Kottke blogs full-time: "I've been self-publishing on the web for almost 10 years now [...] The real problem was the tension between my web design career and my self-publishing efforts; that friction was unbalancing everything else. One of them had to go, and so I decided to switch careers and pursue the editing/writing of this site as a full-time job." [via Boing Boing]

How to self-publish on Amazon: "Kevin Kelly explains step by step how to get your self-published book, CD, or DVD onto Amazon. You only need to send them two copies at first, after which you can enjoy the benefits of the Long Tail as a producer, rather than a consumer or distributor. I asked North Beach Copy down the street here to estimate the cost of printing those first two books from a Word or PDF file - Charlie says $20 to $50, depending on what kind of cover, paper, and binding you want."
