Back in Singapore. Feels a lot like home.
Catching up on things, working, planning trips. Looking forward to enjoying Asia and Australia/New Zealand. Next time I plan on being back in the US? Vegas in July for the Desiree Alliance conference.

I've discovered the pleasure of working with Brian Gardner's WP themes. His Revolution is mind-blowing and he's actually a nice guy. Although his work is easy to use right out of the box, there's infinite fun to be had by customizing (i.e., destroying) it. As you can see here.

[...] Brooks presents an independent press success story posted at After Hours. What it takes to make a small press [...]
it is good to hear a success story like this. The comment about “not having spent his life in archeology….” and the reaction he got because of it is exactly the sort of thing was talking about having run into in one of the earlier comments I made, even though his book’s topic is different. Has he continued to do so well since you first wrote this?
Lee,
Oh, you’ve run into those reactions already? Glad you liked this post, then!
Though he and his partners did well with the book, the main partner in the company squandered their resources and the company folded. They did a book #2 before that happened though. Now my client is branching out on his own into photography and will probably start his own publishing company — now that he has a taste of what to do.
He’s following his passions in life and thriving, instead of working merely to pay bills. A success story indeed.
