Hog Wild
This coming Labor Day weekend I shall be heading out to New Jersey to spend some time drinking beer, dodging possible hurricanes and cooking. This happens a few weekends over the course of any given summer (minus the possible hurricane) but it is usually only once a summer that I do battle against my most ancient of foe, the pork butt. And, no, that doesn’t mean…you know…pork butt.... [Read more]
Are You Kidding Me With This Month?
August is just plain silly. The last week especially so. I’m getting emails from friends at work talking about their high scores at sporcle.com, you try and email around to get together for some drinks and you get auto-replies telling you that people are in various insane vacation spots for absurd lengths of time and, oddest of all, my favorite deli is closed for vacation. Naturally, working... [Read more]
Writing a Recap is Horrible
One of the things on my to-do list for the upcoming book launch, beta release thing is to put together a “quick” recap of Probability Angels to place at the front of the new book. I figure it’s been over a year for a lot of you and you might need a refresher. Hell, I wrote the book and I needed a refresher. It happens with sequels. The other option is to try and cram a recap into... [Read more]
I’m a Genius
So I have about five artists reading through rough drafts of the first two parts of the new book, all of them picking out scenes to draw up. This is stupid amounts of fun and I’m quite glad I thought it up. Frankly it’s getting harder and harder to sit on this stuff and not share with you all. But, my desire to host a little countdown is outweighed by my desire to say, “Checkthisoutthisissocool!” Though... [Read more]
The New Book’s Title
I honestly can’t remember if I’ve mentioned the title for the new book anywhere yet. I said something on Twitter the other day but outside of that…well at the very least there has only been informal chatter. So today I decided to do a quick Q&A with myself as part of the official title announcement. This is like when they held a press conference to tell us that the new Star Wars... [Read more]
Nothing New to Report
Today I went to pick up lunch at the local deli, Lansky’s, and I saw this guy filming a show of some sort. He was the runner up on The Next Food Network Star. I guess they gave him a show anyway even though he didn’t win. They had all of the tables in the middle of Lansky’s taken up and a bunch of people were eating some sort of giant meat platter. And then he was saying things to... [Read more]
One Reader’s Opinion
So as I’ve mentioned, some of my long time readers have been sent chunks from the new book. Likewise some of my new artist friends have been given sneak peeks (If you’re an artist and want to help with the release of the new book please check out my last post.) I received this comment from one of my oldest readers in response to Part 1. I felt I had to share: “I’m hooked. Sucked... [Read more]
Call For Artists
With the rewriting well underway I’ve begun thinking about how I want to structure the release of the new book. What I’d like to do is have a little countdown here on the site leading up to the general release. And what I’d like the countdown to consist of is drawings (or paintings or whatever your medium is) based on the new book created by you, my readers. I already have a few... [Read more]
The Great Laptop Experiment
With family coming to visit for most of the summer I decided to try and turn myself into one of those “tele-commuters” that you hear about on the news shows these days. So I acquired a laptop computer and have been visiting with various branches of the Devon clan these past few weeks with the intention of getting my rewrites done while on the road. This hasn’t exactly gone swimmingly.... [Read more]
Underground Grilled Cheese
We here at Joseph Devon Industries thoroughly enjoy anyone who is doing things completely outside of the normal areas of operation. And if they are successful in their endeavor that’s even better. Better yet is if they are in our hometown of New York. Even better is if they are using cheese. Lots of cheese. Here is the Facebook page for a grilled cheese restaurant that isn’t. “Ronnie,”...
