The Age of Self-Publishing Really loving that I live in a time when anyone who wants to be a writer (or do most other kinds of creative work) doesn't have to wait to be given "a chance", but can just do some work and put it out there on the internet. You need to have access to a computer and the spare time, but still the playing field is as level as it's ever going to be. If you've got something to offer, and put in the effort, you'll find an audience eventually. Of course the trick is to know whether you've actually got an appreciable level of talent, because otherwise your efforts will just be sad and embarrassing.:-P

From Professor to Fashion Model. I generally think it's disgusting when companies use an unrelated photo of a long-dead person to push their products, but the guy's son doesn't seem to really mind, and writes some great stuff about his literary parents.

Healthcare,gov does not work on Firefox. It appears that you have to use Internet Explorer. Mrs. pjern was trying to get set up, and kept getting referred to options that didn't appear top exist. She was using an up-to-date, unaltered version of Firefox.

Switch to IE, and all of a sudden, things started working and all the options were there.

Argh. Spread the word.
