I just realized (today) that I’ve had a button hanging out on the main page for a long time with nothing linked to it, so I figure I better talk about this blog, my other blogs, and my writing generally. I built and maintain most of my websites, and they always include blogs. Read on, […]

Formerly known as “So Shoot Me!®,” RickHorowitz.Photography is the website where I showcase my photography. I am, as you can read there, an award-winning photographer. As the About page for So Shoot Me!® notes, I blog at unpredictable times and intervals. However, I’ve been blogging a lot more frequently there these days. Although by day I am a […]

Recently, a controversy broke out over the name “Malshandir.” I’d have never known anything about it, but a friend of mine, Ken White over at Popehat, wrote about it. He mentioned on another website that he wanted a Photoshop image created with a tube of a substance called “Malshandir Butthurt Cream,” for “when your ass […]

You’re probably tired of hearing me say this (you who might have found this blog via some Google search and then started reading several of the articles, even though the site […]

This blog was originally created with the intent that it would be a “personal” blog, but blogging about my personal life seems to me problematic. At first, I thought it would be a great idea […]

In keeping with my commitment to writing more frequently, I’ve recently purchased a more portable laptop. I bought a Gateway LT2030u. It’s red and weighs about 2.5 or so pounds. It’s tiny! But the keyboard is managable, even with my hands. I bought this one because it came with a 250 GB hard drive, 1 […]

Advance warning: This is essentially stream of consciousness writing. It’s unedited. If you become bored with it…well, you’ve been warned. I went out last night and bought my first-ever copy of Writer’s Market. Other than the fact that someone told me to do it, I’m still not sure why. I think it’s because I’d like […]

Maintaining a “personal” blog has been an ongoing source of angst for me. I (mostly) enjoy writing. I’ve intermittently kept journals for years, although not-so-much in the last 10 years; my journaling these days is spotty, at best, and for reasons similar to those I anguish over regarding maintaining a personal blog.
