I can ride a bike just fine. As a kid I had the little red tricycle and moved up to a pink Huffy with tassels and training wheels sometime around kindergarten. We lived on a narrow unmarked road as a kid so watching for cars was important but our driveway was long enough for me to have fun just doing circles around...
So a while back I wrote a post about zines. In that post I talked about how I felt that making a marketplace for zines would be too difficult to monetize. And by monetize I don't mean make me money but generate enough money to pay for its own hosting and upkeep costs. But to have like, some sort of online zine...
this post is in response to this post by lwgrs and this post by donthave2sting. I am also not going to talk about shortwave radio in this post as it's outside the scope of these two but historically speaking it predates FM radio and was crazy. Google it. It's crazy. I have probably mentioned this before when I talk...
I have to preface this with the fact that I am objectively bad at shooter games. Worse when I am on a team where my job is to assist. Last week my husband was playing ARC Raiders after work and mentioned the fact we never play videogames together. We really haven't played a co-op game since Diablo III and even then...
In 2009 I started my first little zine. Back then I still did art full time and kept up with my artist friends and such. The zine was online, just a self hosted Wordpress site (It's all I knew how to do.) on a $5 a month cheap host. I would do a few posts here and there and try to get artist friends to check it out...
I have a couple of episodes sketched out for the next season of Y2KFM and was checking out what is popular in the podcast world. I have my handful of go-to podcasts to listen to in the car when dropping off/picking up kids and going to the store. Radio Lab Decoder Ring The Retroist Darknet Diaries The Empty Bowl and...
I'm taking a quick break this evening from my RPG story to air out my head a little. So as with any story I write I do a bunch of research and refresh my memory on how things were or are. What I remember about a video game from twenty years ago might not be correct. Like, I wanted to reference the onboarding for a...
Last night I spent some time talking to folks about books. I have several half finished stories that need to get wrapped up and I wanted to plan how I published them to get max eyes on words. Most people I know don't sit and read books. They listen to the audiobook and buy a physical copy to have as a token of...
I have too many pots on the stove. The magazine, the podcast, the ramen website, my own writing, the shop... I can't do all of that on my own. So. If Hardcopy doesn't take off by the end of the year, I'll just sunset it after Christmas and reinforce focus on writing and the magazine. I have three halfway written...
I spent the entire day cleaning and fixing up Game Boys for the market event in May. The consoles will run around 150-250 dollars depending on if they have mods or just new shells and batteries. Knowing full well I might sell a single console the entire day, and it's just for one day, I pulled a bunch of singles...
Thyroid doc visit tomorrow. I haven't been checking on my emails or anything outside of phone messages for about a week now. Friend showed me a 20 yr old photo from college and it reminded me of how I wasn't smart enough to get anything other than an art degree. I have skipped almost two weeks of writing. I am...
I go grocery shopping about twice a week and it seems there is a new "high" protein variant of nearly every product on the shelf. They have been doing protein cereals and yogurt for a good while now because those hide the whey powder pretty easily. And that's all it is, just whey powder. I get it, you are doing the...
