What’s Going on @ Sillydog Media

I recently wrote a book called “For the Public Good: Starting an Eduational or Research Non-profit Organization.” You can read excerpts of it online. I still don’t know where to get ahold of one of these eBooks, but I’ll let you know as soon as I find out.

When I started, I thought I was in way over my head. The task seemed enormous. It took me like two days to get a proper outline. I even called my mom, the former Accountant’s Assistant, Bookkeeper and Trust Officer and asked her what she knew about it. Nothing it turns out. She did, however, challenge the assumptions that I had made when I first pitched the book to DocRocket, and much to my pleasure, found out that I’d learned more than I thought during the course of my very slow research on my poor, old laptop.

“Fine then,” I said to no one in particuluar when I hung up the phone. “I can write a book about this.” And, I did.

I also updated the Books & Goods section of the website

Yeah, you know me, just hangin’ around… .

My normal computer just decided to work today after being down for over a month, leaving me to work and search for work on my 10-year-old laptop computer, that did its gallant best. However, it could take as long as 10 min to load some webpages, and that makes research very slow. No multiple windows. Either mail or browsing could be open, not both, and I had to compose everything in textpad to take to Matt’s computer for spell-checking. Uff da! I’ve missed my desktop very, very much.

As such, I would have told you last week about some reviews I did for wCities, including the darling of local media, Lovely Hula Hands and, a pretty decent jazz club with a crazy good beer selection, The Blue Monk.

My current projects for this month have also included two eBooks. The first one was done on the 15th, called, Ecological Niche Marketing, and is about 150 standard pages. The second one, I got a bit of an extension to finish. It’s called, Setting Up Your Educational or Research Non-Profit (catchy, no?) and should be about 100 standard pages, hopefully done in the next few days. More on those later when I find out where you can buy them.

I wrote a few last year, too. One, Upcycling for Art and Profit, turned out espcecially nice, or so I thought, and I don’t know where to find that one either. I’ll keep you posted.
