Master Feed

Time for another trip back on the Wayback Machine. This time we’re heading for December 16th, 2010 and the release of the fourteenth episode of The Galley Table. This episode featured Val Ford and PG Holyfield as guests and marked one of Laura Nicole‘s first forays as the head of the panel. This episode also marked the first official announcement of my podcast The Shrinking Man Project.

Return with me to December 4th, 2010, when I joined with the Galley Table crew to welcome Alex “The Gearheart” White, and Nobilis Reed to The Galley Table. To celebrate the end of NaNoWriMo, we talked about endings. Writing them, reading them, how people relate to them, and what makes a good ending.

Today we’ve set the Wayback Machine for November 24th and the release of another Galley Table. The guests for this episode are Brand Gamblin and SV Allie. In a massive fail of planning, we hadn’t planned a topic for this particular episode, and just kind of let the conversation ramble aimlessly. Which, of course, led to an excellent episode.

My second submission to the Every Photo Tells… podcast went live on October 24th, 2010. This story was an interesting challenge. The prompt photo featured a shot of a spooky face graffiti-ed onto a wall, with a man lying on the sidewalk next to the wall and box sitting at his feet. The picture was oddly engaging, but left me confused as to how to proceed. The objects in the image were discordant with each other. They didn’t fit. And that became my hook. They didn’t fit. A man out of place. And that soon became a man out of time. I’ve always been fond of time travel stories, so I wrote one of my own. Welcome to Paradox, the story of a man convicted of a crime he had yet to commit, and how his sentence nearly destroyed the fabric of the universe. Sometimes, the only person you can depend on is yourself…

The Wayback Machine has been down for a while, but it is time for me to fire it back up and mention some of my appearances that either pre-dated this blog, or didn’t get put onto the Master Feed because I was too busy to add them when it all happened. This one is from before I stood up Swimming Cat Studios. We’re going back to November 12th, 2010, when I made my third appearance on the Galley Table Podcast. [click to continue…]

Today my guest post at ChocolateScotch.com went live. This is part of the Creativity series, where different creatives from around the net have been asked to present their ideas on Art, Creativity, and Inspiration. This has been a really interesting and varied series. My article is post number 54, so there are a LOT of folks chiming in on this. You can find my essay over on the Chocolate Scotch site, and while you’re there, take some time out and read some of the other articles!

It is a really excellent series, and I’m proud to be a part of it.

Next up from the Wayback Machine, the fifth episode in the Bird House Rules/Nifty Tech Blog joint review of Twitter clients for iPad. In this one we’re looking at TweetTime. We weren’t happy with the original audio from this episode, so then we re-recorded this the night before the post was to go live over Skype. This was also the first time we had to pan an product after we’d decided to include it in the series.

This was the last episode of the crossover to be podcast, but not the last episode of the series. Tee’s writing career heated up shortly after this episode went life and he was unable to find the time to finish editing the final episode, or indeed publishing any additional episodes of Bird House rules. While I’m quite glad for the personal and professional success that Tee has had, I do wish that folks could hear that last episode. That was the one where we were most on form.

My return to the Galley Table! This marks my beginnings as the Galley Table Stowaway. I knew when Galley Table was to be recorded, so I went onto Skype a few minutes early and hoped that they would include me on the call. And that is pretty much what happened. Scott Roche placed the call and included me in with everyone else.

Back in those days, I pretty much considered myself as an “extra” guest on the podcast. I stayed quiet at the beginning, letting the regularly scheduled guest have their say first before chiming in with my two cents.

This show wandered a bit from topic to topic. Among the topics covered were the perceived legitimacy of electronic publishing, and how to bridge from a short story to a longer novel. The last is interesting because I think that is something that I hope to do in the coming year.

More to come from The Wayback Machine. And a lot more Galley Table, at that.

Next up from the Wayback Machine, the fourth episode in the Bird House Rules/Nifty Tech Blog joint review of Twitter clients for iPad. In this one we’re looking at Twittelator’s transition to the iPad. Along the way we also discuss some design mistakes that we’ve run into along the way.

Still a couple episodes left in this series. Go ahead and check them out over at Bird House Rules. More from the Wayback Machine soon.

My debut on the new Galley Table podcast. Scott Roche was looking for a guest to discuss how technology was affecting reading and the future of Storytelling. Pretty much right up my alley. So we jumped on Skype and recorded this episode.

This was the beginning. But not the end.

Look for more posts from the Wayback Machine in the coming days.
