From the page: First and foremost, fiction is written to be read. ItâÂs not written to make millions of dollars (although that would be nice). ItâÂs not written to be corporatized, monetized, franchised, or any other âÂizedâÂ. Fiction is an intimate communication between an author and a reader. The reading takes place in oneâÂs home, in their bathtub, tucked into bed, quiet moments at your desk or even on precious few breaks in the day. Books are passed from person to person. With the drama and fretting about licensure, the relationship between authors and readers has been disrupted, perverted in some ways. People feel guilty for giving their friends books or selling a used book. Books are meant to be shared in the same way that fiction is meant to be read.

From the page: "Since it is capable of cycling from a mature adult stage to an immature polyp stage and back again, there may be no natural limit to its life span. Scientists say the hydrozoan jellyfish is the only known animal that can repeatedly turn back the hands of time and revert to its polyp state (its first stage of life). "

From the page: "This may sound weird to you, but if you look across all sorts of fields of knowledge, they all converge around a single number. 10,000 hours. Here's the kicker. Social media is such a new field, that people could not have been expert practitioners until recently."

From the page: "In the end, I decided just to be myself, Paul Chaney. If there are services that I can't provide personally, such as Web design, I'll broker them out to a select group of trusted partners. So, here I am, simply Paul Chaney, Internet marketing consultant, trainer, speaker and author. It's a pretty good fit, don't you think?"

From the page: "We set ourselves 'destinations' and 'stops'. Make ourselves lists to 'check off', and goals to 'reach'. But all too often, in the mindless quest to get there, we miss enjoying many lovely things along the way. Like health. And relationships. People and places, events and experiences, interactions and intimacies. Small things. And sometimes even big ones."

From the page: GlueCon and CloudCamp Denver are next week, so I'm making my list and checking it twice. I don't want to realize the day before the conference that I don't have business cards, dry-cleaned clothes, or a dog walker. Not to mention be clueless about fellow attendees! Passionate about cloud-based productivity tools, I am leveraging them for an awesome experience! And if you are getting ready, for any conference, this is my primer for you.

Know anyone who's looking for a job? Are they a PHP architect? Why not refer them to SU? Even better, if they get the job, both of you will be smiling, since SU's offering $10,000 as a referral bonus! Hmm, think I need to go find a PHP architect to point towards SU. :)

From the page: Gist finds and organizes social data and puts it at your finger tips. Gist offers a number of ways to organize your contacts- tags, by importance/frequency of information flow and good old alphabetization. For each person, there are the standard fields for phone, address, etc., but Gist goes social by adding fields for LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, RSS feeds, etc. Their search engine is so powerful that in some cases, when adding in a new contact's name it immediately finds their twitter and LinkedIn info and adds it automatically!

How many of you send your RSS feeds to a range of social media destinations via TwitterFeed or FeedMy Twitter? Now let's move on to the harder question. Does anyone know how these companies survive financially or plan to be around this time next year?"

I must say, after witnessing the delight in the faces of those little Afghan girls crowded three to a desk waiting to learn, I found it very hard to write, 'Let's just get out of here.'"

From the page: "We need journalists to get at the truth and to keep watch against abuses of power. They have a hard enough time getting that right. So let's absolve them of the responsibility of charity or iconoclasm. If journalists want to comfort the afflicted, they should send money to the Red Cross."

From the page: "The exact definition of a guru is: "is a person who is regarded as having great knowledge, wisdom and authority in a certain area, and uses it to guide others. A guru is literally a preceptor who shows others knowledge (light) and destroys ignorance (darkness)". This definition lead me to think of all the so-called gurus I bump into on Twitter and other social media sites and of how annoying it can be to find hundreds of self acclaimed gurus with no proof or record of their expertise!"

From the page: "Natasha first came to Canada when she was 7 years old. A small, thin child with red hair, wearing a dress that was too big, carrying a plastic shopping bag (her luggage) was our first impression. Our welcome gift to her was a large white teddy bear. She took it, hugged it tightly and said "Spaciba"Â (Thank you in Russian). We fell in love right away! "
