mini Interview with Writer Tina Gasperson

tinadee.jpg
MacHappens . Tina Gasperson 1. How do you tackle a deadline? I think it's more like the deadline tackles me. On rare occasion I will work on something well before it is due, but most of the time if it weren't for some kind of deadline I would probably just keep procrastinating forever.

I love books and most tangible media, but part of my lower impact aspirations include not collecting more "Stuff". Gadgets? They don't count as stuff do they? Hypocritically speaking. Missing the point. Cool iPhone App = eReader MacHappens
