A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely fool-proof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
Douglas Adams

the name game (again)

One author/blogger wanted to buy her name as a domain, but it was “taken by a hooker in Vegas.” What’s funny is that I know this “hooker.”

If I were the author, I’d look into some sort of promotional stunt. Why not? Having a sexy blonde schilling for you works for beer companies. If I find an escort called Amanda Brooks, I’m definitely sending her an email. (If I were to return to escort work, I’d use another name. I like defined boundaries.)

There is another Texas Golden Girl out there — I’m not sure if she’s commented here or emailed me. I believe so (or I may be confusing her with another person). At least she doesn’t have any issues with me living my life online.

There really isn’t any point to this post, it’s just me watching people bump into each other online.

      Book #2 is on its way. Slowly. But getting there.

      I'm finally ready to rejoin life. Slowly, too.

      I've discovered the pleasure of working with Brian Gardner's WP themes. His free stuff is nearly flawless and his more expensive stuff is mind-blowing. 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.
