I’ve noticed that quite consistently an author’s main characters tend to be writers or magazine editors. Think basically every Stephen King novel or short story and every other romance novel. Just think of Shopaholic and Devil Wears Prada. Two recent movies that were book adaptations. Both are chick-flick romances based on the writing industry. This profession theme is so oversaturated in writing that I won’t even consider reading a book if I see on the flap that the protagonist is in the business of writing.

Computer programmers write LOTs of software to help them out in their own nerdy endeavors. Search engines, directory optimization, backup database watchers, defragging.   Just for a random selection. Go to See all recently added products from www.download.cnet.com and see just how many recently developed software programs are related entirely to computers and no other side industry.

And artsy people make a lot of crap for other artsy people.  THIS. IS. A. SEWING. NINJA.  Not hard to find. Crafty people make shit for other crafty people.

So just Imagine my delight when i FIND…Argenta Collaborative.  Tech-Targeted craft shop. The perfect feminine touch to my super dull i-code-and-stuff life.

I bought this. It is techy, but made by PEOPLES Who MAKEZ craftIES. ZOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
