Based on comparing listeners and subscriber numbers, Escape Pod is the second largest market for short science fiction, with 20,000 downloads after a month for each episode. I don’t have anything to say about that. I just want to mention it, and see what you all think of that. I’ve talked about this before, but I think their listener count has grown since then.
(And yes, the prospect of my latest sale to them being heard by 20,000 people is somewhat terrifying.)

“This, My Body”, my sexy chef story that appeared previously in Interzone 199, will be–I believe– featured in the 150th episode of Escape Pod next week. Steve Eley totally rocks.
Man, this year just keeps getting better! What a fantastic pick-me-up after the work events of earlier this week.
Big thanks to Rachel Swirsky for encouraging me to try Escape Pod with the story!

I am utterly failing to keep up the pace of writing this week. No words. Not even any revisions. I probably shouldn’t have bought that design book earlier this week. It’s great for the day job stuff, but reading it eats up the time and energy I should be spending working on my next story.
There’s this trope I am examining right now. One of the things about second world fantasy that bothers me is that it’s rarely very ambitious with how different things are from our world. Now, before you burn me at the stake, hear me out.

Does the New York Times article on Steampunk mean the genre/fashion craze has made the high water mark and will begin to recede from here? What is the shelf-life of an aesthetic movement, and for that matter, what is the sociological force behind this particular movement?

This was my first serious shoot with logistics involving a model, costuming, and a shoot location. To spend an hour and a half behind the camera, I spent probably 4 hours doing the various administrative tasks to set up. Here’s an overview of the process we went through to get the pictures I wanted.

Continuing on the thoughts of yesterday’s post, I’ve recently read Clay Shirky’s speech, “Gin, Television, and Social Surplus.” You can read a transcript of it, or watch a video. I highly recommend checking out one or the other and coming back here. I’ll wait. For the lazy, here’’s a choice bit [...]
My goal with this new site is to not only to design a very clean, beautiful site, but to also showcase some of the nice effects that are possible with javascript libraries like jQuery (and teach myself how to effectively use them in the process). Last night, I worked for over 6 hours simply [...]
Sci-fi rant: Why giant mecha robots are stupid | Geekend | TechRepublic.com
Jay Garmon has written a very well thought-out article on why giant mecha robots are stupid and will never work. I am afraid I must provide a counter to this article. Giant mecha robots are also totally awesome, and I think he’s wrong. [...]
