Congrats Stephen, just be sure to use spell check, many people are very particular about that kind of stuff, ESPECIALLY MAGAZINES!

Thanks Adam, and Jerry, I feel humbled actually, and abit scared too be honest. I only was an editor for a very small area here in OK once, and well, I also was the Photographer, Local sports writer, etc.

It was out in Wesern OK, around Camargo/ Sealing. But man to do tec Writting, I feel abit over my head, However, I started my first piece on PC safety, and the overlooked use of Spyware Prevention.

Oh well, Here goes nothing.

You can do it. I was a writer training developer instructor at the Target Acquisition School. Talk about overwhelming. But be slow and careful, ask other people in the field you write for, get other people to proof read it. After a while you don't even see your own errors but they will be glaringly obvious to others. Sometimes just watching someone read and looking over thier shoulder you refresh your ability to edit yourself. Do the above without getting snared in any office politics or intrigue.

Wow. Good news to hear, Stephan! That's wonderful. I've been extremely busy over the last few weeks or I would've replied earlier.

Cool, you'll write things that may be in Stuff, I'll drool over the babes in Stuff, and my wife can shake her head and go why me?

I just got a call From a company called Satin ENT. I had applied awhile back with a blanket resume about 6 months ago, and to make along story short, I got hired tonight at $29.27 an hour for 20 hours a week just to right, and help do tech Stuff for there Magizines.

It will be a small column, And I'm a bit surprised at the hourly wage as apposed to the Article rate, But I guess, they will track my research on such things.

anyway, I'm a happy camper right now.

Awesome news brother. Congrats.

BTW, I mentioned to my mother-in-law about the new addition
to your household and she made the baby a quilt/pillow. It's like
a regular quilt but you fold it up a certain way and it becomes
a pillow. She might have another surprise for the baby if she
can find the material for it. If you've seen her sewing room you'd
understand what a lost cause this may be.

Thanks Guys, And Thanks Dallas, that's too cool. I love how the Ladies on your side of the family know how to sew, the only thing I'd be able to make for the baby is Leather Greaves, and that's been a few years back in the SCA. LOL
