I’m a fan of Agatha Christie mysteries with Miss Marple, Hercule Poirot (he’s Belgian not French, darnit), and Tommy and Tuppence. Here’s an opportunity to get involved with a mystery through a series of emails, instant messenger, and Web pages as explained in A Whodunit for the Digital Age. I’ve downloaded the file, but haven’t checked it out yet.
Though I use an online dictionary and WordWeb on a regular basis, I still count on my trusty paperback and hard cover dictionaries (yes, I have more than one as I had to have one at work, at home, and got a couple as gifts).
If your dictionary is like my oldest and well-worn dictionary from when I was a kid and doesn’t have Internet in it doesn’t recognize Internet as a word, it’s time to invest in word stock. See a review of dictionary from Slate in its Word Up – Which dictionary is the best? article.
I feel so guilty about not keeping my blog updated. I’ve gotten busy with Lockergnome, InformIT, InternetVIZ, and teleco job. That’s what happens when Paul is having trouble finding a job. I’m grateful I can support the family, but I am also tired. I’ve had a challenging year health-wise.
You know what? I think I’ll do a little gut spilling. I’ve been hearing about freelancers who finally set up a blog and they’re getting a lot of attention. These are the people who shot down blogs from the start. Jealous? Probably. I also jumped on the RSS bandwagon early because of Dave Winer.
If I weren’t so busy with other things, maybe I could’ve written articles for all the resources that are just getting around to talking about these topics. Now, it’s so common that it would not be an original idea. I just can’t overextend myself. Gotta sleep. Gotta spend time with family.
I need to go write a blog entry for InformIt, but I am blanking.
When you read the title of this entry, what comes to mind? A hungry hunter who quickly makes his shot and goes home? Or a panda bear, which eats bamboo shoots and leaves? It can’t be the latter because of the comma placement. But then again, this is an example of how incorrect punctuation can mean disaster for a sentence. Punctuation marks a way to sell book’s (yes, the apostrophe is wrong) is a best selling book in the UK and it’s on my wish list. Wow, a best-seller on punctuation. How often does that happen?
