Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-05-29
- Recorded and edited a reading for Escape Pod, and recorded an ep of Watching 100 Movies for "The Apartment" and "The Wild Bunch" Busy day. #
- Trying to get on HBOGo to watch ep 7 of Game of Thrones, but having trouble connecting. Guess a lot of people with the same idea, eh{? #
- Sweet! Got through! Game of Thrones ep 7 on @hbogo Still buffeting a bit though. #
- Was able to watch 10 min of the new ep before the stream cut out on me. @HBOGO having troubles, looks like. Great service generally, but 🙁 #
- Alright. Giving up on @HBOGo for tonight. I'll be back tomorrow. But I'm disappointed. They didn't have to promise episode 7, but they did. #
- A little frustrated at the day-job today. Made a mistake which I own up to, but I feel the criticism I've received is out of proportion. #
- Last minute call for assistance! If you are available and would like to help with the Balticon New media Time Traveler's Ball, let me know! #
- @etherius @Nobilis @PhilippaJane @greydancer @Podiobooks Agreed. That was a lot of fun. #
- @dsawyer @Nobilis That's about how it worked, though there were some scheduling swaps, which is why both my episodes are earlier. #
- @Nobilis @dsawyer Indeed, a chain. I definitely recall a few places that went in way different directions than I'd imagined. 🙂 #
- @Nobilis @etherius @dsawyer Aye, there's the rub! #
- @jchutchins A wizard did it! #
- @jchutchins Actually, if it's a bad thing, I blame gremlins or my little brother. If it's good, I take credit. #
- Listening to the now-infamous ep of NPR Planet Money about @jonathancoulton. The nay-sayers are really pushing a bizarre straw man argument. #
- The question was whether or not he has a viable business model, not "Will he completely replace the entire concept of Music Studio Labels?" #
- Finished watching Ep 7 of Game of Thrones on @HBOGo and it was awesome. 🙂 #
- Pro-tip: If you've been feeling kind of crappy, check to see if you've been forgetting to take your "Not-Feel-Crappy" medicine. #
- @MattFnWallace What about the new one that has two separate spots on the label, one for "Cold" and one for "Super-Cold"? (A real thing) #
- #Balticon is imminent! Yeaahharrghlebah! (Sound of being really excited but not remotely prepared so anxious about packing.) #
- Note to all owners of human bodies: Sometimes things will happen to your body that you will want to tell others about. Don't. #
- Twitter is doing something weird with retweets. I get emails that my tweets have been retweeted but don't actually SEE them in Twitter. #
- @jramboz They look pretty official. If they are phishing, they're pretty slick. Look just like twitter's own email notifications. #
- @comedy4cast It is specifying actual people that I know and follow. #
- @womprat99 Hmm could be. Never encountered this before though. #
- @TonyMast I do now, apparently. #
- @jramboz I don't mind the emails, just confusing that I don't see the actual tweets. #
- @digitaldion I think that's the only logical explanation. #
- I <3 baby corns. #
- Argh! Work, stay done! Stay! Staaaaayyy! #
- Sweet! Won a free copy of Total War: Shogun 2 for PC from @DogHouseSystems I've heard great things! #
- Space Casey Script and Activity book now available on Amazon Marketplace! http://amzn.to/jROT8N #
- @VividMuse Will definitely have them at Balticon! 🙂 #
- @nuchtchas @VividMuse @choochus @PGHolyfield I have to pick up my Space Casey artist at the airport and will be back to hotel just after 10 #
- Here at Balticon & unloaded the car. Bad News: I have to get right back in it. Good news: it's to pick up my Space Casey artist at airport! #
- Awake and showered for first official day of #Balticon Last night's pre-con revelry was way fun too! #
- For Roto sub, how about bits of Justice League meeting, Monster shopping network Fangstensions and your Brian Blessed Xmas tree thing? #
- @Gary_TheGreat Yes! Plenty of copies for sale! #
- Listening to @mightymur read from Playing for Keeps 2 at #Balticon #
- @comedy4cast Yes, sir! Oh wait, I did it again! Damn! #
- @SFEley @pgholyfield and I just sat down at the Cinamon tree restaurant. You should join us! JOIN US! #
- The new hip nickname for @pgholyfield is "Mister Cryptic Tweet". #
- Quoth @vividmuse "Here's that protein shake I told you about. It's not like sperm." #
- @geekacres Wanted to join you buy just too early. 🙁 #
- Brunch with @pcharing @mgcady @MAinPa at #Balticon Soon, heading to help at the Dragon Moon dealer's room. #
- @indianajim Sorry to hear about that. I sympathize. 🙁 #
- Hanging out at the Dragon Moon Press table in the Dealer room here at #Balticon #
- Manning the Dragon Moon dealer table at #Balticon until 6, then iPad panel. #
- @jramboz I do have some objects which are available for money exchange. #
- @pcharing Don't think I didn't notice you walk right by me in the Dealer room, Mr. Haring. I see how it is. #
- Tweeting from my iPad while on the iPad panel at #Balticon #
- Horror! The bar at #Balticon has been taken over by 20-something normals in suits! #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-05-22
- @tdog4494 @Mainframe I really hope Phillip makes it to the end though, so we can here the culmination of his secret plan. #
- Stayed up late to watch both Survivor Finale / Reunion, and then Game of Thrones, and damn if they weren't both worth it! #
- @mainpa Hmm.. Seems to be a wordpress issue. Will have to investigate. All files should still work though and W100M has it's own feed also. #
- @Mainframe @GailSimone Hooray for corgis! #
- Reading several reviews of LA Noir and the consensus seems to be "Frustratingly just short of perfect." #
- More info soon, but if you'll be at #Balticon , leave Sunday night free for the "Time Traveller's Ball" New Media Party! #
- @daniinnc The review scores are good, but the review text spends lots of time on the flaws. So maybe big ambition coming a teensy bit short. #
- .@Gary_TheGreat At the #Balticon Time Traveller's Ball, guests from any era are welcome! #
- Just finished something I've been working on for a while. I'll tell you all about it soon. #
- Also, but unrelated to the last tweet. The issue with my website omni-feed should now be resolved. Please let me know if it isn't working. #
- So here's the dilemma. I have an announcement. Do I make a mini-announcement now and then pretty it up later, or wait to launch when pretty? #
- Just realized how silly it is to ask people on Twitter about delayed gratification. :p #
- Space Casey Season One: Illustrated Script & Activity Book is now available for purchase! http://tinyurl.com/SpaceCaseyBook #
- A blog post and video with all the details will come soon, but the book is available now! #
- It will come to Amazon as well, but buy from Lulu now to have in time for #Balticon (I will also have copies there with me.) #
- It is available as print or PDF, but I recommend print because it has activities, mazes, word searches & pictures suitable for coloring. #
- The Space Casey Illustrated Script & Activity book contains 42 pictures & 10 activities! http://tinyurl.com/SpaceCaseyBook #
- @mgcady Hadn't really settled that yet. What do they have in mind? #
- @hildebrandj Writing of Season 2 is in progress! #
- @planetx Hooray! Perhaps you even gotta wear shades! #
- @Mainframe Thanks! Hope you enjoy! #
- Many thanks for all the retweets, everyone! #
- @mightymur @petersagal I'm not a fan of Ben Stein, but he does have a point that false accusations happen. Remember the Duke lacrosse team? #
- @indianajim I really liked both Little Big Planet and Infamous. Though too bad for me I already have all five offered games. #PSNCreditPLZ #
- @mightymur Agreed. That part was asinine. #
- Boooo! Once again, life conspires to keep me away from board-game night with @mightymur #
- @mightymur *sobs* … I actually re-scheduled stuff so I could go this week! Then BAM! Last-minute day-job conference call. Stupid bam. #
- That's actually just a blog post, not a podcast. 😛 : The Space Casey Illustrated Script and Activity Book is here! http://bit.ly/m0dNlj #
- If you missed it: The Space Casey Illustrated Script and Activity Book is here! Read all about it! http://bit.ly/m0dNlj #
- Just remember: 'Crappy' is only an S away from 'Scrappy'. Remember also, however, that the reverse is also true. #
- I am tired because of my brain and all the stuff. Tonight, I will treat my brain to some sleep and the stuff to a vacation from my fiddling. #
- On an unrelated note, I just sat down into my chair very smoothly… Like a ninja. #
- @kittyniciaian If only Merrian-Webster was so forward-thinking. #
- @mgcady I don't think it's the relative noise level that matters as much as the attitude you express with the motion. #
- @mgcady Indeed! Try to collect them all! #
- @Gutshot I had not seen it, but it is stupendiculous. 😀 #
- .@mightymur #VisualizeExplodingKittens #
- I have spent the bulk of the evening learning and messing about with the Civilization board game. It is very complicated and awesome. #
- My favorite line from the manual so far is the part where it explicitly allows "Non-binding promises." #
- Just saw a Taco Bell commercial that showed 12 tacos all in a row, and my first thought was to try stacking them and eating like a Dagwood. #
- Reminded of an argument with a person who insisted that HDTV looked worse than SD because with HD, they could see the "triangular pixels". #
- On our walk this morning, Luna & I discovered an abandoned cupcake. Luna was unwavering and steadfast in her belief that she should eat it. #
- @Mainframe That's true, of course, if easy was what I was looking for. But what I wanted was the Twelve-Taco Dagwood Challenge! #
- Still thinking about the phrase "Abandoned cupcake". It feels important, somehow, like a verbal talisman of power, now unlocked. #
- @Mainframe Ideals are like the stars in the sky. We may never touch them with our hands, but we use them to chart the course of our lives. #
- @jchutchins @dodgyhoodoo Though no doubt, there will be many opportunities for them to try. #
- Tweeted without comment: http://kitchentreats.wordpress.com/2010/09/20/teeny-taco-cupcakes/ #
- Note: If you choose to participate in "Planking", I will not judge you. Neither will I be amused or impressed. #
- Grr… Broke an underwire. The poking! THE POKING! #
- @TonyMast "Stanley, poke your grandma!" #
- @arkle @thelindsayellis Venue: Ellis Island! #
- Just saw 'Source Code' and liked it a lot. Now heading to see 'Fast Five'. #

The Space Casey Illustrated Script and Activity Book is here!
Many people have asked me if I would ever put Space Casey out as a book, and I thought about it, but the story always felt better suited to script format than prose, that is how it was written, after all. So if I was to simply put out a copy of the script in print, I wanted it to have something extra. Enter Steph Cherrywell. I had admired Steph’s artwork for some time and a collaboration seemed like a perfect fit.
Buy it now from Lulu! (Coming to Amazon soon!)
Available in print or PDF (though I recommend print for the coloringy-activity-y goodness!)
And so here we are. The Space Casey Illustrated Script and Activity Book! In addition to the full script of Space Casey, the book also contains 42 awesome illustrations and 10 original activities, just like those great coloring and activity books you got when you went with your mom to the grocery store and she wouldn’t buy you a toy, but a book, even a Transformers or My Little Pony activity book was maybe okay! Check out some shots!
My corgi Luna would really like you to buy one, and you wouldn’t want to disappoint Luna… would you?
Buy it now, so Luna won’t be sad.
Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-05-15
- @jchutchins Definitely helmet with mask. The hood always had a sort-of 'laundry day' feel to me. #
- At the doctor about my intermittent back spasm. I predict they will tell me to rest, alternate ice and heat, and take advil. :p #
- Back appointment a bit more helpful than I expected. My predicted advice was supplemented by muscle relaxants. #
- @Bekemeyer I've got HBO GO through my directTV, and it is pretty amazing how much they're putting on there. #
- Via Boingboing.net A video that recuts Disney's "The Lion King" into a summary of all five seasons of "The Wire". http://bit.ly/joD9UA #
- @DDog @wootshirt hehe Yes! Very cool. #
- I was halfway through a bad joke tweet, but then deleted it. "No, that's too easy. I'll do a weird meta announcement / apology instead." #
- "Don't ya hate it when your perfectly-aimed angry bird fails because it hits the last bird which hasn't disappeared yet?" #badiphonecomedy #
- "What is the deal with all these Droid users? I mean, don't they like Kool-Aid?" #badiphonecomedy #
- Ugh… These back meds are making me feel not quite myself. I'm pretty sure I didn't used to be able to do math and walk in a straight line. #
- @jchutchins "Yes, Ms. Ellis, we thought we'd skip the part where you become a genius and go straight to the dumb part. Saves time, you see." #
- Just had a fun story idea: What if it turned out that only half the population has true free will and the rest are 100% deterministic? #
- @jchutchins By putting $100 into a small envelope and mailing it to me. (because of quantum) #
- @dcperry @spiritualtramp Hey! I wait in line for cafeteria food, and I am not nobody! I am SOMEBODY! I am! *sobs* #
- @dcperry @spiritualtramp We are cool! We should have a club. The "Cafeteria Line Somebodies"! #

- @PeterJReaper *fist-bump* #
- @BetaClone076 Ooh, what'cha playing? #
- Back feels better, but I feel like a gremlin is following me around with a bat, just waiting for me to be distracted & make the wrong move. #
- Today is both Friday the 13th AND my little brother's 30th birthday. Coincidence? I think… so, actually. It probably is a coincidence. #
- @indianajim Uh oh… The gremlin just pointed to the bleachers! *holds very still* #
- @GreenGlam Well, as it happens, I am unique in my ability to stay a 20-something hipster despite being 33. #
- @GreenGlam Incidentally, you are the first person I am aware of to call me a hipster. I find that I am pleased. #
- Just ordered the Civilization board game from Fantasy Flight. http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_minisite_sec.asp?eidm=128&esem=2 GEEEK! #
- Tank odd eats fried egg! #
- Wow. The number of TV shows that have made me cry is small, but this week, Bones made the list. #

- @minitotoro Could be! J.K. Simmons, who voiced Cave Johnson, has done lots of stuff. Unless of course you meant the ACTUAL Cave Johnson. #
- Wwew! Just finished a very long and difficult week at the day job, but THINGS WERE ACCOMPLISHED HOORAY! Now I will collapse for 60 hours. #

- A treat for me is "On fedex vehicle for delivery". I shall examine it, and if it is worthy, a treat for all Space Casey fans will follow! #
- It has arrived & looks great! Needs some tweaks but WILL be available by #Balticon ! It is this: http://yfrog.com/h7adlmzj #
- @nathanieletc Well, I've been keeping this one a bit secret until it started to finally come together. Expect a formal announcement soon. #
- For those who couldn't see the picture, "It" is a Space Casey Script book with illustrations and activities like crosswords and mazes. #
- @Mainframe As soon as it is finalized, which will be sometime between now and Balticon! #
- @mightymur I think PSN-based Netflix is down for everybody. Should still work on the computer though. #
- Running late today because my alarm clock is just too damn complicated. "What do you mean it has to be 'turned on'?!" #

- If it IS broke, DO fix it… Or don't… Or call someone… I don't know! What are you asking ME for? I can't be solving all your problems! #
- Johnny Credit: "I pinched a man in Reno, just to watch him cry." #
- Day job has been very busy and stressful for the last few weeks. But despite all the hooplah, slowly, surely, I am "Getting Things Done". #
- Just about time for #Survivor and @JeffProbst! Woo! #
- @JeffProbst I think, for Mike, the real factor was doing good for people. BUT I think he was aware it could help him also. #
- @JeffProbst @61_trbzn My buddy and Survivor podcast co-host moved to England last year, and he watches on iTunes the next day. #
- @JeffProbst #Survivor I've been rooting for Rob to pull it off, or maybe Matt. but Mike has earned some respect from me this time too. #
- That's one thing I really respect about Rob. He knows he's good, but he still works his butt off EVERY TIME. #Survivor @JeffProbst #
- @JeffProbst #Survivor Phillip: Crazy like a loon, or crazy like a fox? Can't it be both? #
- My back spasm is slowly getting better. Now, it only really bothers me in the morning… Like now. #
- @PauletteJaxton I like that plan. Mind if I show your tweet to my boss? #
