Several of my clients have returned from interviews recently to tell me that they’ve been asked to do this. Caught [...]
by Michelle Hutchinson You’ve seen them, haven’t you, those square symbols that contain black modules against a white background? QR codes, short for quick response codes, store a lot more data than a standard UPC, can be scanned with cell phones or other mobile devices, and can take users to maps, videos, interactive web [...]

I've never been one to follow conventional wisdom—at least when it doesn't make sense to me—and I'm not about to start now. Conventional wisdom says to limit your blog to one topic (e.g., writing) or to related topics (e.g., writing, reading, publishing), but my interests are too diverse.

After all, I'm not only an editor and writer, but I am or have been a dentist, teacher, naval officer, environmental researcher, wife, parent, and pet owner.
I hope you'll take some time to provide comments on the posts.
