The latest content update on Clockpunk.com is live and this week, the Doctor and Miss Watkins continue their investigations into the intelligence of the boggarts as the boggarts prepare to go to war! Can the Doctor discover the source of the conflict in time to stop the war from ravaging the Park and habitat that he loves? You can help! Read the last post, listen to the podcast, and provide your theories to the doctor.
Feedback on the work is always greatly appreciated. I learned a lot about what I need to do better when writing audio stories from this episode. My audio man Nate Periat kicked ass as usual. I think it should still be pretty great, but future episodes are going to be even better than this.
If nothing else, I just want the podcast episodes to make you laugh :) Hopefully it succeeds in that. Enjoy!

Hello all. As you may know, I’ve been updating Dr. Roundbottom on a weekly basis for some time now. (If you missed the new post yesterday, be sure to go check it out). The site seems to have matured itself and as far as I can tell is mostly stable. I have the most awesome commenters in the world. I don’t even know who half of them are. Keep it up, mystery commenters.
My question is this: what other features could I add to the site? Any basic functionality that you would like to see that is missing?
If you have suggestions for things you want to see/read more content about, please share that with me too.
I am making this my sole project outside of my day job (and a couple of clients I support) for the forseeable future. So any suggestions on things I could add or do differently would be appreciated.

This week kicks off a new multi-part storyline over at Clockpunk.com. It appears that Dr. Roundbottom has gotten himself into the middle of some strange happenings and a war may soon be breaking out in the Park!
In this week’s missive, the Doctor relates a discovery he doesn’t seem too keen on, which is that a species of faery called the boggart previously though to have an animal intelligence, can actually speak and use tools. He has a very interesting capture documenting the tool use at least, and it appears that he’s endevouring to make a recording of the little creatures for next week’s Nature Sounds to prove to the scientific community that they have the capacity for speech.
So check it out, tell your friends! Spread the word!
I took a bloody fantastic steampunk shoot last night which I will most likely be showing you bits of pieces of this week. Unfortunately, Daily Photo is now dead until spring. I’ll post photos now and then, but they won’t be coming daily until the shooting season starts up again.
Hi! My name is Jeremiah Tolbert, but call me Jeremy. I am a writer, photographer, and web designer currently living in Northern Colorado, seeking either freelance web design work or fulltime employment. Drop me a line if you have any questions, comments, advice, or heckles. I love hearing from new people. If you’re inclined, you can follow me on Twitter, where I share various links and talk about the same things I talk about here, only with fewer characters.
The structure and nature of short stories haven’t really changed in the digital age, as far as I can tell. They’re still told the same way mostly, same perspectives, in roughly the same amount of time ( around 3-7000 words). E-zines are for the most part straight forward adaptations of the print magazine format, to [...]
Since I started getting serious about photography, I have followed a relatively predictable pattern. As soon as there has been snow on the ground, I have quit shooting for the year. I hate snow, I hate the cold, and I have never found winter to be an inspiring time for any of [...]
As a designer, I’m always stumbling across useful resources and tools online, but for whatever reason, I find fewer tools that really exist to help make writers’ lives easier. That doesn’t mean they aren’t out there. It just means you have to dig a little deeper. Today, I thought I would share some tools that [...]
At least in the science fiction community, there’s a lot of false community wisdom floating around about the editorial process. Some of them may have been true once. Some were probably invented to mess with the heads of noobs. Some of them are carefully nutured lies, like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. Well, no [...]
That seems like an unusual idea, doesn’t it? That wielding a camera to capture single moments in time really has anything valuable to add to the process of writing stories? But it has, I think. Each time I pick up the camera, I think about writing, and each time I write, I think about [...]
