iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Love that they’re pulling our podcasts for “infringing” but you know what *is* still there? These ridiculous scams where they claim to offer the whole book text but if you play the preview it’s a voice singing that to download the book, visit the link in the description.

It keeps staring back at me. Don’t love it.

At least it’s free.

As if it’s not hard enough already to get publicity for your book. 😐

Preorder early, preorder often.

It's funny how I feel like I've waited all this time and it's STILL two months until my book comes out. But two months it is! ETERNITY'S TOMB. November 24. Plenty of time to preorder a signed copy, ebook, or audiobook! Doesn't it look nice? dmoren.com/writing/eternitys-...

Thanks to vacation, start of school, and a bunch of other stuff, it took me longer than I'd hoped, and I ended up shooting past my initial estimated word count, but the first draft of the next book is...done. The words, there they are! Next up, the far harder task of making them the right ones.

I mean, if the Soviets found that out they 100% would have blackmailed that person into providing secrets, so story checks out.

In retrospect, should have been a real clue about Whedon. 😬

I was interested to notice that iPad only got mentioned a few times during the iPhone Duo announcement. Despite the Duo's internal size, the company is just positioning it as a big iPhone.

Lot of talk about values these days, so I just want to reassure you that I am and will always be the person to call if you need someone to eat a pretzel in basically any form at any time.

And the Inconceiveable! panel with Auston Habershaw, Sandra Rosner, Nikhil Prabala, quiz master Dan Moren, score keeper Jason Snell, and winners Trish Matson, John Coxon, and Cat Valente (cont.)

Three people sit behind a table, laughing, and the one on the very right end has hands up in the air while being triumphant. Two of the people at the table are identified by their nametags as Sandra Rosner and Nikhil Prabala.

Two men, one wearing a hat, red shirt, and jacket, and the other wearing a green shirt and glasses with his hands on the table they are both sitting at smile at the camera.

Three people, one whose last name has Matson on the name tag on the table, all sit next to each other behind two mics, smile at the camea.
