A Quick Look At: Associated Press Stylebook and Libel Manual

This will be anything but professional, and hardly in-depth.

Picture Post: Mementos Of My Job At Mt. Rushmore

I've talked about this particular job a few times here, and it's about time I got around to doing one more post about it that I've been meaning to do for awhile now.

A New Year's Tradition

Well, sort of, anyway.

The Old Laptop

I guess I knew this had to happen eventually.

I Haz A Sad

Not the kind you might think, of course, which is a good thing.  Better yet, a little free-form writing will more than likely help me get through.

College Jobs: Office Max

If the summers I worked at Mt. Rushmore were the best I ever had, the summer I worked at Office Max was the worst.

College Jobs: Mt. Rushmore

Not the first of my college jobs, but certainly my favorite, and most likely one of the best jobs I’ve ever had.

My College Jobs: Introduction

Here's something I've been considering doing for awhile now.  Might as well, just so I'm posting more than just video game stuff.

The Day In General: July 25, 2012

A little busy, but not necessarily in ways I might have wanted to be.

The Character I'd Rather Be

I was actually pretty close once, and I didn't even know it at the time.

From The Old Floppies: Issue #16: "Schriver's Selves"

Back when I was in college, working on my bachelors degree, one thing I was hoping I could possibly do was get published in a science fiction magazine of some sort.  So, I wrote what I thought was a story that would  pass an editorial board and submitted it to a few places.  On the list were Asimov's Magazine, the Sci-Fi Channel's website/e-zine at the time, and a few others that I've since forgotten over the years.  When the first attempt, which you're about to see, failed, I wrote something I thought would be better and tried again.  That attempt didn't work out any better for me, but at least I can say I tried, if nothing else.  I really wish I'd held onto the rejection letters a bit longer, just as mementos, but such was not the case.  More on that, and the other story, as well, may be forthcoming.

For now, though, here's my first attempt at getting something published: the ultra-short story "Schriver's Selves".

========================================================

Back To School...?

Maybe I should go after all...

A Plan In The Works

OK, so maybe I need to rethink what the first of my decade-plus old files will be posted first.

VHS Video Collection

I'd have done this one as a Junk And Stuff entry, but it's not all junk.

Junk And Stuff In My Apartment #4: Pencils

It turns out paper isn't the only thing I have lots of at home.

Not So Young Any More...

I guess I can't be a college boy any more...
