I’ll be on vacation* in Mexico starting tomorrow, our annual Super Bowl weekend trip (wife and kids and I have been doing this now for 8 years; the resorts set up a wide screen on the beach, cook out, and so on – far superior to someone’s stinky basement to watch the game). But with …

From the writing (probably the easiest part), to the e-book formatting, to the cover layout, to the paperback formatting, to the pricing, to the marketing, to the reporting. And while it would be nice to sit in a cutesy ivory …

Nine capsules shot towards the surface of Poliahu at over seven G’s. After the initial shock, …

I’ll preface this post by saying “Don’t judge me”. No seriously, don’t judge. I take my “me time” wherever and whenever I can get it, whether it’s a quick lunch at Barnes & Noble with the laptop, or a coffee at Panera with the tablet, or as in this case, a single beer at Chili’s …
