I just wanted to pass on a request from Beth Wodzinski of Shimmer Magazine for help. They are looking for a slush reader and a web assistant.

Full details can be found here.

I may be biased, Shimmer bought two stories from me, but they’re a great independent publication and though you wouldn’t get paid, you’d be helping keep a desperately needed market going.

• Desmond is my favorite. #
• I have the Femedent toothpaste song stuck in my head this morning. It won’t go away. I mean I like the song, but still… #
• You’re a woman and you like to weave, you’re a woman you have woman’s needs… #
• @shunn does the kindle handle doc formats? #
• @pablod I’ve thought about it but they’re too pricey right now to b realistic. I read on the iPhone but its not always easy with manuscripts #
• @pablod I’m trying hard to resist your Batman post. I’m tradewaiting both RIP and Final Crisis and trying to avoid spoilers has been hard. #
• @ecmyers I haven’t done much. You flip it to portrait mode? #

• @shunn Not so much in the middle of a novel as much as revising one. Rewiring might be more accurate. #
• Working from home today to avoid the wintry mix. Remarkably, the day is going slower… #
• Anyone use Dropbox for syncing of files across multiple computers? It looks like it might be a good way to include my Eee pc. #

• Every day I hate people a little more and that is starting to bother me. Time for a beer. #
• Celebrated Chinese New Year with some delicious American Chinese food. My mood is improving. #
• I find it amazing that the ‘phone vibrating against the table’ noise is so ingrained that when I hear it on TV I instantly look at my phone. #
• @BrentSpiner I highly recommend it. It doesn’t hurt nearly as much as you’d expect it to. #
• @edenrobins That one’s special. #
• Bacon tux: http://www.mcphee.com/resources/april/items/bacontux.html #
• @shunn That is sad, though I’m glad that I’m not faced with that particular problem. #
• I understand diff. cultures have different interpretations of “manners”, but being raised by an English mum hasn’t helped me be tolerant. #
• @johnjosephadams Value cereal. Nice. #
• @johnjosephadams Now that you’ve played both, what do you think is better – Rock Band 2 or Guitar Hero World Tour? #
• @johnjosephadams Thanks. I was leaning that way myself because of the upcoming Beatles game. First sofa, then RB2. #
• Latest is that Shimmer’s Clockwork Jungle issue should be out this summer. My story, “The Emperor’s Gift” will be in it. Hurray. #
• @ecmyers I did the same thing yesterday. It’s been a while. Probably have to do it again tomorrow. #
• RT @cmpriest Well. Here you go – Realms of Fantasy closing: http://tinyurl.com/c2wesw #
