Upstart Blogger is For Sale!

I have reluctantly decided to sell my pride and joy, Upstart Blogger. My life is moving in other directions and I’ve become so consumed by other projects that I haven’t had the time to design any new themes. I want to find someone who can take over the site, support my themes, and build on what I’ve created. Update: The auction ended without meeting my reserve price, so I’m keeping the site until I can find a buyer. In the... Read More

Boycott iTunes and Show Apple We Still Have a Choice

I don’t usually succumb to posting rants, but Apple’s recent actions are beginning to make me question my long-standing loyalty to the company. Bricking the iPhone is only the latest in a string of ill-advised corporate decisions and a New York woman’s $1 million dollar suit against Apple and AT&T over the iPhone price cut may be only the first of several brewing lawsuits. But I’m not the litigious type. I’d rather... Read More
