The blog post title comes from a friend who, long before the temp/contractor economy took hold, identified that some people aren’t “job people.” Some people are “project people.” I look at my schedule and all the projects I have lined up, and I have to concede — I’m a project person.

One of my big goals for this year is to update the blog more frequently. It’s funny that a journalist, used to the daily grind of churning out stories, should find this such a challenge. But I’m so busy lining up and executing new projects that it’s actually hard to keep up with posting about them

Currently finishing up two manuscripts for hire, a beginner’s guide to using Android smartphones. The manuscript required me to strongly familiarize myself with the Android OS, popular apps and hardware. The first book went to the client two weeks ago — I hope to have the next one done by Monday.

Android -- flawed, fractious and free

Look for some interesting information here for Android phone users. I’ve got way more research on the topic than I can fit in these slim volumes, so I’m happy to share some here. We’ll explore how to hack your Android smartphone, if you want to upgrade your operating system to Google’s shiny, new Android 4 OS (a.k.a. Ice Cream Sandwich). It’s a risky procedure, but it’s a lot safer and easier than it was not too long ago.

My other main concern is with syncing data to your Android smartphone from other computers. I already use a desktop computer, a laptop and an iPod Touch so, obviously, the Android has to fit in with my already-existing workflow. In this space, we’ll talk about some of the apps I’ve tried. Hopefully, this may save you time if you are looking to get a new Android phone, or make your Android use more efficient.

Thanks, as always, for reading. And watch this space!
