Hello friends,
It seems like it was a busy week over here but I can't put my finger on why exactly. Some of it is the constant hunt to find things Sawyer the dog will eat. Currently, he’s back to eating boiled chicken as well as ground beef, hot dogs, apples and milk bread from 85 Degrees Bakery. And a copuple of brands of dog treats. Though not all brands. He also will eat rice but only if it’s mixed with sardines. What a palette. I got him to eat a little bit of dog kibble earlier this week but not much. So human food it continues to be!
Let’s see, what else. I had a dentist appointment Thursday morning, I wrote an episode of Know a Little More about ChatGPt, and I had a meeting about the kick off of my book.
YOUR BOOK YOU SAY?
Why yes, I do say. It’s launching next week, so I’m going to save most of the details for then. But it’s a non-fiction book, all about understanding technology and I’m publishing it through Unbound, a company run by my good friend Wil Harris the original Brit-O.
More soon!
If you like my fiction, chapters 4 and 5 of Hungry Earth come out Saturday right here on this very newsletter. Here’s the link to Chapter 3.
EVENTS!
I’m hitting the road again this spring, so come on out and say hi!
FOUNDERS DAY 2024 - THE ECLIPSE
Monday April 8 I’ll be in Austin, Texas for Brian Brushwood’s Founders Day celebration. There’s a lot planned including timing Pink Floyd songs and more. I’s say, “come on out and meet me” but there are only a few tickets left! So if you haven’t got one yet, go snap one up and THEN come out and say hi!
My Sister’s House!
April 25-28 I’ll be burning down cleaning out a storage shed with my sister in Illinois. I know. It’s OK to be jealous. Let me know if you want any mildly decomposed magazines from the 1970s.
TMS VEGAS!
Ah, yes. I’m also headed to Las Vegas April 28-30 for TMS Vegas. No, I can’t be there for the whole event, AGAIN. But I’m adding a day each year so maybe next year I will. This year I plan to do DTNS live from the Plaza Hotel at 1 PM Monday April 29. And somebody said something about Karaoke? Will I be singing BTS’s Blood, Sweat and Tears in Korean at Karaoke 노래방? There is only one way to find out. Come join us.
And then I go back to LA to help Eileen take care of Sawyer the senior dog. It’s goign to be a rocking April. Hope to see you all.
I got all my travel booked except a car for Austin. There are no cars! I get it. Lots of people are coming to Austin for the eclipse. I expected the selection to be tight. I expected the prices to be high. But none? Like none. That’s just wild. Maybe thy can find more before April 8. But that’s some crazy demand right there.
Top 5!
This week’s Top 5 is reasons the Mac Mini is the best Mac!
OK thanks all. I’m going to rest my weary bones a little for the weekend. I hear Le Sserafim won Music Bank. Yay!
Cheers,
Tom
