Joe Winett Ummm, I will admit that not remembering the details usually doesn’t stop me from telling a story… no cop, no foul.. Or perhaps, not under oath, no foul. 32 minutes ago · Like Joe Winett I pride myself on always trying to be completely honest these days, but I was driving home earlier, telling a story to…

A demonstration of how I record my thoughts rather than trying to write them down. Advice about brainstorming from Joe Winett: “Try not to edit your thoughts as they pour from your brain. Writing or typing can be an idea killer as you’re trying to make the writing perfect or grammatkly… grammarly… grammarily.. whatever… correct.”…

Dear Adam, Since you are the only person I know who works at Google, I hope you’ll pass along this sentiment of appreciation for all Google does. I remind people that free is sometimes not completely free, just not immediately renumerated. However, the value proposition for Google services is, IMHO, a good one.  And I always…

I friend of mine who edits a collaborative blog ran into a problem recently. A number of people contribute to the blog posting.  All of the contributors were authorized as admins for the site instead of a mix of contributors managed by administrators.  A dispute arose between one of the authors and the rest, and…

Everything concerning time and memories mixes together in my brain… which some would call a problem, but it’s great for making stories even more tasty because of the extra cheese.  This isn’t exactly a secret bag from the hammers. I think some people (and I’m one of those people) hear a story and never consider…

The question would be — how often do I really use features of Actionscript and Flash’s event model / layering…

Everyone likes to read a story. I’d like you to pay me to tell you a story. For decades (literally) I have been considering the best way to tell a story.  And make money from the telling of the story. I shiver when I think of writing a book.   I need to set up…

https://github.com/xaxxon/JoeDesktop No, that’s not my joeDesktop on github.

http://jasonsavard.com/ That’s right.  I made a donation to Jason Savard because I’m using his excellent Chrome extension, Checker Plus for Gmail… Given the choice between PayPal and Google Wallet, I decided to set up a Google Wallet account rather than type my debit card number into PayPal… because PAYPAL SUCKS.  I’m doing the best I…

In the course of our daily lives, we’ve been taught, and it’s great practice, to lean towards the most common denominator of behavior, which is usually right around or within local norms and customs. But, my dear babies, with regard to love interests, the best policy is to be yourself from the beginning.  The more…

In the past, I’ve written a summary of some years when they ended.  This time, I’m not going to do that. This year I’m working for MightyPages in Yukon, Oklahoma, and I still have responsibilities with National Cash Lenders near Charlotte, North Carolina, and I’m planning on launching Kids Elbow Room, a business I’ve been…
