I Break for NaNoWriMo
If you've been following this blog for a bit you know that back in April I made a commitment to begin work on my first novel.
Well America, up to now I've written exactly 0 pages, 0 words, and 0…

(not) Social Networking 101 - Another Top 5 List
I dropped some knowledge on Lori Widmer's Words on the Page blog the other day, and it got me thinking (as Lori often does - so blame her for this post); if I were to ask 100 people what networking…
This I believe...and it May be Killing Me
I believe I have but one major illness to recover from in this lifetime, and that belief may be killing me.
Perhaps a little dramatic you say? Let me explain.
This whole healthcare hoopla, with…
Coming out to Strangers
I had an interesting conversation with a new neighbor during one of the last pool days before the kids pack back off to school.
We were leaving the pool quickly in order to get home for showers &…
G-Reader Love Fest
I just added a great new widget to the sidebar over there.

General Motors Does it Again...
Mini rant:
GM fails to understand human nature relative to the hybrid electric market. The article below says that the new plug-in electric Buick Crossover will not run on electricity alone, but…
Natural New Zealand
Twelve of my favorite pictures from New Zealand
I would love your thoughts on them. Did I capture the mood? How's my framing? Was the lighting right? Do they look playful & at the same time…
During this Brief Intermission III: Ranginui & Papatuanuku

So we’ve spent the last several day visiting companies that are in some way innovative. I believe I mentioned Digipost in the kickoff post; it turns out this is not a Peter Jackson…
During this Brief Intermission II: The First (best?) Day.
May 3, 2009
OK. First of all, in real time it's May 1. But as it happens, when you travel from North Carolina to arguably the furthest place on the planet from North Carolina, you loose a whole day.…
During this Brief Intermission: Down Under Kickoff
G'day mates!
Well, I'm off to see what the world has to offer a sheltered mind like mine. My flight to Auckland, New Zealand takes off just about 24 hours from now and I've just gotten around to…
Sid Prince Writes - Part I: The Beginning
I'm sitting here reflecting on what possessed me to start a novel, my first novel, at this point in my life. It doesn't make sense. I have a full-time demanding job, I have two small children, I'm in…
Interview with a Sponge
Let’s

What
do you get when you cross a hyperactive Jew from Rochester NY, an Email
Marketing Maven, a Social Media Evangelist, and a sick but curiously clean
sense of humor?
Ron Paul and the Baby Baldwin Go At It
I personally do not smoke marijuana (something about being a control freak who is already scared of his own shadow. It's not pretty)...
Writer or Storyteller?
I asked Boy Prince this morning if he knew the difference between a writer and a storyteller. He did not. He reciprocated the inquiry and I was unable to answer him right away, but I reassured him that there is a difference...
Failure is not Failure
I saw something in my daughter a couple of weeks ago that reminded me of myself, and it hurt my heart a little.
She declined to participate in an activity that everyone knew she would enjoy. When…
NFLRush Zone
In the tradition of Dear American Airlines, I completed the following complaint letter to the NFLRush Zone after having and being summarily denied a refund for this online application. I think it's…
The Pink Gang
There's a band of women in India who fight, sometimes violently, for the elimination of corruption in government and for woman's rights. These women are known to carry long sticks in the event that…
First Time Volunteer
Folks, I stood out next to a church in North Carolina, in the parking lot, in the rain, for seven hours a couple of days ago talking to people about why I believe they should vote for Barack Obama...
Crooks
I really don't want to turn this into a political blog - and I'll avoid it in future - but this criminal activity has got to be stopped (and it's not so much politics as it's a call for justice)! I…
