When might be the last time you browsed through the zillions of available titles on Smashwords, Kobo, Diesel, Amazon or any of the myriad of other places where unknown and independent writers put their stuff? Recently? It's been a...

I sometimes wonder how much more productive my life would be without screen time. Internet, computers, smartphones and Netflix included in screen time. Life is definately easier with technology. But does it make us happy?

Roddy Dryer There are two sides to this coin. I believe technology is a wonderful aspect of the human condition and I hope it only continues to evolve. Technology, we must understand, is not an evolutionary fluke or a condition aberrant from nature, but merely a natural...

To begin, I'm not any sort of competitive player. However, I've been playing since I was in my teens (now in my 50's) and once I get the game under way, I have better luck in spotting some positions and pins and such I can take...

Roddy Dryer I'll usually open just the same way and for the same reasons. I think I should just admit that there must be a certain mindset for chess (competitively speaking) and I don't have it. I learned to play decades ago and haven't improved much at all despite books,...

When I go to the town centre, I walk through a park. Near a kiosk and a small building with loos/bathrooms are two chessboards (I'm using this term although it's wrong because there are no wooden boards but square slabs of black...

Roddy Dryer I can only assume this appeals to men more is because it is basically a combative game. It's war. Men seem to appeal to such strategic games, but I'm not saying just the guys only. My oldest daughter is pretty good. This might catch me an evil eye, but perhaps...

I love music and basically listen to all genres. For a while now I've been thinking about which albums do I consider the 10 best of all time. Right now I'm leaning towards Neil Diamond's Hot August Night and Bob Dylan's Highway 61...

Roddy Dryer I'd have to say Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield ought to be considered one of the best all-time albums in the rock genre. It is so unique and far-reaching in scope. Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon is an icon, as well.

I have to say this trend fascinates me. Stores selling vaporizers and their accessories are popping up everywhere. I've purchased a few over time and now have one nearby that I really enjoy. I know there are people out there who...

Roddy Dryer I've seen people do both, vape and smoke. I suppose they're still on the fence. Smoking can be a tough thing to give up, but if one truly desires it, the vaping can help.

Well now, when you are a newbie the first question always is- what should I write about? As a freelance writer, I always seem to have plenty to say and plenty to write about. So I decided to use my first post as an introduction to...

Roddy Dryer Yes! The entire trend is just amazing to me for so many reasons. A safer alternative, a success of free-market enterprise and innovation, and far more pleasant for all around.

Roddy Dryer I haven't smoked in years (about ten) and don't miss the cigs (although I miss my pipes and cigars on occasion) but I must admit I still dip on occasion. I recognize this is vulgar to many but I really enjoyed the wintergreen combined with tobacco. But the dip...

Roddy Dryer Because the e-liquid doesn't harbor the carcinogens like burned tobacco (or even tobacco chewed) it is far safer. I believe the jury is still out regarding the potential harm of these products (asbestos was once considered the miracle material because of how...
