Acknowledged

Posted on August 24, 2009August 24, 2009 by LBDG

A few months back a friend of a friend emailed me a few questions about my publishing experience.  I gave some honest answers and wished him luck.  He later offered me a free copy in appreciation. When the book came in the mail, I was quite surprised and flattered to be mentioned in the acknowledgments….

Search Terms

Posted on August 9, 2009 by LBDG

Google Analytics rocks.  I use it to keep track of traffic on all of the Timely Persuasion related sites, getting a decent heads up when the book is referenced on blogs, message boards, tweets, or elsewhere online. The most fascinating/interesting thing is looking at the search terms people enter that lead them to find the…

F

Posted on July 26, 2009 by LBDG

Random observation I had the other day: “F” is one heck of a consistently good letter in my iTunes library when sorted by Artist: Faces Faith No More Fats Waller The Feelies Feist Felix McTeigue The Fiery Furnaces Fine Young Cannibals (covering “Ever Fallen In Love” by the Buzzcocks) Fiona Apple Five Man Electrical Band…

Technical Difficulties

Posted on July 19, 2009 by LBDG

Seems my first try at posting the Quantum Leap fanfic story ran into a little bit of a technical snafu.  iWeb was converting the text to an image, and the image was so large that some browsers were choking on it.  I did some tweaking and now it should be showing up in good old…

Quantum Commentary

Posted on July 11, 2009October 7, 2023 by LBDG

Finally got around to posting my 5th place entry from the fan fiction contest at Leap Back 2009 to the extras section of the main site. “Just Like Starting Over” It’s called “Just Like Starting Over” (you knew I’d go with a song title…) and serves as a bridge between the beginning and the end…

Ramblings III

Posted on June 27, 2009 by LBDG

Whenever I (legally) drive through a yellow light it makes me think of Back to the Future and how difficult it would logistically be to time driving through a lightning strike with such precision. Read a cool short story called “The Variant” by John August.  Well worth the 99 cent price tag.  And without giving…

Another Man’s DG

Posted on June 18, 2009April 30, 2024 by LBDG

While walking the dog I had a random thought: Why did I use “Local Boy Done Good” instead of “Local Boy Done Gone” in TP? This question came out of nowhere. There was no internal debate over the name of Local Boy or his album during the writing phase. I honestly don’t remember any distinct…

Similarities

Posted on June 6, 2009July 17, 2011 by LBDG

Just got back from a trip to Hawaii where I got quite a bit of reading and writing done.  Oddly enough, the last 3 books I’ve read bore some interesting similarities to Timely Persuasion. Anathem by Neal Stephenson Set in an alternate universe of the far future, the novel introduces the concept of the Hylaean…

ARG(hhh!) Again, Naturally

Posted on May 23, 2009 by LBDG

Here we go again. Back in November I wrote a post that detailed my small brush with infamy related to DarmaWantsYou.com.  This week saw the stars align for another 15 minutes of fame that felt worthy of revisiting.  The rough timeline: February 29, 2008 Timely Persuasion is released.  The book includes 2 hidden easter eggs…

First Impressions on Wilco (The Album)

Posted on May 14, 2009 by LBDG

The new Wilco record is streaming for free at the band’s official site (www.wilcoworld.net), so I thought I’d blog my early impressions.  To be fair, “first” impressions in the title is a slight exaggeration; this is technically my third listen that I’m writing about. (And in the interest of full disclosure: I’m notorious for disliking…
