In my freelance writing days, I had over a hundred computer-related articles published in Compute!, Creative Computing, RUN, Commodore Microcomputers, Uptime, Commodore Power/Play, Software Supermarket, Twin Cities 128, and newletters here and there. You can put "R.I.P." after all those magazines! I also wrote several articles or stories for Bluegrass Unlimited, Model Railroader, Car Exchange and Midwest Motor Sport, and was a columnist for a Twin-Cities based country music magazine called Countryside for most of its life. When I started technical writing as a profession, I couldn't afford the time it took to write the magazine articles.
I'm posting some of my articles here in the hopes that I can shame myself into writing for publication again! It will also be a lot of fun for people looking themselves up with a search engine when they find themselves here!

No attempt has been made to reproduce the formatting as they were published. In a very few cases I've corrected misspellings or toned-down scatological references that at the time I thought were hilarious.
Sports Cars
| Midwest Motor Sport: | "Midwest Motor Sport" was a monthly tabloid about
autosports in the Minnesota region. With the possible exception of the 1975 MOWOG article,
this is just ordinary reporting. The main value for reproducing them here is so that some
kids may find their parents or grandparents name!) The 1975 MOWOG Winter Carnival Road Rally (Includes photos by Armand Peterson) Weekend on Wheels III (1976) The 1976 MOWOG Winter Carnival Road Rally (Includes photos by Bryan LaPlant) |
| The DNF: | "The DNF" (stands for "Did Not Finish")
was the monthly newsletter of the University of Minnesota Sports Car Club (UMSCC). These
are rife with insider sports-car references. Manifold Destiny (a disgusting, juvenile collection of bad car and sex puns) Unchaste at Any Speed (an uncalled-for sequel to Manifold Destiny) From Here to Maternity (another uncalled-for sequel to Manifold Destiny) In Cold Mud (Surprise! Not a sequel to the above!) Rinkleforsken (This is absolutely, totally redundantly awful...) The 731st Andromediamo Rally Hot Rods to Heck |
| Bluegrass Unlimited: | "Bluegrass
Unlimited" is a nationally-distributed magazine about Bluegrass music. On
request, they recently gave me the rights back to these stories. They are rife with
insider bluegrass references. The Minnesota State Bass Festival The Bluegrass Mountain Boys Save the World A Horrible Tale The Bluegrass Quiz A Musician’s New Year’s Resolutions How to Get Kicked Out of A Band Psyche 1001 Case Study #43 (Banjo) Psyche 1001 Case Study #46 (Fiddle) Psyche 1001 Case Study #49 (see "Inside Bluegrass" below) Psyche 1001 Case Study #53 (Mandolin) Psyche 1001 Case Study #57 (Bass) Psyche 1001 Case Study #61 (Spoons) |
| Inside Bluegrass: | "Inside Bluegrass" is the monthly magazine
published by the MBOTMA, (The Minnesota Bluegrass and Old Time Music Association.) These are rife with insider bluegrass references. Psyche 1001 Case Study #49 (Dobro) Unidentified Frailing Object Professor Jaeger's History of Bluegrass |
Computers
I wrote dozens of short programs for magazine readers to type in. All of those are outdated, unless you're still using your Commodore, Bali Arcade or Apple II. I may include a few because the style was, well, interesting... These articles were rife with insider computer references. (Are you noticing a trend, here?)
| Unpublished | Cleaning the Commodore 64's Keyboard (The magazines were afraid of this one!) |
| Creative Computing (See final letter from Creative Computing) |
Die Wahrheit (The Truth) |
Miscellaneous
| MTM Minnegazette | The Railroad Through Campus Train tracks used to run by Morrill Hall! |
| Unpublished: | While I'm proud that I sold nearly 90% of all the freelance
pieces I wrote, still something had to fill out that remaining 10%! Here are some
of the least embarrassing. All Full Up |
