Agent Palmer

While Alexandra Robbins may be a “Best Selling” author, and she can certainly string her words together, I don’t think she quite reached her goal of explaining Quirk Theory in “The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth.”

Essentially, she spoke to multitudes of high school students, teachers, administrators, and parents in order to explain Quirk Theory and how the things that make members of the “cafeteria fringe” outsiders in high school will make them succeed thereafter.

I recently received a note saying that as editor of the written portion of the Chronicles Unwritten podcast, I, along with the writer/creator, Diamond Dave Maier, are inspiring Aiden (#lilman) from Full of Fibre podcast, to “keep trying and working at writing.”

To hear this was uplifting, as much as my coffee that morning. So to continue the thanks from my “Coffee’d Up” post, I’ve decided to write some advice for all writers, and specifically for Aiden, to aid in the process.

Agent’s receive packages all the time. Usually, in unmarked brown paper wrapping from all over the globe. And commonly with contents for their eyes only. But I have received a package of similar look that must be shared.

It was a small care package from Chad, Jen, and Aiden (#lilman) of the Full of Fibre Podcast. It contained some Monogram Coffee, the “Torea Village” blend, and some stickers and magnets, but most notably a card, which I will declassify shortly.

If you’re looking for the whole story of the personal computer or microcomputer industry, you have to read a few books. You owe it to yourself to at least cover the two diametrically opposed players in the game: Steve Jobs and Bill Gates.

I’ve read the Steve Jobs biography written by Walter Isaacson, so next up was a Bill Gates biography called Gates: How Microsoft’s Mogul Reinvented an Industry and Made Himself the Richest Man in America by Stephen Manes and Paul Andrews.
