I need good business cards, cheap, and without murder

Posted inUncategorized
Business cards are still a thing for some damn reason. I've had them over the years in my capacity as an editor, journalist, social media dude & advertising agency guy, and so on, but I do not have them as a freelancer. Just never really needed them, since most of my business comes by referral. I feel like I've got to remedy that, though, and they've got to look professional. And design, maybe. I probably need a good, basic, but attractive design. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cISYzA36-ZY So your recommendations are not only welcome, I'm asking for them! There are a million and a…

But his rant wasn't a plea to help them or a rant decrying the conditions that have made them homeless in the first place.

Why did I stop reading books?

Posted inBooks & Authors, Uncategorized
After never being away from a book for more than a few days at a time my entire life, the last year has been devoid of finished books. What went wrong? If that sounds like the setup for a piece that is going to explore some interesting ideas about reading, let me spoil it for you: It's not. I genuinely ran into a wall. Not for lack of trying. I read on a daily basis, often for work (research, etc.), and regularly for pleasure. I subscribe to a number of magazines -- yes, print magazines are still a thing! --…
