January 2013

Some weeks are full of accomplishment, and some weeks feel like nothing gets done. This past week felt like I couldn’t get anything accomplished. That wasn’t true, of course, but that is the way it felt. Visiting friends occupied a good chunk of the weekend; something I really haven’t done in a while. And then there was the very tempting talk of adding new projects to the docket… [click to continue…]

Hello, everyone! Today we have the next installment of the Balticon 46 wrap up. This is a Special Episode of my podcast The Shrinking Man Project, recorded Saturday morning during Balticon 46. This episode was originally a chance for me to do a cross-over with Nathan Lowell’s Talking on my Morning Walk podcast, also known as #tommw. In fact, if you listen to Nathan’s podcast, you’ve already heard this audio.

I hope this will help warm your hearts in the cold winter months, and you’ll be able to pick out some of the projects that we talk about.

Time for some walking and talking! Enjoy!

Hello, ACX

After being on the fence about it for many months, this past week I finally broke down and created a profile on ACX. What is ACX, you say? And well you might ask. ACX is the Audiobook Creation Exchange. Audible.com created ACX to promote the creation of digital spoken word content. This makes a lot of sense because digital spoken word content is what Audible sells. They need to get that content from somewhere, and ACX is part of making that happen. ACX creates a marketplace where rights holders, aka publishers, authors, and other empowered agents, can find narrators, studios, and producers looking for work. Here’s how it works… [click to continue…]

January is a time to look forward to the rest of the year. One of the things we look forward to each year, is Balticon! For those of you who aren’t familiar, Balticon is the Maryland Regional Science Fiction Convention put on each year by the Baltimore Science Fiction Society, or BSFS. Balticon is held each year on Memorial Day weekend in Hunt Valley, Maryland. So, in January, we start making plans… [click to continue…]

I am back with another piece of the Balticon 46 Wrap-up. We recorded this piece of podcasting goodness at 11 PM on Friday night and it is the Late Night New Media Meet and Greet. In this episode, moderator Grig (Punkie) Larson talks with Trish Wilson (who writes as Elizabeth A. Black), Paul Elard Cooley, and myself about what we’re doing in the world of new media. And, yes, with a late night show, this episode isn’t work safe!

A week has passed since my last update, and I haven’t been entirely idle. I have, however, narrowed down the scope of the projects that I’ve been working on to something more manageable. In 2012, I managed to start a number of new projects, but I didn’t really succeed in finishing off any of the ones that had carried over from 2011. Soooo… top priority right now is finish off existing projects before starting any of the new ones.

Fortunately, it looks like I just finished off one of those projects… [click to continue…]

I’ve gotten very far behind in a lot of projects, among them, this recap from Balticon 46. But what better way to kick off the new year than to move forward with the Wrap-up? So, here is Part 3, a Panel from Friday Night entitled A Touch of Slash – Rule 34 and the Podiosphere. This is from the New Media Track on Friday night at 10 PM. The panel was moderated by Nobilis Reed, and featured Jhada R. Addams, Veronica Giguere, and myself. This panel DOES contain explicit materiel, so don’t listen to it around impressionable ears. While the content is amusing, it is Not Safe For Work.
