The story is much more complex than that, and gets really interesting once they get to Mars. I'm planning to use Podiobooks.com for distribution, they've already contacted me about it. I just have to set that up and see what their standards are. And, as you'll see by Monday's column, one of my projects has already been deferred until after NaNoWriMo. There's a disconnect between my ambition and my practical ability, but I'm doing better than I have in the past. That’s just the elevator pitch.

Let's hear more about naps. Seriously. Maybe a podcast even. Napcast vs Maccast. Big fun. Siglar hooked up with Mevio back when it was Podshow and audiobooked and audiopromoed the HellBetweenHeaven out of his stories and apparently there is or soon will be a podshow/mevio press pinching out deadtree media editons of the siglarsphere-Siglarverse? So maybe you could hitch your audio wagon to that and see if it pulls in some dough or a bigger fanbase at least. Good to hear you are writing fiction again. I have had the same bad Chipotluck from the burritos and sought one bowl not the other bol on numerous occasions afterward. Had to give it up. Bull Gates goes to Mars is not a good pitch to me. Where's the struggle or conflict? Bull Gates goes to Mars and- finds aliens who only speak Mac OS7. Now that's a story with a built in struggle nee conflict as the DOS Father tries to comprehend and then convert the masses. Less Twitter, more Type. Keep at it. Dude.
