"Qui plume a, guerre a." — Voltaire
One of the reasons I fell in love with Mrs. Sotto Voce, and fall in love with her again all the time, is because of the way she always finds fresh joy in geeking out. Yesterday, for example, we celebrated the Fourth of July by treating ourselves to a leisurely morning and afternoon — brunch […]
No, Sotto Voce is not dead. I’ve been busy writing elsewhere — on Channel 37 of course, along with the usual magazine articles, a local paper, client newsletters, the MWA newsletter, etc. etc. But I feel the urge to check in here too. I feel a change coming on for SV as my writing life […]
4:10: Wrapping up for the day. The last session has begun, and they took the coffee out of the room at lunch so there’s not much left to do. So, signing off! 2:25: Lunch was great, we had fun chatting with a couple of conference attendees. I was struck by how universal the experiences of […]
8:45 p.m. Home, fed, hydrated, and flipping between White Nights (her) and Tron (me). My first experiment in live-blogging was a qualified success. Hard to do with the iPod because of the slow typing and the constant need to switch programs to reestablish the connection after sleep every time I have to put it down […]
3:26 Did I mention it was raining? In between the torrential downpours (now accented with artillery-barrage quality thunder) we get a lot of traffic, and have even managed to keep up an average of one anthology sale per hour — a respectable average even in good weather! 1:10 p.m. Rain. Lots and lots of rain […]
Sitting here in my favorite chair in the den as the clock chimes ten; the cats have finally worn each other out from the evening’s wrestling. Reading a biography of an eccentric Englishman and savoring the cool breeze drifting through the window, and for some reason I find myself remembering a radio interview I heard […]
…back to typecasting next week ‘cuz I didn’t bring a typewriter (or a scanner for that matter). If only our electro- wizards could invent some sort of magical “tele-typewriting” gizmo that could allow me to post typewritten text instead of using these ephemeral “electrical words.” If we but had such devices, we could have conquered […]
I woke up this morning at around 4:00 a.m. from a weird dream (a lady and her son kept breaking into my mom’s house to do laundry; we finally caught them in the act but they were defiant until I went all Alan Shore on them) and was just about to fall asleep again when […]
Well, here is my first iPod touch posting. What do you call this? Pod-blogging? Sounds a little too much like podcasting. One thing for sure — it’s a lot harder to type this way, one finger (thumb) at a time. I seem to actually type faster and with fewer errors using just my right thumb, […]
