This week's episode is a quick look at last week's zeitgeist, highlights of the "slushpile", and an editorial from Mike Kellat, the owner of Erie Looking Productions. A related commentary released online by Ontario public broadcaster TVO from commentator Jesse Brown connected to the editorial can be found here directly as an M4V video file.
Due to communications complications the audio payload was originally uploaded over GPRS via a Nokia E71x. Cable broadband is having issues locally apparently relative to throughput.

Author David Robinson essay on Virtues of Indie Ebook Publishing
Several weeks ago, Greg McQueen released a 100 Stories for Haiti podcast focused on ebooks, offering an insightful and well-balanced look at the state of ebooks. He interviewed multiple authors and even yours truly to explore what ebooks mean to authors, readers and the future of publishing.
For me, the highlight of Greg’s excellent podcast was Smashwords author David Robinson, a 60-year Yorkshireman who presented an audio essay on indie ebook publishing. This is a must-listen.
Mr. Robinson is a gifted orator, and he has created one of the best-articulated manifestos on e-publishing I’ve heard. One comment tha...

Finding a Voice for East Salinas & Teen Salinas Speaks (TSS)
They started out as a group of teens who liked poetry. They wanted and used the Cesar Chavez Public Library as a place to meet, write, explore, and perform, but little did they know that from their own words and voices they would inspire and create a city wide movement to build a brighter future for its youth. The group Teen Salinas Speaks (TSS) has created a whirlwind of publicity and gained a devoted following, and from their free poetry workshops to Operation Oprah film campaign, have gathered an entire community to not only explore the power of their words and voices, but combat and face violation and gang activity hea...

Twice a month, a growing number of library trainers participate in the recording of the T is for Training podcast and I join in when my schedule allows.

He is a person who soaks up information and wants to enable others - especially young people - to do the same, and he s...
