Here's a random assortment of my
writing that I still own the rights to (!). Most of what I've
written over the past twelve years is owned by my former employer,
the company formerly known as Ziff-Davis, which then got sold to
Forstmann-Little Co. a Wall St. investment firm who then flipped
it to Softbank, which then floated a billion-dollar junk bond on
it to buy stock in Yahoo and Etrade, and then split off the online
and other chunks to sell of separately to cover their junk bond
debt. The result is that the ZD magazines are no longer connected
to ZDnet, which got sold to CNET, or to ZDTV, which got sold to
Paul Allen and is now called TechTV. So, we're still arguing about
who owns the rights to all the stuff I've written for them, and
they hassle me about putting my own articles on my own web site...
sheesh.
