My dad was a veteran. My husband is a veteran. True story: They both worked at Carswell Air Force Base in Fort Worth, which was how they came to Fort Worth where my mom and I eventually met them. Mom met Dad through a mutual friend while I met Paul through a bulletin board system (BBS).
This sounds old — but I was swamped this week as I had a lot of volunteer stuff going on yesterday and today… so letcha getcha hot links now.
Brain food…
- Rockmelt Is Facebook’s Browser?: I read about Rockmelt and wondered why anyone would want to create another browser even with Netscape’s Marc Andreesen behind it. Also, it only works with Facebook. My prediction: other browsers will adopt some of the ideas presented in Rockmelt. Can’t see Rockmelt joining the biggies. [Link: Alan K'necht]
- Getting Your Foot in the Door with Fillers: Less pressure to come up with a full fledged article and a good way to build up a little portfolio. Key: READ the publication before you query. Can’t tell you how many times people (that I don’t consider writers) break that rule.
- 5 Staggeringly Simple Ways to Create Custom Facebook Landing Tabs: I need to think about how I can help a nonprofit org do this. Ah… time.
- Stick a Fork in Me: I’ve been fortunate to have payment issues only twice in the 10 years I’ve been in business. Disgusted at how Lori’s clients are treating her. Every writer should read this post.
- What Will the Future of Business Cards Look Like: Just wrote an advice column on this topic. Need a cross-platform solution.
And for fun because we’re allowed…
- Coin Sofa. Well, that’s something I can do with my dad’s coin collection… build things. [Link: Guy Kawasaki]
- 25 Nostalgic Photos Comparing Past to the Present: If you could do one of these… what would you choose? I’d choose my childhood home in Fort Worth.
- 15 Hilarious Newspaper Mistakes and Apology Notes: Bonus points for the first one. Gotta be a cool crew because they can laugh at their mistakes.
One final note… I’m disappointed in my local newspaper. They won’t print a free weekly TV guide anymore. Now they’re charging $0.75 per week. No, thanks. At least, I still subscribe… you should be happy to have subscribers … not add another reason for us to stop reading.
How do you start your day? I still start mine with print newspaper and a small cuppa coffay.
