Water For Elephants - Sara Gruen - Book Review

06/23/08, 3:55 PM

This could have been a wonderful novel.  Don’t get me wrong - it’s a very good novel, the story is solid

the characters are well drawn, the research is solid - but it’s flawed, and those flaws prevented me from truly enjoying the book.

Water for Elephants is the story of Jacob Jancowski - a vetrinary student who suffers a personal trauma…

The Jackalope Is In the House - Cletus Would be Proud!

06/23/08, 11:28 AM

Just a quick note … this past weekend there was an estate auction, and I went to that auction with one thing in mind…bring home a mounted Jackalope head. I am proud to say…I have hunted, and I have gathered, and it is MINE (lol). It might end up being a promotional item for a future Cletus J. Diggs story,…

Spore Creature Creator Hits our Household…results?

06/23/08, 9:23 AM

Okay, we bought Trish the Creature Creator software this weekend.  Then, in typical game fashion, I was forced to go out and get her a better video card to make the program run.  This — of course — did not fully solve the problem.  After some searching, I found a site that told me to remove a particular .dll file…

Pandora Radio - the Music Genome Project - Good Stuff!

06/20/08, 1:40 PM

I discovered Pandora quite some time ago, and have been working on honing and poking at my station - Shadeaux Planet - for some time. I’ve also got a couple of others started, but I’ve worked on my own longest.

“On January 6, 2000 a group of musicians and music-loving technologists came together with the idea of creating the most comprehensive…

The Beginning of a Book is the hardest part…except for the end.

06/20/08, 9:56 AM

I’m finishing one project, and beginning another. I’m finding both of these two situations much more difficult to deal with than the two or three that are mid-project and moving along at their own divergent speeds. I don’t think I’ve ever had quite so many things all running at once, and on top of it all, I have the Stargate…

I made a Wordle…hmm Based on Hallowed Ground the Novel

06/19/08, 1:12 PM

Hallowed Ground Wordle…pretty cool. Not sure what it’s good for, but it’s based on the text of HALLOWED GROUND - the novel in progress in collaboration with author Steve Savile.

I thought I’d share one of the REALLY short Emoticon stories, and point out that I have now posted 3o of the little buggers - 30 free flash fiction stories…you should not miss these…really …

His grades had slipped.  It wasn’t that he didn’t study; he read everything he could get his hands on.  He knew things the…

Google Index Problem Solved… keywords are weird again!

06/18/08, 10:24 AM

Just a quick note…after turning off the WordPress privacy thing that somehow got turned on when I upgraded, removing all robots.txt files from my site, and working with the sitemap for a while, Google is now cheerfully sending people here for odd combinations of words again.  The last 100 hits have involved these Google Search Terms:

Another Rant - This Time A Citizen on Oil and Gas & Idiots

06/18/08, 9:15 AM

Okay…the straw that broke the “I won’t talk about politics anymore in my blog” back was Bush coming out in support of lifting offshore drilling - supporting John, completely out of touch with progress McCain.  Seriously…it’s not enough we get eight years of a presidency DEDICATED to the enrichment of the bank accounts of oil barons at our expense -…
