get noticed and a lot of their material [...:]
