This blog and my weekly print column don't cross paths much, but it's time to change that and help readers tap the resources I write about in the Saturday edition of the Daily News (Page 2 of the Faith section, where Business currently lives, as well as the aforementioned online home.)
The Saturday, Feb. 7 column is about self-publishing, ideally with no cost to you, both in traditional printed books as well as in electronic form on Amazon's Kindle e-reader.
Links mentioned in the column:
Google fired its latest shot across the bow, this time aimed not only at Microsoft's bread and butter but at Amazon, too.
Google's new Apps Appliance, which has just been opened -- for free -- to 10,000 developers, enables those programmers to use the open-source Python programming language (with more languages on the way) to develop online applications that will live in Google's computing cloud -- much like the current MS Office-killer Google Apps.
The initiative also aims directly at Amazon, which has not so quietly been developing and marketing its own computing cloud, offering storage, Web, online payment and database services, among others.
And not at all coincidentally, Microsoft is developing its own online-application initiative, with plans to reportedly sell a software bundle that includes the traditional MS Office apps along with online access to those very same programs for those who wish to work that way.
But when Google's in the house, can Microsoft (or even Amazon) play with the big boys when it comes to online apps?

That's in addition to the other sign-in choices, which include starting a Movable Type account on this blog, Typekey, OpenID, Live Journal and Vox. If you have trouble getting your Movable Type account verified, or any of the other sign-in options are not working properly, please e-mail me. With these added ways of signing in, there's more reason than ever for you to make a comment (or several!).
