There’s one website I check out every single day — Giveaway of the Day. They offer a commercial software package for a free download every day. Usually, what they offer is video or sound converters. Because, yes, the world needs more video converters. Sometimes, though, they offer something really worthwhile. Like this. Liquid Story BinderContinue reading “On a Free Tool For Writers”

On the Tuesday Feeling
I woke this morning… …and had no idea what day it was. The idea that today was Tuesday was simple inconceivable to me. I don’t know what day I thought it was, but Tuesday it was not. Could it be that I got up with the alarm, rather than hit the Snooze button the two,Continue reading “On the Tuesday Feeling”
On This Day In Blog History
A meme, because I can’t think of anything else to write. 😉 (Actually, that’s not true. I wrote a blog post on the subway this morning. I just haven’t typed it up yet.) 3 July 2008 — That would be this. 3 July 2007 — On Doctor Who Podcasts, wherein I discuss my discovery ofContinue reading “On This Day In Blog History”
On Comics Musings
I’ve never had any real interest in writing comics. Except for Hawkman. I don’t know what it is about Hawkman, but I just love Hawkman. In particular, I love what Tim Truman, John Ostrander, and Graham Nolan did on Hawkworld in the early 1990s, even though that’s the point where DC Comics took Hawkman continuityContinue reading “On Comics Musings”
On Reviews
Reviews of Doctor Who: Short Trips: The Quality of Leadership have begun to turn up, and I’ve been remiss in linking to them. Unreality SF, a UK-based review site, has two reviews of the book. One is by Dan, the other by Jens. Both reviews break the anthology down story by story, and both provideContinue reading “On Reviews”
On Literary Musings
I’m always a few days behind on Doctor Who. It can’t be helped, really. And me, being me, I knew a fair little bit about Dr. River Song long before I’d gotten around to finally seeing “Silence in the Library.” And what I’d heard and read made me think of a single thing — TheContinue reading “On Literary Musings”
On Melting
Today, it’s been a melty sort of day. My brain melted. I wrote. I wrote a lot. A lot of what I wrote is even good. All told, it was a 12k day. But, that takes a lot out of the gray matter. It leaves it melty. My body melted. For some reason, today CharmContinue reading “On Melting”
On Geeking Out
I had two packages waiting for me at home when I got home from work last night. One was from WhoNA. The other, a surprise, was from the UK. I’d received my contributor’s copy of Doctor Who: Short Trips: The Quality of Leadership. And, because I’d ordered one from WhoNA earlier in the week, thinkingContinue reading “On Geeking Out”
On Frustrations with Word
Sometimes I just don’t get Microsoft Word. It decided, for some reason, that several paragraphs were misspelled. The entire paragraphs. Words like “the” were, at least according to Word, misspelled in those two paragraphs. Everything was underlined in red. I decided to run a spellcheck on the entire document. Perhaps, I thought, this would kickContinue reading “On Frustrations with Word”
On Words I’ve Used Today
“Inhumanization.” Hum. I think I’m going to change that to “dehumanization.” No, I like “inhumanization.” It’s less well known.
