So, let's get to it!
1. I'm working on my first two And Those Who Read reviews of the year. No school today, so headway on that front is very possible. VERY POSSIBLY POSSIBLE!
2. Thanks to reader and all-around-awesome technology-ninja Jmill for helping me embed the audio files. He gets a cookie!
3. Speaking of... here's how I'll implement the audio into the blog. I'll have some posts, like Juiced! and special reviews and a top-secret-new-thing-around-March-ish be exclusively audio. There's really no work-around of that, other than writing audio transcripts, which would mean that each post would take twice as long. So, I'm not doing that. But wait for the good news! I've tried to make it so that audio and text are balanced, and neither eclipsed the other. Here's the plan. In several textual posts, I'll have what you'll come to know as an ABC at the bottom. ABC=Audio Bonus Content. This'll be a 5-10 min. expansion on an offshoot of whatever I talk about in the post. You'll see what I mean.
4. Also working on reformatting Juiced!.
5. I may be posting less frequently come Februrary/March. No, it's not surgery this time! ;) I've received the role of FDR in my school's production of Annie. It's been a blast so far, but it's BUSY. I'll try to keep up with the schedule I'll talk about in the next bullet point, but no promises.
6. SCHEDULE
Monday: And Those Who Read on applicable days.
Tuesday: None
Wednesday: Maybe the occassional Webgame Wednesday.
Thursday: None
Friday: Juiced!
Saturday: News Post
Sunday: ScratchPad
7. Question: What do you not like about science fiction? What would you like to see from it in the future?
That covers it. I'll see you later today for Juiced! Episode One.

ReplyDeleteRemember, Tomato... embedding the audio files is supposed to do away with "cookies." :)
Mrs. M.
1) Excellent. Looking forward to this.
ReplyDelete2) To celebrate my awarding of a cookie, I shall go and eat a cookie.
3) I'm looking forward to these ABC's. And of course, the audio posts.
5) Congrats.
6) For Webgame Wednesday, do you take suggestions? Because I've found this webgame that would be a perfect fit for such a post. http://dan-ball.jp/en/javagame/dust/
7) I like science fiction, but one of the problems for me is that they try really hard to make references to current species dying out or some plots can be cliches.
Looking forward to the new episode of Juiced!
Hi T -
ReplyDeleteIn answer to #7, what I don't like about SciFi is the occasional tendency to use technology as a "magical" solution to a problem -- deux ex machina. Happens in Fantasy, too. It was one of most irritating things about Star Trek:TNG. I'm a huge fan of Star Trek, but it always irked me when they'd have some hideous problem and then hey-presto they "developed" a technology to fix it!
One other issue is not with SciFi itself, but rather the rest of the world's tendency to write it off as not worthy as literature. It's starting to be taught more as a genre in schools, but it is typically not taken as seriously as realistic fiction.
Be Well, and enjoy the snow day,
