Kindle Contest
I am actually quite disappointed that there has not been a bigger response to my Kindle / Short Story Contest. It’s only been a day, but we will see where this goes. I really hope to get at LEAST 10 short stories. But as of now, only a few people have shown any interest.

Or… you can help me spread the word and make this the best short story contest of 2010!

I am holding pink pages in my hand, reviewing them before I collate them into my script. A magic battle ensues between Wil and Bert (fireballs, energy bolts, conjured beasts, etc.) I look at the script again, to make sure I haven’t misread it. Yeah, it rea...

The post about the dark mode toggle reminded me of two similar things rattling in my brain. On the positive side, here’s a delightful interaction from macOS. I can easily maximize the window to take up half the screen, but the moment I start dragging it, i...
