Google Logo as Bar Code
Google’s logo is a bar code today (to celebrate the invention of the bar code). I scanned it with my Android phone to see what it meant:

My Turn as the Crafts Editor at a Smut Publisher
In a recent email exchange with a prospective author and an editorial colleague, I mentioned how I’d spent some time away from my current employer before returning as the prodigal editor for the series I’m working on now. When the author asked where I’d been and why, I just said that it was kind of a long story but that I’d be happy to tell it if he was interested. When my fellow editor added, “It is a very cool story, and if I recall correctly, there’s at least one kinky book involved,” it struck me that it was indeed a pretty good yarn, one which more than just this particular author might get a kick out of.
Whether out of embarrassment, hesitation to speak ill (or say things that might be interpreted that way, just because of the content) of a previous employer, or just because of a need to put the experience behind me, I’ve been publicly silent on the topic of my brief hiatus, but enough time has gone by that I think I can safely tell the tale to a wider audience. Still, because I generally intend this blog to be appropriate for all audiences, I think I’ll use the “Continue Reading” link for the first time ever on this particular post.

Running Boston Marathon for Cancer Research
UPDATE: My Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge fundraising page is ready to accept donations. Thanks in advance for your support!
Exactly two weeks ago today, I started a new training videoblog. Beyond moving all running-specific chatter away from my main personal site here, I had another specific purpose in mind, which I didn’t reveal at the time because my plan required acceptance of an application I’d filed on that same day. I received that acceptance today, and I’m excited to share the news with my followers here, in the hopes that you’ll also follow and support me over there.
