I had one of these break within a few days of purchase. It's a no for me.

I just released my SAT Writing textbook: https://www.amazon.com/Matthews-Guide-Digital-SAT-Writing/dp...

It took me two and a half years to finish. Now I've got to market it.


Very well said. There really should be a public option. Large scale PBS for the internet.


You mean a public digital commons owned by the people instead of malls we could be kicked out of any time?


Recently I've been thinking about deconstructing a ThinkPad and putting the internals inside a MIDI controller. We're at the stage where VSTs/DAWs easily sound better than any synthesizer with internal sounds. But, it's a huge pain to carry a laptop and a sound card to a gig. When will someone address this?


Can I run this on my laptop?


Yep!


I'd love to see this for English grammar


Well it was founded as a non-profit


Well, technically they still haven't profited har har har


I think one thing that this article misses out on is that people are more and more likely to have many careers over a lifetime. In my case, I was a teacher, then a technical writer, then a teacher again. And now I'm shifting into curriculum development. The skills built in my different careers all have complemented each other, and I don't feel as if any of them are my one and only "dream job."


In your case the jobs look closely related, don't they?


My first thought when I read this, and it may very well be misinformed, was that she is probably using a team of ghostwriters. Many novelists at that level are. Your name just becomes a brand at a certain point.


People always say that about productive writers


Would it be possible to create a web browser where different tabs are running other browsers? Like I could have chrome in one tab and Firefox in another? Almost like a VM?


You used to have an activeX plugin for internet explorer that would selectively render certain sites using google chrome
