1960 words yesterday, 153,775 since January 1. And my Semicon West report is now up on the site.

As expected, Semicon West put a cramp in my writing for the last couple weeks. Only 4300 words since my last update. 151,815 since January 1.

Tyler Hamilton is insane. There is no other word for it. He broke his collarbone in two places in the first stage of this year's Tour de France. I've had a broken collarbone and I can tell you that it feels roughly like someone's driving a railroad spike into your shoulder. Rather than quit, though, he kept riding and actually won the stage yesterday. No big deal, just a 122 mi. jaunt through the Pyrenees. Hamilton is now in sixth place overall.

This is interesting. It's an article about beating writer's block for business writers. A lot of the techniques sound just like the ones I use for longer writing.
