Noble Pen Meeting

May 13th, 2010
Happy Chef, 1906 Blairs Ferry Rd NE, Cedar Rapids

Sure I’ve been called a xenophobe, but the truth is I’m not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and all the other countries aren’t as good. That used to be called patriotism.
–Kenny Powers, Eastbound & Down

Victories

A small press editor got back to me on my “Panic No More” project. He said it showed promise but decided to pass. I thanked him for his input and then reported him to Homeland Security as a possible enemy combatant.

News

As they say in Bad Boys, shit just got real. Google has announced a new ebook service which will launch this summer. While not everything Google does is a game-changer–I’m looking at  you Orkut, they certainly are above the curve. (Actually, I hear Orkut is huge in Brazil.)
