Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as memory gets cheaper, the possibility of uploading our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could experience in my lifetime.<br /><br><br />(Posted on Nintendo DS running [url=http://knol.google.com/k/anonymous/-/9v7ff0hnkzef/1]R4[/url] DS TF3)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913223308835760783.post-45349454431577227902009-02-13T15:16:00.000-08:002009-02-13T15:16:00.000-08:00Thank you, Lynda.

The same thing can be said many ways, with many shades of meaning, just as your photos have the same content, but from two different perspectives. <BR/><BR/>Since no content is entirely "original" anymore, it's often the context and cross referencing that make a piece work and seem fresh and new!Lynda Lehmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914824862008453219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913223308835760783.post-65616852763811521952009-01-31T10:35:00.000-08:002009-01-31T10:35:00.000-08:00Thanks, Dave.

In a world where most will have at least 6 different careers in a lifetime? <BR/><BR/>I don't believe works in this world, unless you're already established, ala Grisham, King, Rowling. And that carries it's own problems, being branded to one genre. Ask Stephen King.<BR/><BR/>And even Stephen King breaks out of his "specialty" all the time!Conda Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12972790965426924941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913223308835760783.post-64867134338546502782009-01-31T06:22:00.000-08:002009-01-31T06:22:00.000-08:00Interesting post, Conda.

I was reading an article only last week which was stressing the advantages of concentrating on one specialist (literary) product because we live in a specialist world.

Plus, different pints of view. <BR/><BR/>The fact that you are publishing magazine articles today, in 2009, in this competitive market is definitely a mark of excellence for your literary abilities. I recently spoke with a publisher who told me it took his magazine at least six months to even decide if they wanted to publish your article and, if they did, actual publication would be 18 months from that date. That's two years! Meanwhile your article is being held up keeping you from either sending it to another pubisher, or re-writing it.Swubirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16009070690312312456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913223308835760783.post-3418500433050326382009-01-29T05:37:00.000-08:002009-01-29T05:37:00.000-08:00Hi Conda!Love the images!

When the kids and I go to the park, you can bet you'll see me swinging right along with them!<BR/><BR/>For my online content, linking things together really helps. For instance, I take an article I published on one site and re-vamp it to use somewhere else. Then, most times, I link to the original article itself. <BR/><BR/>This has really been working well for me. I can add information, turn a twist on it, or just introduce the piece and lead readers to it.<BR/><BR/>I've really noticed a difference in my residual page view income since I've employed the tactic.<BR/><BR/>Have a great day!The Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16974717192873929184noreply@blogger.com
