There is an offer letter on the way and this 9 Month, 3 week long adventure in unemployment will be coming to a close. It’s an interesting company and a good group of people so I’m pretty psyched up about it. Of course I’m also apprehensive as hell- that’s just how I always am with [...]

So, what’s been going on? I had an excellent interview up at Dartmouth Hitchcock in Lebanon, NH. The position didn’t pan out, but they were a great group of people and at least I was able to sit down and talk shop for a while. A few other nibbles have been popping up, but nothing [...]

Well, it certainly has been a while, hasn’t it? I’ve been unemployed two months at this point and the initial rush of applications, resume re-makes and whatnot are complete and we are heading into the long slog known as summer, where job opportunities, already semi-scarce here in New Hampshire, really dry up. That’s not to [...]

Well, I got laid off today. I was expecting it, but I was hoping it would wait until Summer so I could at least co-sign my son’s school loan note. Anyhow, I have two blogs of my own and posting priviledges on two more that see far more action than my two combined so I’m [...]

So, I posted the Novel and then discovered that anything bigger than about 20000 words went to blank grey after that point.  I tried reposting using IE7 instead of Firefox and now everything looks great, sort of, as long as you’re using IE. Anything else and it’s a crap shoot, so if anyone stumbles across [...]

Well it’s been an interesting 20 hours or so here in New Hampshire. About an inch of ice fell, covering everything, closing most major roads and cutting power to about half a million homes and businesses… except right here where I live. Our power flickered a couple of times, the internet never failed and I’ve [...]

Trudy Schuett over at Dean’s World just posted a doozy of an idea, but got the math wrong by six digits. The idea was to foregoe all the banking bailouts and just give every American a million bucks. She claimed a cost of 300 million dollars- that’s where the six missing zeroes popped up- try [...]

I know the tag line on this blog mentions opinions, but it seems of late I’ve been reluctant to publicly discuss politics at all. I live in Concord, NH which is a pretty Liberal city as far as New Hampshire goes and usually goes heavily Democratic in elections so my neighbors and I recognize our [...]

I’ve been laying low for quite a while, what with the kids out of school and all, plus I built a new office in my basement… which led to a strained Achilles tendon and a bad ciatic nerve. It sucks getting old, don’t let anyone tell you different. Anyhow, I’m going to clean up 3500years.com [...]

I think I’m finally over the hump with this writing thing- I’ve been putting it off and putting it off, but I really do want to go back to daily posting and getting my head around the second book. I talked to Dean and he’s up for taking on an editing role- he’s still not [...]
