I'm a nonfiction writer. In a typical year I write about a half-million words for publication in various media and genres. My book authorship is mostly of the how-to variety; I've penned (word-processed, actually) several "...For Dummies" titles, one "Complete Idiots Guide to..." book, and a number of non-series titles. Over the years I've written hundreds of columns and articles for magazines and Web publications. Currently I'm a lead blogger at Weblogs, Inc, where I manage a small writing staff and oversee several blogs. I have posted well over 3,000 blog entries at Weblogs, Inc. (Even I find that hard to fathom). At the time of this writing, my most recently completed book is "Blogging For Dummies," which will be out in January, 2006.

A typical day consists of ... well, writing. I sit down, check e-mail and IM messages, and start out blogging for a couple of hours to sharpen my brain for the day. If a book is in progress, chances are good that a ferocious deadline is nipping at my heels; most of my books are written in short, concentrated bursts (weeks, not months). When two or more projects collide I am reminded of the motto at an espresso bar near my home: "Sleep is for the weak."

I can't believe amazon puts a "google for dummies" book on their website that is from 2004!!! That was when they were in their infancy, nothing that I need to learn even existed. And the publishing date was nowhere to be found on the info when I ordered it. I found it when I got the book. To say I am disappointed is putting it mildly. Who uses information in this fast-paced world of technology from the year 2004!

Little did I know that this was a very old version of Google for Dummies. It was not what I was expecting, and I guess that the error was partly on me also for not looking to see when the copyright date was. This was not very useful to me. I now know to look at copyright dates.

For so long I couldn't figure out Google search until I bought this book and figured out where I was going round.

Instead of pressing the search box on my screen I am supposed to move my mouse pointer over the box and click

What an idiot! It's been over ten years
