One Question
Just One Question Interview time, just one question. Imagine it’s an interview, but you only get to ask one question. What’s the question? Just One Question The idea is, as a correspondent, I’m allowed just one question. “I know my rights, I’m allowed one phone call!” Yeah, not what this about. In an interview or [...]
Apples and iPads
The ubiquitous i-devices. Scanning the morning news, I happened across an oblique item that’s an echo, reverberating through the canyons of the inter-webs. The persistent Apple rumor industry is buzzing with two potential updates, one is the i-thing OS, and the other that I’m intrigued with, is the update to the ‘office-suite’ of programs, iWorks’ [...]

Letters to a young astrologer
This entry reminded me of myself, as I was a (self-styled) “Mac Consultant” for some time. Gradually, that’s shifted into full-time “nothing but net” astrofish.net astrology.

Miscellaneous: New movie version, Much Ado About Nothing and Austin in the new iPhone ad? I knew that view — from the spot between the SRV statue [...]
Quick Google Note

You can find me on several similar sites: Here’s the deal, I don’t necessarily spend time there. Easiest way to connect is via email. I cannot stress enough, the joy and legal freedom that [...]
Happy Songs from Rattlesnake Gulch
Happy Songs from Rattlesnake Gulch – This one is an old album, copyright says 2007, from Austin’s Joe Ely. Not a native, he’s originally from Lubbock, and a founding member of the Flatlanders, whose album, “More a myth than band,” kind of sums up that story. Seen him live a number of times, on stage, [...]
Rough Statistics
Rough Statistics The basic numbers, “hits,” as it were, the rough statistics break down something like this, 10K a week for astrofish.net while astrofish.co.uk, BexarCountyLine.com, and this new home, SkyFriday.com all come in just shy of 2K each. The three, second tier sites, support sites, combined, they still don’t come up to what the main [...]
