Live in Second Life

I'm sitting at the moment in Second Life, listening to and watching Emerian Rich talk about her book on Podiobooks, "Night's Knights."  Second Life opens up all sorts of options for conferences and lectures and such.  There's plenty of other stuff to do there, and people do most of what you can think of.  But this is nice.  It's even being recorded for Treet.TV, SL's version of network television.

I'm still thinking about recording a podcast from within SL, but haven't quite done it yet.  I even have my Hiber-Nation Theatre space set up for exactly that.  My original idea was to get a group together and record everybody live via SL's own Voice Chat mechanism.  But since I've had no visitors to speak of, I haven't seen the point.  Not yet, anyway.  The flipside is that if I'm -not- doing shows, why would anybody be showing up?

I'm a little hesitant to think anyone would want to come just to hear me.  On the other hand, a few hundred have come to hear the Podiobooks versions of some of my books, so I suppose I must be doing something right.

National Blog Posting Month -- Day 1

I'm going to give NaBloPoMo another shot this year.  I completed it last December, the month after The Big One.  Didn't find it all that hard, but this year I'm lots more busy, with school and whatnot.  Not that much whatnot -- like work & such, no job -- but school is plenty.

Heck, I may even manage to have something to say, rather than just rambling incoherently -- which might leave you wondering if you are reading the right blog.  So I better avoid that.

JC Hutchins, I Knew Him When -- sorta

If you've been listening to my podcasts from the beginning, you might remember my reviews of JC Hutchins "7th Son" books.  Largely due to the great popularity of the books on Podiobooks.com, Hutch managed to get the book published by a real-deal publisher, St. Martin's Press.  And you can order it now!

If you liked the books as much as I have -- and I'm also listening to the new edition of the Podiobook -- I hope you'll want to own your very own, shiny new copy!  You can click on this link to order the book  7th Son: Descent from Amazon.com, if you'd like.

You could also go to Hutch's own site to order.  Up to you.



And to think, I reviewed his book back when he was just Some Guy.  Mostly.   :)
