I read this in a newsgroup today. Someone trying to be technical without really knowing what they are talking about."What happens next time the logorythems change in Google?" ... logorythems?Seeing how I needed to post about something today, I recall a conversation my wife and I had the other day. She really hates it when she starts to tell me something and I say "oh yeah, I heard that, or oh yeah I read that..." It drives her crazy. I have really been trying hard to let her tell me things she learns. It's important that she...

Thinking about writing a book
I've had this idea about writing a series of books. My Father actually put the seed in my head. His idea was very simplistic and made some sense, but of course I felt like I had no time for a new project.My thoughts have been on what value could I offer in a book, and what would the topics be. My Fathers idea? "Write about what you know. You're a successful Father, raising children, working a job, running a business. You have a lot of experience and insight that could be shared."

Setting out to find a solution brought me to...
