10/30/2026It's the last day for @zzclaybourne's new book, and he's just $71 short of breaking $8k!
That's when he'll do better than a trad deal. You're good people and want indies to beat big business, right?

10/30/2026No, I don't always write technoporn.
But when I do, it's because I have a story that cannot be told any other way.
So, uh, last weekend this happened:

10/30/2026Completely forgot: today's #60SecondsOfWIP came out at 5AM today: "What Flunkies Are For."
10/30/2026I'm officially a Kobo customer now.
If you're in Kindle Select or whatever they call it now, I'll never see your work. Sorry.

$175 for @zzclaybourne to break $8k.
I wuld love to wake up and see that. Just saying.
No, I won't make a penny off this. But full disclosure: if it goes that high, he'll probably spring for Rock & Rye floats.
10/29/2026The purpose of a system is what it does.
The purpose of cryptocurrency is crime and money laundering.
Every so often, though, I have an impulse to support bitcoin on my store. Take payment, immediately convert it to cash, transfer to my pocket. Wouldn't that be better than sending that cash to crooks?
Then I come to my senses. That ecosystem soils all who touch it.
Looking at the news today: I chose wisely.
10/29/2026Worked on #openzfsmastery L2ARC, and am now completely fried. I could push it, but it'd break my brain tomorrow.
Dinner then dojo meditation class.
10/29/2026First draft of #openzfsmastery chapter 12 complete! Moving on to chapter 15 because my brain needs a break.
Still trying to finish first draft before my shoulder surgery. I'd appreciate your support. https://mwl.io/sponsor

Nodding so hard I'm making myself dizzy.
10/29/202610/29/2026After decades of working with computers I am generally correct--after all, "It will all end in tears" is evergreen.
That's why I encouraged @zzclaybourne to Kickstart his new book. I wanted to be right about something happy for once!
If this breaks $8k in the next 38 hours, he will net more than a trad pub advance would get him. Make the world better.

10/29/2026Got the "All the Novels and Collections" and "The Full Michael" updated on my bookstore for #TwistedPresents and #tormentedByTeledildonics.
My art skills are marginal, but I am very pleased with how the image for TFM came out. Even if the youngsters won't get it.

10/29/2026Arsenic & Old Lace was delightful.
And now: rats.
10/29/2026I have never seen Arsenic & Old Lace.
Fixing that.
