I've switched to the Crypto-Cranium blog.   you can POST there!

"Call me e jamelle."  How is it after being online for 25 years (from BBS to blogs) I just realized I have a digital name?  Virtually perfect    There's e-commerce, e-gov and e jamelle!  Which makes it even more depressing that none of my early online ventures were successful.  I should say financially successful.  As hobbies, they were the bomb. StarSeed was truly the first international New Age forum (1986-92), but no $ from that.  BUGS  before that (1983-86) was the first BBS User Group Support (hence the name) and no $ from that.  I have an entire Cyber Chick rant about the early days and  told my friends I felt the web was my destiny when I tried to make ZiaLink, Inc. (1993 - 1996) the commercial face of the web.  Ha! AOL won that first round, along with Netscape, then Yahoo, and now Google are the billionaire benefactors and I'm still working the government job.  Sigh!  

So, like Ishmael, it is my lot in life to wrestle down one specific Dick (Philip K, get your mind out of the gutter there), a sci-fi whale, and my own personal albatross.  How's that for mixing metaphors!  And, apparently not to make a lot of money in the e-game.  So, best I get back to the writing schedule and stop lamenting my cyber loss.  The name remains mine, permanently.
