4 for Squidoo!

On 25 December, 2011 By Liz
In the past week or so, I wrote and published four new Squidoo lenses. Writing for Squidoo is addictive … I get an idea and feel compelled to write about it. The ideas are slowing down a little, which means I have time to record them so I’ll remember them. Seven Hot Scientists Several years [...]

New Mad Engineer Merchandise

On 24 December, 2011 By Liz
The Union of Mad Engineers was my first graphic image for sale, and I still think it’s one of my best. It came about because of a conversation with an engineer I knew. We were talking about mad scientists, and realized that someone who invents rockets, time machines and ultimate weapons really isn’t a mad [...]

Printfection or Zazzle?

On 16 December, 2011 By Liz
Most people reading this know I am a graphic designer (among other things) with print on demand shops at both Printfection and Zazzle. Both printers sell similar merchandise, and I try to keep the same images at both printers. Why? Printfection does very high quality work. They try hard to do the best printing in [...]

Today’s Lens: Gifts for Knitters

On 16 December, 2011 By Liz
New Readers: This is part of a continuing series where I talk about one of the lenses (articles) I wrote for Squidoo. Gifts for Knitters If you knit, you know what happens at the holidays: somebody gives you a knitting-related present that falls a bit flat. You know, the book of “big needle patterns for [...]

Why Does My Aspie Always Answer “No”?

On 8 December, 2011 By Liz
On an e-mail list I’m on, two women both said their Asperger’s husbands always answer questions “No”, even when they later say “Yes”. They want to know why their husbands do this. Since I do this as well, I thought to tell them why I do this, in the hope they will understand their spouses [...]

How to Influence the Media (a little bit)

On 6 December, 2011 By Liz
I’m working with our town’s weekly newspaper to produce a biweekly column on web design. This column will focus on website and web design issues for the independent professional or small business, not for computer folk. I have ideas for some columns, but I’m wondering what topics people would like to see and learn about. [...]

I’m in the Papers!

On 5 December, 2011 By Liz
If you live near me, you know I’m the owner for our town’s Freecycle group. Freecycle is a network of community e-mail groups that focus on keeping still useful stuff out of the trash. It’s a great concept, and I’ve been volunteering my time as the local group’s head honcho for 6 1/2 years. As [...]

What Character Would You Roll?

On 20 November, 2011 By Liz
Elemental Dragons postcard by Flynn_the_Cat If you’ve never played Dungeons and Dragons, feel free to skip this post. I played a few times in college, but though the game was fascinating in concept, in the pre-computer age, it was very tedious. “You are in a maze of twisty little passages…” sorry, wrong game. How about, [...]

Avoiding Holiday Gift Meltdowns

On 5 November, 2011 By Liz
If you have an Aspie in your family, you know how hard it is for them to give gifts, and how awkward it can be to receive gifts from them. It is common for an Aspie to give a gift they want badly, without thinking of what the recipient would like (here, have this model [...]

Make Room for “The Aspie Parent”

On 4 November, 2011 By Liz
Before I began Polymath Solution, I ran a small blog called “The Aspie Parent.” It has a small, but loyal following, even though I haven’t had time to post to it in months. I don’t want to ignore that blog any more, so I’m moving it here. For those who haven’t seen that blog, it [...]
