You know there's a mass exodus from California when your Uhaul reservation (made weeks in advance) now requires you to pick up the truck at a location 7 hours away across a mountain range. BTW, I learned today that Uhaul reservations are make-believe.

Fun to talk with #technicalwriting veteran @TomJohnson about his shift from writing old-school end-user-focused manuals to documenting modern #APIs, about collaborating with engineers, and about his love of writing about his writing work. buff.ly/2K0g1GM

it amazes me how stuff sells on craiglist. i listed a 4x4 ikea cubby for $20, and no one wanted it. i switched it to free and someone came by within the hour. there's a certain mentality about getting something for free (even if not worth taking) that taps into the human brain.
