SOLY: Chapter 2.1

Were you aware of it?

The novel Someone Liche You has a B-story. Today’s chapter is the first of the novel’s second part, cleverly titled: Chapter 2.1

Gregor continued to mutter a steady stream of obscenities (each more ridiculously profane than the last) as he picked up the stripped screwdriver, placed it into the clamp mounted on his workbench, aimed his laser carving lathe at it, and recut the tip of the tool. This made it slightly shorter, but otherwise as good as new.

“Goddamn metal’s shit, that’s the problem,” he said to Cursor, the fat, red and blond Welsh Corgi across the room. The dog was sprawled out on on an armchair across from the workbench, watching with only a passing interest in the man’s shenanigans.

I’m crowd-sourcing the editing of Someone Liche You at indy literary darling Red Lemonade. You can read the first part there right now, and more chapters are published throughout the week. Eventually the whole story will be available to read and download.

And this is a thing of which you are now aware!

Good Job. Steve.

With limited dalliances in Windows and Linux, I have always used a Mac.
Not because it was faster, easier, or smarter. But because I have.

Rest in Peace, Steve.

Full Screen Fail!

I shouldn't need to explain to most of you why this is a fail:

Full Screen Mode Fail

Even if you asked me to, I couldn't come up with a better way to cripple the readability of an online offering. It's got the trifecta electronic reading death:

  1. Flash
  2. Text that doesn't auto flow.
  3. Slow as hell rendering.

Consider this evidence number 149,503 in the case against print media vs. user experience.

Mmm. Dancing.

We have, for weeks, had the ongoing debate at our house as to whether it is "Tiki Room" or "Jiggy Room."

I don't know what a Jiggy Room is, but I totally want one.

This day in real conversations.
