While I generally avoid discussing politics on the internet, I apparently have no problem discussing the subject at length in personal emails.

So, of course, I’m pondering starting a newsletter.


A reminder about my daughter and her friend’s Pink Heart Project (Hopefully the post works this time):

The Pink Heart Project on April 25th — Draw a Pink Heart on the back of your hand to show support for survivors of SA/SH

Just wrote the first essay for my next book.


No sooner than I update my Now Page with a rant about how long it was taking Amazon to approve the Kindle version on my new book that I finally get notice from Amazon that it is live.

I’ve already submitted an update with a number of formatting improvements. So, hopefully, official release soon.


Amazon is taking for-freakin'-ever to approve the Kindle version and even when they do I have another much better formatted version to replace that one with which means waiting for them again and I’m about ready to just say screw it and announce the book without a Kindle version because I’m tired of it hanging over me.


Other proud Dad moment of the day…

Beatrix and her friend Elzie created something they call the Pink Heart Project last year and it was a locally viral success and they are doing it again. It is in recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness month. The plan is as follows:

For this project, we are asking people to draw pink hearts on the backs of their hands on April 25th to show support and raise awareness of victims of sexual assault.

Feel free to join in.


So damn proud of this kid…

Now, to try to convince her that she really is a scientist (despite her desire to be an actress, her best grades in high school have consistently been in science and math).


My superpower is using a custom script in my my clipboard manager to strip the utm_source from the url before I paste it into the browser.


It should surprise no one to know that my favorite reading experience for the eBook edition of For You is the ePub on Apple’s Books app on my iPhone 12 mini.

It looks right there. Not just the typography but also it’s the right size book for such a device.


This page is not yet done. Still waiting for the Kindle version to be “approved” by Amazon. But the ePub and Paperback links work.

Consider this a soft launch
