Scott Sigler Psyjacked!!

From JC Hutchins website:

Scott Sigler vs. Scott Sigler
Thursday, December 14, 2006

It appears that Real Sigler has had enough of the novelist’s twisted stories, which are damaging Real Sigler’s cheerful, clownly reputation. Real Sigler is about to get his revenge. This video details Mookie’s wrath ... with a nice surprise twist that 7th Son fans will enjoy.

You can see the video here (in iPod Video Format - M4V)

And my email to JC on the subject -

JC,

After watching the video from Scott Sigler (Mookie) I had to call Scott (Bald Headed One) and harass him a bit. I loved it. Can you get to Mookie and tell him I thought it was a riot?

Anyway, as I asked the Bald Headed One, does this mean he isnt a Tech-Tard anymore?

More thoughts - Does this mean he isnt Scott anymore? Is Scott now John? Will John keep up the same level of writing? Will The Rookie end??? Uh-oh, did Mookie start a paradox?

QTVR tour of secret govt. facility, as seen in sci-fi novel 7th Son

I cant help but push JC Hutchins' audio crack. This is one really well done podcast novel and its been helped along by a fellow reader who made some QTVR models of some of the book's locations. Please help spread the word, and Digg the story.

7th Son is a technothriller audiobook about human cloning. A fan of the novel created a QTVR virtual tour of the ultra-secret "7th Son Facility," a high-tech outpost described in the story. People can now see the cloning chambers, the field of Cray-like supercomputers, and more. 7S is released as a weekly podcast. This is a first in podcasting!

More Damn Books

As you can see from the Podiobooks area on the right, I'm an audio book junky.

In looking back over my past entries that are pushing authors, I seem to have missed telling you about one. I hope J.C. Hutchins will forgive me. I've been listening to his work as long as I have Scott Sigler.

JC writes a series called 7th Son. Its a blast to listen to and gets you hooked from chapter one. Consider this: The President is dead, killed by a four year old boy.

JC and Scott talk smak about each other in their podcasts, have made references to each others works in their stories and, I suspect, talk with each other as much as a fourteen year old girl and her friends do daily.

Subsribe to the 7th Son Trilogy!

Best Ubuntu Podcast

I have neglected to tell you about the best Ubuntu podcast around. Its called Fresh ubuntu and is hosted by Harlem out of Salem, Oregon.

Harlem takes the 'fresh from Windows' approach to getting you into Ubuntu. By this I mean that your learning Ubuntu as he does. He takes a lot of time with his research and putting the show together. Give him a listen!

You can subscribe to Fresh ubuntu here, or thru iTunes.

This is not to knock the post below about the new Ubuntu podcast I found. I just have not listened to it as long as I have this one.

Shoot, give them both a try!
