CHoN: xomba.com

It's an interesting idea. A website that already plays nice with the search engines, gives writers an outlet for their creativity, and even promises to share half the advertising revenue generated by said writer's content. There are a few things they won't let you do with it, of course. But if you like to write, it's definitely worth a look. I tried it out today and am already seeing a tiny bit of revenue in my Google account for it.

Cool, Hot, or Not? As an amateur writer, I'm going to say this is definitely looking Cool. Don't take my word for it, however. Check it out. Look me up over there, if you like. I'm Maestro_74. Happy writing!

Typosaurus Dex?

No, we're not exploring a new strain of dinosaur DNA. I just encountered an interesting entry over at Typo of the Day for Librarians. Carbohydretes -- sounds like a condition that wants treatment, doesn't it? That's got to be my new second favorite typo.

My favorite typo ever, I think, is one I committed back in school. I now insist to my friends that idito is Spanish for "idiot". I doubt that one bothers too many librarians, but it brings a smile to my face every time.
