That being said, the recent Philip K. Dick award […]
I took a moment to use Vine to capture how we build our quote library of 800+ quotes from geeky books. Currently our preferred method is to keep post-it note arrows close by while reading and use them to mark the spot. We enter them into our searchable database later to be used on Twitter […]
While Kallen and Jason played in Seattle, I got down to business here in the Rose City, sacrificing a WHOLE WEEKEND to the gods of Rose City Comicon.

Despite that, I took a break from moving to discover who the Philip K. Dick Award Winner was and to tune into the announcement of the […]
For GeekyLibrary, I was able to attend a number of author readings, attend a Baen books party (thanks!), and I passed out a fair number of business cards.
The winner of the 2012 Philip K. Dick Award will be announced Friday at Norwescon, and we’ve been busy reading them. So lets talk about them. This evening at 6pm (Pacific Daylight Saving Time), we’ll be hosting an informal discussion of the books via Google Hangout On Air feature, which will be featured streaming right […]
Yeah, we’re totally legit, because now your GeekyLibrary Crew has business cards, from Moo.com. Yeah, that’s right, I’m now the “chief editing overlord.” Also, meet Taylor, our Supreme Code Commander and Jason, the numbers guy. So if you like our new cards, be sure to catch up with Taylor this weekend at Norwescon and maybe […]
