Galleys
September 8th, 2003Jeffrey and I reviewed the galleys of my book this weekend. Receiving them was a bit like meeting an old friend; it was nice to catch up and see her doing well, but I was just as happy to return to my post-manuscript life when the visit was over. Strange emotions are connected to book writing.

I tend not to duplicate news that my hubby covers (everyone in the web or library biz should be reading him anyway), but I must echo the importance of the news that Microsoft may have to nix plug-in technology in its browser.
The news raises disturbing questions. Will other browsers have to kill plug-in technology? What could happen to sites that use plug-ins? Could Flash go the way of the Black Mamo?

I’ve written about them before. Tweezerman tweezers. No glamour girl (or boy — I know more than a few who would benefit from a good brow, nose or ear pluck!) should have to live without them. Here’s the thing: the company sharpens the little gems for free.
A few weeks ago, I sent my favorite pair for sharpening, hastily shoving five bucks in the envelope to cover return postage. On Thursday, they came back to me as sharp as they had been when I first picked them up, and with my crumpled five dollar bill still in the box.
