Pimp Your Stuff Thursday

[filkertom]

• If you've been thinking of getting some of my download albums, this is a good time to do it. Nothing special -- just the end of the month coming. :)
• This Saturday and Sunday, I'll be at S.M.A.C.C., the Southeastern Michigan Arts and Creativity Conference, at the Doubletree Inn in Dearborn, MI. $5.00 to get in online, $10.00 at the door. Lots of creative types there, including Carl Lundgren, William Messner-Loebs, and our own William Waldrop. Various indie films, dancing, and music. I've got a set at 5:00 p.m. Saturday.
• Also close to home for me is Jason Contardi, a friend of a friend, who does landscaping. The promo he's got for his one-page web site? His own yard.
• NPR is polling the top 100 thriller novels among its listenership. Seanan's Feed is one of the contenders. Click here to vote. Now look at Rob Wynne's LJ. Now look at me. Back to Rob. Back to me. Back to Seanan. Back to me. The poll is now an infinite collection of clicky boxes. I'm on a dead horse.
• Y'know that sign in the ER or doctor's office that uses happy and sad faces to help you "rate your pain" from 0 to 10? Anne pointed me to a version that's a tad more realistic.

Ready... Set... Pimp Your Stuff!

ETA: Signal Boost for Heather Borean.

My new CD, "The Last Arcade" arrived today! Sending out pre-orders ASAP.

It's also up on the FuMP Store.

YAY!

[palenoue.livejournal.com]

Is there any place I can buy it as a digital download?

[insane-ian.livejournal.com]

not yet, but it'll be up on iTunes, Amazon and various other places in the coming weeks...

[palenoue.livejournal.com]

Cool. Pimp it here because there's several songs I'd like to buy but I don't want CDs anymore. Been having a lot of bad luck with those lately.

[insane-ian.livejournal.com]

The CD is now up on CDBaby for d/l of MP3s...should be on iTunes and sundry in a few...

Great! I'll wait for iTunes as I've got lots of credit there. Thanks for letting me know.

WLP will be at AnimeIowa next weekend (if the Exploder holds up). In addition to the stuff we already had, I'll be selling DVDs of Dr. Tran and Homestar Runner, just added to the convention stock.

OH- and I'm trying to get MarsCon to answer emails- I want to see if I can get into the dealer's room for 2011. Wouldn't be surprised if they're already sold out, but it seems like a good opportunity to stock up on any and all dementia acts I want to stock...

Which one? If it's the one in Bloomington, MN, talk to lukeski.

[ebenbrooks.livejournal.com]

Um...I may have asked you this already, but did you get your copy of Geek Mythology (http://www.ebenbrooks.com/catalog/index.php)?

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Not yet, although I haven't been to the P.O. box. I'll check tomorrow.

[ebenbrooks.livejournal.com]

Okay. If it isn't there, let me know, I'll send another one.

Me? I got nothin'. But if your readers missed it, somehow, the Pixie is playing tomorrow night at the Kenmore Community Club. That's 7304 NE 175th St., Kenmore, Washington; there's good bus service, etc. It'll be fun!

I spent most of the evening playing City of Heroes. (The most recent power I got sucks eggs, I should respec for something defensive.)

Since many of Tom's fans are cat lovers, the Itty Bitty Kitty Committee is in the final days of their fundraiser. They set an ambitious goal (overly ambitious IMHO) but they may JUST MAKE IT. I already gave, so everyone else, Help Teh Kittehs!

Oh and Pharyngula is back up. I remember someone mentioning how the "unofficial" plan for Phelps at Comic Con was to ignore him. Well that plan didn't work. I like what happened better.

Support science fiction, read the bible!

Looking for work?

[realinterrobang.livejournal.com]

Let me help you write an awesome resume! I am a professional writer, editor, and researcher with a Master's in Language and Professional Writing, and over 10 years' experience in professional and technical communications. If you need an international resume or an academic CV, I can help there too. I also provide cover letter writing assistance. (A former resume client of mine got a job offer based on his resume and a phone interview.) I can send documents in a variety of formats, including Word, OpenOffice, PDF, and FrameMaker.

My rates are reasonable and I will take payment in any currency, although I prefer Canadian dollars (I am in SW Ontario). I also speak barter. Contact me in comments at my LJ or at shgstewart@gmail.com for more information or a quote.

I'm also available for technical writing gigs, communications consulting, or specialty research.

Ooh! I am definitely interested. People tell me my resume doesn't suck, but I'm still unhappily unemployed, so...I need help.

Signal boost: Animated Avatar/Airbender sequel.

[nightmarewriter.livejournal.com]

Set 70 years after the end of the first series, Avatar: The Legend of Korra will be about a female Southern Water tribe member. I learned about it from this pair of Shakesville posts...

There are links in those articles and in their comments for news articles verifying the info. Check out the sexy concept art. =)
