I’ve come across a few items on the internet that may be of interest to you, so here they are:
Gateway to Research Resources
The blog Write to Done carries a recent guest column by Clay Collins which is the best post I’ve seen anywhere about the various online options for serious research. I do tons of online research, but Gary has uncovered routes I’ve never heard of. This post deserves a bookmark on your browser for easy access.
From Blog To Book
The New York Times has published an article about yet another blogger who has been signed to a big book deal. Talk about a “fast track”! Christian Lander launched his blog only in January, and by late March he had a $300,000 book deal.
One insider quoted in the article suggested that there’s a trend developing among literary agents to scour the internet blog world for potential books and authors. Read the details here.
By the way, nobody has called me yet.
Organizing Your Start Menu
Yesterday I noticed a sidebar ad at CNET for a how-to video on organizing one’s cluttered Start Menu. A cluttered Start Menu truly slows me down enough that I’ve done something about it on my system. I’ve written about that task a couple of times already, but the topic deserves occasional revisits.
Today I went in search of that sidebar ad, but it had rotated off the page. A Yahoo search turned up something similar, from months back — I thought it worth sharing. The demo how-to is at Lifehacker.
