Personal Update (2/20/10)
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 will be unreachable via any of my US numbers but email always works. My international number will change with every country.

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.

Sex Workers on Ning
Here’s my Amazon.com review (hope you like it!):
Imagine being fascinated by a certain type of secretive, specialized job you previously knew very little about. Misinformation is prevalent yet real, detailed, honest information hard to come by.
Then imagine your new best friend turns out to work in this very field. And she sits you down and explains everything you could ever want to know about certain aspects of it, in the simplest language possible, yet without oversimplifying anything. She then offers to train you, with perfectly laid out detailed instruction, packed with vital, relevant information gleaned from her many years of personal experience. This includes valuable technical know-how taught in such a way that even the least tech-savvy person could grasp it. When she’s done, not only is your curiosity completely satisfied, you feel totally prepared to launch confidently into the career yourself.
That’s how you’ll probably feel after reading this. I could hardly believe it was a 400 page “How To” manual because it was such an interesting, smooth and easy read. It was like having a long, fascinating lunch with my new best friend and colleague.
African tit (the bird)
I chuckled when I realized it was necessary on this blog to explain that it was indeed a bird you were referring to.
Alexa,
One of the hazards of writing for mostly American readers.

Casey,
Damn! Thank you! I’m blushing. That will look great on Amazon. And who knows, one day you might decide to get a website and put your blog on your own domain, sell books and do who knows what?

agree with africa tit

Hey Amanda. We met a week or so ago via a mutual friend John. Being an old bloke I’ve not quite figured out how all this blogging and Myspace stuff really hangs together yet. I sent a mail via Myspace and also to your golden girls press email address. Could you take a look at it for me. Cheers……
