A few days ago, Scott Roche, AKA SpiritualTramp on Twitter raised a question about critiques. Do we want them? How do we want them and so on. What followed was an extremely spirited (natch) discussion about the topic. One I got involved in. Now, those of you who have read any of my posts probably know I cherish feedback. But why is that? Why do I care what other people think about my writing and podcasting? Well, I think it all comes down to knowing that I’m creating something people want to hear/read. But don’t I know if I’m doing a good job or not? Well, in a word, No. I am totally oblivious to whether my own work is […]

Hello Everyone, In this episode, the humans finally have a chance to stretch their legs. They have been cooped up way too long since being kidnapped by the Grokmar and they are all going a bit stir-crazy. They all decide to split up to do their own things.

Read moreA Change of Plans
First of all, let me say that my change of plans is not a bad thing. I am not stopping anything that I am already doing (i.e. weekly blog entries or either of my podcasts). I’m not even reducing the frequency of what I’m doing. So just what the heck is going on? Enough mystery. Let me explain. It had been my intention to offset my two podcasts.
