Improving On Martha Stewart’s Bad Example
Posted By I Love Pumpkins on September 28, 2011
Publishing is hard work. Surely you’ve noticed? After one whole entire committed pumpkin season of dedicated blogging, I semi-retired from my website in 2009.
But yesterday’s New York Times article about Martha Stewart inspired me with a new idea. Why create new content if I can just repurpose the archive I wrote a while back? Ha ha! Well, it turns out that Martha Stewart has been reprinting the same content in her magazine for years, without notifying readers. She was charging them for articles they’d already paid for! Martha’s historical behavior appears to be a good indicator of future behavior, in other words… she’s a crook!
Well, dear readers, I respect you and my blog too much to consider such shenanigans. Besides, my content is free and I would never overcharge you for anything. Instead, I have conscientiously selected some of my favorite articles from www.ilovepumpkins.com which I’d openly like to repurpose. Please visit, revisit, and enjoy!

Shit, I like them all even those not listed!! The blog stil amazes me to this day. Until I re-read some of my own articles, I forget that I even wrote them!
OK, ready for a random curiosity? Martha Stewart borrowed my very own Samsung Galaxy Tablet 10.1 during pre-release to see how her digital editions would look on Android. The Motorola Xoom was so awful that she’d written off Android entirely until she could see a better tablet than iOS. Thought you might like to know!
