• Blog Fatigue or Burn Out

  August 22nd, 2007 |

  It doesn’t surprise me to hear about blog fatigue or burn out as Green Tea Ice Cream reports and admits to blogging fatigue. Having blogged for over seven years (not as regularly in the beginning), I go through abouts of burn out or falling into a rut. I almost always have a list of things [...]

• Oops… Undoing the Last Action

  August 21st, 2007 | Tags: applications, web brows

  I fill out too many surveys, but I like to help. Usually they ask opinions on a Web site, product, application, service and so on. I noticed an ugly pattern in that many don’t have a “Back” link. Sometimes surveys don’t like it when you use the Back button on the browser because of data [...]

• ZenGems PC Game Review

  August 21st, 2007 |

  When we hear about a new match three or color matching game, we don’t expect to see anything new — just a different story and theme. Be prepared for a wonderful gem full of surprises in ZenGems. It’s not what you expect from color matching games — in fact, sometimes you’ll do better if you [...]

• Sally’s Salon PC Game Review

  August 20th, 2007 | Tags: casual games, PC Games, Sally's Salon

  We shouldn’t be surprised at the flurry of beauty-themed games considering the industry makes billions from diet-related products and plastic surgery. Sally’s Salon takes a page from the Diner Dash manual replacing food and bussing with hair dos and eyebrow shaping services. Sally’s Salon does a fine job with its crisp graphics and the process [...]

• Freelancing on the Side to Full-Time

  August 20th, 2007 |

  Freelance Folder lists things to consider when you’re freelancing on the side and trying to decide whether to go full-time. I started freelancing in 2000 at the heightof the dot com boom. Initially, I aimed to work in Web design, but it didn’t take long to discover I had no eye or talent for design. I [...]

• Inkwell Editorial Interview

  August 16th, 2007 | Tags: Business, freelancer, Writing

  I referenced Yuwanda Black’s article in a past blog entry in which she shares her experience as a freelance writer, so I was honored when I saw an e-mail from her in my inbox. Sometimes when I link to others, they drop me a note thanking me — so I wasn’t completely surprised. However, she not [...]

• Temple of Tangram PC Game Review

  August 15th, 2007 |

  I loved doing tangrams as a kid especially when we students had the opportunity to play with them in class. It was more fun than solving math problems and working only with pencil and paper. With tangrams, your hands held the smooth wooden pieces while you tried to find the right place for them in [...]

• Flags as a Representative for a Language

  August 15th, 2007 |

  Some sites use flags to represent a language thinking visitors will click the flag that represents their langauge to view the site in that language. Well, do you use Mexico’s flag or Spain’s flag to represent Spanish? I don’t recall seeing a site using both flags. What about English? Some sites use the British flag and [...]

• Words Kingdom PC Game Review

  August 14th, 2007 | Tags: casual games, PC Games, Words Kingdom

  “…in a morning everything suddenly changed. They came from the sea… the Barbarians. Thousands of them… with only one thing on their mind… destroy. They’ve take over us. Our homes… our children… our lives. But there will come a day and a leader will rise, uniting under his sword the faith of an entire nation. [...]

• Date Formatting

  August 14th, 2007 |

  We Americans like to do things different. Who knows why. Most countries have adopted the metric system and list the date, month and year when formatting a date as in 24 July 2007. This causes confusion especially in the first two weeks of a month. Since my book, Brilliant Outlook Pocketbook, targeted the UK audience, I [...]
