I took most of this week off in an effort to finish the final publishing details for Loki Listens Volume 1.  I think the effort went pretty well.    You can now purchase my first book for download directly to your Amazon Kindle!  I’ll have details on the print release soon.  It’s in the final approval process.  I’m also working on a release for mobile readers.  More details on that soon.  Also, please remember the book is available in eBook(PDF) format for free on the ‘Classroom’ tab at the top of this page!

As many of you know, I am a regular guest on the podcast, Something Kinda Techy.  There is a new one up now.  You can listen to all of these podcasts from here.

In personal life, I’ve had some bad dental problems this week, but I believe they are now resolved.

With all of that out of the way, I think we are ready to head into Part 2 of The Cost of Magic.  Look for it tomorrow.

Monday Update
February 23, 2009

I was a guest on Cranky Tech in the early AM Sunday. Click the link to hear the whole hour.

This photo was censored on flickr without my permission or notification. I’ll be moving over to Picasa web soon.

I’d like to take a moment to thank a few great people at twitter. Phyrdancer was nice enough to design a logo for me.  Check it out below. Tonysteward was nice enough to give away 3 copies of Seth Godin’s Tribe. And I was lucky enough to be one of the receivers. Iaindodsworth, who created TweetDeck, was very helpful when I was utterly lost. Another twitter innovator, Mario, creator of twitterfeeds, was willing to go above and beyond to help me change my OpenID login info.

As you can see, there’s a lot going on with twitter again.

In blog news, there will be a post similar to this every Sunday now. Basic Ideology 101 lessons will be on every Monday now.

The eBook collecting the Developmental Theology 089 series is well under way and coming along well. For those of you that didn’t follow this series of articles, it focuses on introducing philosophical concepts to the average person.

Fable 2 has sucked the life out of me all week.  I’m on my second play through.  My friends come over to play it constantly.  It’s a pretty big deal.  hah.  I have 39 of 50 acheivements, and 800 of 1000 gamer points.  Not bad.

You would really enjoy Fable 2, no matter what kind of games you are into.  It’s been catching a lot of flack because it’s not very deep, and the story is short.  But, come on.  It’s freaking fun.  I can’t get enough.  Seriously.

Aside from that, a lot is going on.

• My depression has lifted.
• Posts every Sunday.  No exceptions.
• Posts may be even more frequent.
• Fun Stuff coming.  Including a weekly podcast.
• My Xbox 360 writes it’s own blog!
• You can now leave tips, care of TipJoy.  Check the side bar—>
• Part time day job starting soon, as well as a writing gig.
• Developmental Theology 089 eBook in the works.

Is that everything?  I doubt it, but for now it is.
