A picture worth 100 words
Thursday, June 19th, 2008Making a stop at?the Wordle playstation. I fed it the first ten chapters of my in-progress novel (seriously, I should just change the title to In Progress). Here’s a graphic depiction of the 100 most frequently used words. Of course, being me, I had to tweak the offered colors to make them more appropriate. Because I always have to tinker.
Hmmn, wonder who the protagonists are? (Click image to view larger.)

I hear summer in the breeze
Monday, April 14th, 2008
One of my co-workers is planning a summer kick-off barbecue and pool party on June 21st, and?I’ve been “volunteered” to supply the music. The request is for a minimum of four hours of tunes, appropriately summerish. Having been a SoCal teenager in the ’60s, I’ve got the whole Beach Boys/surf music aspect covered. But I want to keep the music varied, and at least half the guests will be under the age of 40, so I want more recent tunes as well.
Help me out by posting all your favorite summer songs in the comments. Or even any you can think of, favorite or not. Include the artist if you can, so I can find it easier. I’ve put up a page with the list on it, so you can see what songs have already been suggested.
This may be tougher for those of you still getting snow …
