Does God Get Angry? Or Does He Love Us?
Here’s one of those blog comments I started to write, and then I discovered I was getting so deeply into it, I had to write a blog post. Ben Arment on his trés kewl blog, History in the Making, posted a couple links to a theological controversy that’s been making the Internet. It’s one of […]
Reason #217 Why Google AdWords Makes Me Laugh
A quick one: Ran into this recently on a client’s AdWords campaign. At first, it really confused me. The ads weren’t showing? Why not?! Because they aren’t allowed? Why not? On the “details and recommendations” page, Google provided a link to explain why not… I clicked on the link and discovered it was just their […]
Happy Thanksgiving Wishes
I want to wish everyone in the U.S. a happy Thanksgiving. I myself will be spending the day with family. And I hope that wherever you are, you’ll find love and happiness there. You’ve probably noticed I’m posting much more on this blog of late. That’s because I’m actually writing again… seriously writing. That is, […]
Here’s Talking about Religion and Politics
Here’s something I rarely do on this blog, but since this blog has become more about what makes me unique, and less exclusively about software development and entrepreneurship… Here’s a topic I’m very passionate about, but I rarely have time to write about anymore.

Yesterday I Went Swimming in the Jury Pool
I didn’t mean to. I didn’t want to. I got pushed in, as it were. That’s one of the things I hate about swimming in the jury pool; no one ever does so by choice. The other thing I hate is that it’s filled with shark-infested water. In this age of big-brother paranoia, there are […]
Friday Snippet: The Widow’s Granddaughter (2)
Here’s the second part of “The Widow’s Granddaughter.” This story uses a character, Jeffrey Tanner, I developed as an example for 1001 Character Quirks for Writing Fiction. I also developed the other characters using the same process I describe in that ebook, but Jeffrey is the only character I use as an example. -TimK P.S. […]
What It’s Like to Finally Finish My First eBook
It sounds like such a simple thing. A list of 1001 character quirks for writing fiction. This is a tool I use as part of my own character-building process, because having a list of raw ideas makes it much easier to come up with the right idea at the right time. You might think that […]
Friday Snippet: The Widow’s Granddaughter

I’m not yet firm on the title, but I’m really liking “The Widow’s Granddaughter.” -TimK P.S. Please leave a comment telling me how you like it. WARNING: This story contains strong language […]
