Think of them as the tour-guide version of Patsy and Edina from Absolutely Fabulous-if those two ever were sober enough to write a book. Knowing that the agenda of the average gay or lesbian traveler is a bit different from that of Mom and Pop Smith from Des Moines, Jeffrey Epstein and Eddie Shapiro proffer a guide book to the Disney resorts that specifically caters to gay and lesbian readers.

The Thoughts That Run Through An Author's Mind, Regarding The Amazon/POD Publishing War

Cover image

What Does Amazon's Current Initiative Mean To Independant POD Authors?


That is the question I've been asking myself.. and of Lulu.com's live chat support folks. When asked directly, whether Amazon/BookSurge will be printing my book, I received a very round about answer, essentially stating that books sold through Lulu.com will be printed by Lulu's printers, while books ordered through the distribution chain will be handled by the distribution chain printers, which Lulu has partnered with.


After some 15-20 minutes of chatting with a service rep, I could not get them to mention or answer anything directly, about Amazon. Which... is what one would expect, when you consider that it seems the contractual agreements between Amazon and any POD that has signed n with them states they are essentially prevented from talking about the relationship, either directly or indirectly.

Blogging Is The Wave Of The Future... Again.. and Again.. and Again...

On The Matter of "Cruft"

For those who know me, I have a habit of building out a sizable online footprint, then after a year or so, just retract them back, save for a handful, which I migrate or rebuild. Part of this exercise is due to hosting migrations, but part of it is to clear out "cruft" that builds up on my sites.

By cruft, I mean... posts which really don't add much value to the site, for me, or for people visiting and reading the site.

However, what survives has a tendency to be improved upon, even if it seems worse off at first.

This site is a new site. :) So thankfully, it has no bar by which it is being judged.

However, my other blogging sites do have a history.. and a good deal of "cruft".  read more »
