    Cory just finished his presentation at the Emerging Technologies conference (which I didn’t go to, though would like to next time…) and gave a presentation on the state of ebooks. I’ve read both of his released novels on-screen, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom just on HTML web pages and his latest, Eastern Standard…

  • Welcome to X5 Industries International Party Agenda

    “Welcome to X5 Industries International Party Agenda” “Worldwide Party People Manifesto “Our emotional state of choice is ecstasy. Our nourishment of choice is Love.

  • VistaPrint Business Cards Arrived

    The order of cards from VistaPrint arrived today. They look pretty nice, and came about a week earlier than they were initially scheduled to arrive.

  • I’m in the PST Tribe, I think…

    My internal clock seems to be set at somewhere a couple hundred miles off the Pacific coast (towards Hawaii) as far as awake / sleep cycles go. But I’m in St. Louis. Cory’s new book really gets it right. I really like his work. 🙂 Over halfway through the book, reading it on my phone.…
