Back from a couple days at Book Expo Canada in Toronto and here are some random thoughts… – if you've never been, how the Book Expo trade show works is basically you walk around a huge trade show (200+ exhibitors?) and all the publishers and other writing organizations have booths promoting their books, authors and […]
I'm off to Book Expo Canada on Sunday and Monday. I went once before in 1999 or 2000 and it was a blast – Jack Stoddart marched an elephant through the trade show area as a publicity stunt, I got my photo with what was, at the time, the world's largest book, I got a […]

We could also rent a 7-passenger van for $342 which […]
I've posted a survey of the “Best of London” on the message board that Lauralee Gilmour set-up. I'd encourage everybody who reads this who is (or was) in London to sign up for an account on that message board and fill it out. It would be great to have a collected wisdom about the best […]
My fellow blogger and former co-worker, Cenobyte sent me this: Why I Hate Personal Weblogs Here's an excerpt the author of this article suggested that bloggers should post at least once a month:Statement of Audience I realize that nothing I say matters to anyone else on the entire planet. My opinions are useless and unfocused. […]
