Life in Kana-text (er… CONtext)
This may not be a problem a lot of you have run into, so I have to share that it's kind of challenging to find clerical shirts for women that a woman would want to wear. Particularly if one's clerical activities fall outside the realm of traditional church-choir stuff (more on this in "Confessions of … Continue reading The Reluctant Fashionista Springs Forward
Here I am, pimping freelance work again.. We are still in need of WRITERS at Quality Communication Solutions (see Call for WRITERS! for the details). QCS's C.E.O. Steve Brown asked me to let you know that we are also in need of at least one excellent Freelance Proofreader/Editor/Compiler/Submitter, whose duties will include: Proofreading - this entails … Continue reading Proofreading, Anyone?

Probably everyone who tried to use the web yesterday became aware (if they hadn't been … Continue reading Blacked Out, and Snowstorm-Driving for Dummies

Six … Continue reading Soul for Sale, Going Once…
