Co-op Fees

I can’t talk about this using my real persona because everyone will stop doing business with me. So — a business rant today!

Kindle’s Dark Heart

Having pissed off a bunch of folks with my last article about Amazon’s alarmingly autocratic actions, I feel the need to apologize. I do acknowledge that a small percentage of Kindle owners can, in fact, read at least at the third grade level. Since I’m inspired to say the above, I’ll go ahead and make […]


Kindlenomics

I suppose we’ve all been following this Kindle bullshit, right? If not, you can go read this article, and this one has a roundup of what the media’s been reporting.

His life entered one of those phases I equate to the turning of […]


An Interview with Nacho

Or, rather, with my more respectable real life persona.  When I’m not out fighting crime as Nacho Sasha, I’m ranting about publishing.  Part one of my interview is right here.
