The Professional and Web 2.0

Xandra | April 16, 2009

There’s a very hot question making the rounds now, and not just in Romancelandia, or even Author Acres, that oddly-gated subdivision where no one’s really sure if the gates are there to keep others out…or to keep the authors in (hey, why are the bars on the insides of the windows? And why are [...]

The Electronic Marketplace

Xandra | December 31, 2008

So in the course of my little mini-vacation, I’ve been reading up on the business end of the world of internet publishing, as part of the whole freak-out mode of, “Oh crap the economy’s going for a global swirly and WTF do we all do about it?”  Because like it or not (and I’m not [...]

Go Now…Srsly…Before It Goes Away

Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.
Just taught me a little more about plotting than…oh, everything.

So…I’m a Pretzel. And a Rock Gawd.

That’s the verdict. 4-6 weeks of twice-a-week therapy and adjustments, then PT until I’m no longer bent and I can feel again. Yeesh. All this from having Zoolander Syndrome (I can’t turn left, although it’s actually right, so maybe it’s reverse-Zoolander syndrome). Or maybe Mister Spock and I have some unfinished [...]

NerdGASM!

Xandra | December 5, 2007

I’m a technerd. I admit it. I don’t have many of the trappings of overt technerdity as one might expect, but rather, I’m more of a ninja technerd type–I prowl and stalk the gadgets until I can no longer resist their siren call…and then I haunt the sales so I can get ‘em [...]

Wacky Wiki Wackiness

Xandra | November 16, 2007

At the risk of having tomatoes tossed at me, I use Wikipedia a lot for brief reference look-ups and starting points from which to jump off when I get a bug up my ass about a subject.  I also cruise Wiki’s homepage every so often, and today’s random “On this day in…” selection proved to [...]

Wow. Just wow. It’s a long watch, but oh-so-worth it.

Website Identity Crisis

Xandra | August 21, 2007

Yes, I know. The site suffered through several schizophrenic episodes over the past week while I putzed around with my new layout. There are several reasons, one of which has to do with me simultaneously cursing and loving on widgets with the hate/love of a thousand burning suns. Or at least a [...]

In the Boonies (TM), No One Can Check Your E-mail

Xandra | January 23, 2007

So…I’m moving to the Boonies (TM) next week. We didn’t originally call it The Boonies, and it really isn’t as full of Boonie-goodness as it could be. I mean, we still get city water and the trash gets picked up. Plus, we got us one of them indoor-outhouses. More’n one, in [...]
