Back home in Singapore. Going to try and experience a bit of the first-ever Youth Olympic Games, catch up on emails and business. Then...? Who knows? Several options are open to me for September.
The Conference was amazing. It's great to see old friends and fresh, excited, new people. That's what it's all about! I don't expect to be back in the US until sometime in 2011. Besides, every time I go back I get sick -- that's enough to keep me away from the States. Ugh.
My Tweets- amanda_brooks: @AllyFiesta Yes. Very. It's anti-prostitution rhetoric under the guise of anti sex trafficking.
- amanda_brooks: @Doctor_David I'm going to. Part of the big plan. :)
- amanda_brooks: Finished "The Industrial Vagina" by Shelia Jeffreys. This is not a book to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.
- amanda_brooks: @Riley_Nicole Thank you! On its way. Slowwwwlllllyyyyy :)
- amanda_brooks: @thebellasecret Thank you! I discussed it from a marketing perspective but not a "what do you do with the time?" perspective. Blog idea!

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.
