I previously purchased a Compaq laptop back in 1999 that served me well, but by now was quite antiquated. The Acer 5315 specs looked promising except for one teensy weensy detail that I was sure I could overlook - Windows Vista.

I approached Drew very late in the process on Age of Conversation and, unfortunately, I could not get content to him in time. Drew and Gavin are back again, and this time I’m not going to miss it! This is quite an undertaking - coordinating a collaborative book with 275 authors - but I have no doubt that it will be a fantastic book with a multitude of 2008-03-24 18:03:43 PDT http://technorati.com/search/www.douglaskarr.com/2008/03/24/hows-this-for-collaboration-275-authors/ 855 1347 http://contentcommunitycommerce.com/2008/03/10/review-join-the-conversation-by-joseph-jaffe/ http://contentcommunitycommerce.com/2008/03/10/review-join-the-conversation-by-joseph-jaffe/ Mon, 10 Mar 2008 07:21:17 -0700 Review: Join the Conversation by Joseph Jaffe Reposted from TroyRutter.com: I realize that I am a tad bit “late” on my review of the book “Join the Conversation” by Joseph Jaffe, but as the saying goes - better late than never.

But if you are denied three times on LinkedIn, you may not get flogged, but your account will get flagged … you will need to enter in a person’s email address in order to send them a Connection Invite. This happens if you send out invites and people click on the “Don’t Know” button instead of ignoring or accepting your LinkedIn attempt.

Back in 1999, while working at Warner Bros., I had the opportunity to conduct an online chat with Heath and his fans. This was for the film “10 Things I Hate About You.” I remember Heath as being witty, fun, and a gracious guest. Below is the transcript. WB Host says: Welcome to Cybertalk!

But like all good things, I got lazy.  Especially during the winter, and then last year I wasn’t working out swordfighting, so I’ve grown and grown.  And now, I seem to be a prou 2007-12-27 05:08:42 PST http://technorati.com/search/troyrutter.com/2007/12/27/sinking-the-fat-tub.html 118 140 TroyRutter.com - New Media Original http://troyrutter.com/2007/11/28/why-i-parted-with-trek.html http://troyrutter.com/2007/11/28/why-i-parted-with-trek.html Wed, 28 Nov 2007 06:42:57 -0800 It lasted through elementary, middle and high school - my fascination, or apparent obsession - with Star Trek. Living in the midwest, the greatest thing that happened every 4 years or so was when Creation Entertainment brought a Star Trek convention to Des Moines. Recently I was tagged by an old friend, J. Erik Potter, with his book meme, and more recently with a post about, well, Star Trek, and how I was always the epitome of a Trekker to him (but not a Trekkie).  The difference is more fully 2007-11-28 06:42:57 PST http://technorati.com/search/troyrutter.com/2007/11/28/why-i-parted-with-trek.html 118 140 TroyRutter.com - New Media Original http://www.jerikpotter.com/2007/11/words-out.html http://www.jerikpotter.com/2007/11/words-out.html Thu, 15 Nov 2007 11:01:25 -0800 Joanna Young over at Confident Writing posed the following questions today: 1. A word or words that you’ve learned, read, noticed, been gifted (through blogging) 2. What it means to you 3. Who you got it from 4.

Its similar to a chain email in that you're forwarded a list of questions, you answer them, then you tag others to answer the same questions.

He forwarded me the casting notice, which said that Deb Copeland of Copeland Creative and Ann Wilkinson of PMS Casting, were going to be holding auditions for the SAG modified low-budget feature film the upcoming weekend. I sent in a resume and a headshot (from my book) and received a reply that I was supposed to arrive at 10:30am on Saturday.
