I came across some of these little factoids just recently, and some of them I’ve known for a while, but they all add up to an interesting insight about shopping for books. It doesn’t matter where you live on the ball, you can still browse through Amazon.com. Depending on where you’re located on the globe,

A few days ago I was talking about how Carson’s Night came to be, and promised the full story later. I’ve updated and re-uploaded the article, “The Blood, Sweat and Gritty-Eyed Truth Behind Carson’s Night“, and linked it to the Articles page, which is looking pretty empty right now — updating and uploading articles will

Sometimes the passage of time sneaks up on you and smacks you in the face. Actually, not just sometimes, but usually it likes to knock you off your feet, just to keep you humble. I was talking to a long time reader of mine via email the other day and she mentioned that she “discovered”
