My Friend Tee Morris
Jan 9th
He’s one of the most generous men I’ve ever met. 
When our podcasting friend Joe Murphy died, Tee was the front man for the website and podcast, first to raise money for Joe’s family and then to help fight leiomyosarcoma.
Tee was a founder and one of the first authors to give away their audio books at podiobooks.com. He’s been recording and giving away his work since.
Don’t get me wrong, he’s also trying to sell his published books. I really like his Morevi series but Billibub Baddings is my favorite. He and Evo wrote the original Podcasting for Dummies.
Plus, he’s a hell of a DJ. And adorable. And sometimes annoying with all that energy. I could bring up positives about Tee all day.
But with the recent passing of his wife Natalie, he’s now also a single father. The community has come together to help him in one of the few ways we can:
We can help take some of the financial pressure off Tee in raising Sonic Boom. Believe it or not, authors aren’t rolling in it. Hopefully we can be as generous to Tee as he is to us. I’ll be donating as soon as I can.
So if you have a few spare bucks you can send along to someone who will definitely need them please do so.
It’s Official

As of now, I’m charging for my audio editing skills. I’ll continue to do the ones I’m currently doing for free, but from now on unless I really really like you, I’m asking a fee.
You can see I’ve added a page to my website with some details, so if you want to avail yourself of my free time or know someone who does please pass along the information.
When worlds collide
Nov 12th
It freaks me out.
Twitter just started this listing thing. You can assign the people you follow to various lists. I got about halfway through and gave up.
Certain people are older Internet friends from the McCaffrey boards and BPOI. Some of those I’ve met in real life and a few are actual real friends now.
Certain people I’ve met through podcasting. Some of those I’ve met and are real friends, some are just fans (which is freaky in and of itself) and some I’ll never meet and really have no connection to, but follow because. A handful are writers I’ve met through podcasting who have become both semi-celebrities and semi-friends.
And then there’s the real life family, friends, kid’s friends, etc.
It’s weird enough when, because of some interesting banter or retweet, person A from list B starts following person R from list D.
Right?
This completely freaked me out today:
Katie Berry is one of my daughter’s friends we’ve known since Kindergarten. Seth Harwood is a published author and podcaster and cute as hell. They cannot know each other! Coincidence has made my mind explode.

Kira’s vocabulary has exploded too. In the last few days she’s started say things like, “Just listen to me, LISTEN to me! Be very careful out there so the monsters don’t get you.” She’s so insistent. And today in the car when I asked her if she was going to behave in the store she answered with the most nonchalant “of course” I couldn’t help but burst out laughing. Casey’s friend Charlie tells me Kira got up at the crack of dawn the other morning and proceeded to (attempt to) wash her dishes.
At this very moment she’s dancing to Funky Town in Shrek 2. I wish my camera had batteries. Crap.
