Submission Update I’m a little late with the newsletter, but I was holding up for some news- I had submitted Contingency to a contest with a grand prize of getting it in front of an agent. The results are in and once again, I was not a finalist. So everything is in pause mode while I figure out what’s next, like whether or not I have a writing career.

A New School Year

You know the feeling- just about the time you get a good system down, something major comes along, and everything has to be reordered. Last year, I homeschooled, but I wasn’t blogging or newsletter-ing. When I get a staff, we’ll smooth out all these things. Until then, I’ll do what I can, and let the rest go. That’s not a bad way to operate.

Two new FireFox add-ins this month- ShareThis and Mr. Tweet.

ShareThis is a quick easy way to point your friends to websites you find. I’ve used it to send news articles and other handy info. You can target who send to by using email, or you can broadcast it on Twitter, Facebook or other share services.

I already used Mr. Tweet, but I installed the Firefox add-in. If you don’t Twitter, I can’t explain it. If you, it gives a wealth of information right on the profile page, shows embedded pics and videos, and my favorite, it shows conversations. That way you see which tweet the @reply connects to. It’s a good service made even better.

A New School Year

New Nerd Things

I’ll be returning to the classroom this month, doing science for the 7th year!

I’m helping coach football! (Flag football… 8, 9 & 10 yr old boys.)

I’ve run for eight weeks now. I have some very cool shirts. Still waiting for the pounds to drop off. Still… waiting…

And my sister would want you to know- she turns 24 on the 29th.
