They say a picture is worth a thousand words.  so today’s post is going to be just a bit over that (if you include the actual words).
I present this year’s pumpkins:

I’m a bit under the gun here.  I was actually working, and kinda lost track of time.  Now I’m staring down 40 minutes to make my personally imposed “deadline.”  Let’s see if I can come up with a couple of hundred words.
I think I’ll stick with the tech theme of the past couple of days, [...]

Following up on yesterday’s post…
For those of you contemplating upgrading to Win7, or making any major OS upgrade (be it Mac, Linux, Unix, Solaris, whatev…), here’s some advice i posted on a forum, I thought I’d repost it here, on the off chance somebody reads it.

I wouldn’t exactly call it writer’s block.  Obviously, I can still crank out a few lines.
But I just don’t really have much to talk about tonight.
I suppose I’ll talk about Windows 7.
I haven’t actually installed it on a system yet.  But, oddly, I’m really looking forward to it.  I played around with the beta version [...]

No, really.
I woke up with a head cold to beat all.  Tried to get some work done from home this morning but then just crawled back into bed.  I probably shouldn’t have tried to get some work done because I suspect I fat fingered some imaging in a vain attempt to be productive, and probably [...]

That last post got me thinking a bit, and some reading I did today kind of brought the point home.
Should a writer be bound by ethical constraints?
The libertarian part of me says no.  I’m decidedly against censorship.
At the same time, I do believe in acting responsibly.  Maybe exerting a bit of self censorship.  But probably [...]

Ok, so that’s a poor start.  Two posts, then I miss two days.  I’ll try and make up for it by having something a bit meatier.
When I told my wife I was planning on doing this, writing a post a day, the first thing she wanted to know was “what are you going to write [...]

Ok, so in a way, it’s not really a “Day-cation” because I’ve been on holiday all week.  But in a way, it is, because we took today to do a nice little day trip out to Banff.
And it was great.
The mountains are beautiful this time of year.  Driving out of the city and into the [...]

Ok, how hard could it be?
Post something, anything, at least once a day.  It doesn’t have to be long, or thoughtful, or important.  Just dump at least one idea a day in here.
Really, it shouldn’t be hard.  It should just take some discipline.
Realistically, I have at least one thought per day I wouldn’t mind sharing [...]
