Page of True Stories

4-8-2007 016

I added a page to the site where I can showcase my writing.

I added one new piece and put some links top stuff I’ve already discussed in other posts. The title of the new essay is 20/20. This one earned kind comments from an editor who rejected it. I hope you like it.

On the new page, I’ve got links to the New York Times article and to my essay on Brevity. I believe my Brevity story is going to come down at some point, so I thought I’d get some other stuff posted. I added two stories from my childhood memoir project that I previously posted, but now on pages of their own. 

Things still looks a little sparse, so I’ll try and get some other stuff up soon.

Ramblin Man

I got The Complete Led Zeppelin for $9.99 at Rhapsody, RealNetwork’s music service. That’s 165 MP3 files encoded at 256 kbps with no DRM for less than 10 dollars. It must have been some sort of goof up because they have raised the price to $59.99. I love MP3 with no DRM. You never know when a DRM provider is going to change the standard, go out of business, or abandon their technology.
