My Afflation

I have flown through a few episodes of LeVar Burton Reads on my commute, and it has made it so much more enjoyable. If you happen to follow me on twitter , you know exactly how I feel about Boston drivers. And yes, I know that I am so very late to this particular podcast party. Flip side, I get to binge, which is how I have been consuming most of my media lately.

About a year ago I got to have a great conversation with some old-time friends of a friend (long story) - Rebecca and James Hicks on  The Geek Questioner Podcast . Rebecca is the author of the webcomic " Little Vampires ". This week we interview the dynamic duo behind the Tiny Little Vampires web comic and geek out over all manner of things. From a close encounter with Carrie Fisher to space vampires, rogue space probes, superhero TV shows, games like the Witcher 3, summer homes in Rivendell, living in the Cars universe, and more!   Have a listen and don't mind the giggling:

Trying something different....

Yes, I know I am behind the times on this one. But some other projects and simple lack of time, have made me consider vlogging. I just don't want to torture you, my faithful friends and readers. These would be unedited, off the cuff, and most likely posted from my phone as time permits. Because really, when do I not have my phone with me? And it uploads automatically to YouTube! And it may (or may not) prepare me for podcasting on Nick and Nanner on Tech So ... let me know. The poll closes in one week. Thanks for your input.

As many of my long time readers know, I am a huge fan of Tee Morris and Philippa Ballantine . One reason for this is their incredible podiobooks . Another is that they are accessible to fans on twitter. (Yes, I know, I'm practically a techno-vangelist for the site). This morning Tee announced on his site TeeMorris.com : "While you all know that the dwarf detective is one for the low-tech solutions like Beatrice and a good battle-axe, you may not know that the award-winning The Case of The Singing Sword: A Billibub Baddings Mystery is now available for the iPhone! Sure you can download Billi on the iPhone and iPod Touch in audio but now you can pick up a copy of Billi’s first big case as an iPhone application. Along with The Case of The Singing Sword, the Fey Trickster is also causing (double) trouble at the iTunes Store with Chasing the Bard also available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Take a look and show the love. Let iPhone and iPod Touch users know that Double Troub...
