Jackie wanted a new design for her blog. I wanted to do something that was attractive, but also kind of a Web 2.0 spoof, as Jackie is such a 2.0 maven. She is an epic twitterer (got me started this weekend), hence the reference to the twitter logo. She told me she loved sunbeams, too…. […]

I’ve been busy not being a writer for some time now. After fifteen years of freelancing pretty steadily, even keeping my hand in the game while working full time as an editor, my brain declared its intention to lie fallow for a season or two.
