Apple’s iPad 2 will allegedly be announced tomorrow, which may explain the newest search result I found for Timely Persuasion: (At least it’s a search result I haven’t seen before.  And Google claims it was updated 1 day ago.) Wonder if this means iBooks will be getting a big promotional push to coincide with the new…

Trickshot Finale
I’ve mentioned the illustrated web-based time travel serial Trickshot a couple of times previously during its work in progress days, but now that it has reached completion I decided another full-blown post was in order. What’s the best way to tell a time travel story out of order? To tell it in order. That’s the…
Painting Tasters Done Good
Ever since Timely Persuasion came out back in 2008 I’ve always wanted to do some sort of tie-in soundtrack type thing featuring covers of the Local Boy songs, but various attempts to get a project like that off the ground always stalled for one reason or another. Â Until now… Lounge Act by Ken Gordon Back…
Of The Year – 2010
Year end music recap time. 2010 was weird. Felt so-so for new music, but was probably the best concert year of recent memory due to a heavy dose of nostalgia. Albums: 1. The Flood — Mason Jennings A new album of old songs is an odd choice for the top slot, but like I said…
Nick Hornby, Audrey Niffenegger & Me
I’d call it an early Xmas present, but this review from Goodreads was actually posted in June and I managed to miss it. The Nick Hornby / Audrey Niffenegger comparison is quite flattering 🙂 I’ve always referred to Timely Persuasion as a rock and roll time travel novel, and this nails both sides of that coin. I…
Smashwords, eBooks, iBooks
Smashwords.com manages the eBook distribution of Timely Persuasion to the Apple iBookstore, Barnes & Noble Nook, Sony, Kobo, and Diesel.  They handle the format conversion and distribution, which is huge.  I probably could handle the conversions myself, but it’s so time consuming it wouldn’t be worth it.  (I did my own formatting for the Amazon Kindle…
Memories of Weezer
The year of nostalgia concerts (including Evan Dando, Pavement, Faith No More, and James) added another classic on Friday night with Weezer doing The Blue Album in its entirety over at Universal. Weezer (Blue) has always held a fond place in my heart since first hearing “Undone – The Sweater Song” as a screamer of…
Ramblings V
Been awhile since I posted… Saw the 25th anniversary re-release of Back To The Future a few weeks ago. Â Still holds up and still the best. Â Noticed this time around that in many of the 1955 scenes George McFly has his shirt only tucked in on one side, which reminded me of Daniel Faraday from…
Someone Else is Rediscovering Pavement
The best love letter to a band disguised as a letter to your past self (or is it vice versa?) that I have ever read: Wait, You’ve Never Heard: Pavement — Brighten The Corners My favorite quote: “There’s a magic to the moment you finally love a band, and anyone who says he or she…
Expiration Date = TP Remake?
Just finished reading an awesome novel featuring: A recently unemployed journalist who goes back in time A musician father in the past Time travel that works by just thinking hard about a specific date An inability to visit the same date twice Being ghost-like and invisible to most people while back in time Always traveling…
