Cancelled


Well, 45 days have passed. We plugged the Kickstarter drive to friends, on boards, in forums, on Facebook, on my blogs and even got some nice plugs from various big name sites!

But we only got 11 supporters.

So...for now at least there will be no Book of the Blog. 

Special thanks to all 11 of you who jumped on board, only a few of whom I knew personally! We will rethink the concept and it may yet become something. Just not anytime soon.
Thanks!

A Geek's Journal 1976--THE BOOK??


Coming Soon...maybe. Maybe not.

A lot of folks have asked for it--including a couple of publishers-- but I'm not convinced there's a market. The book would contain all the original journal entries but substantially increased annotations and much more perspective about what was going on in the wider world during that time period. We're thinking about going the Kickstarter route. Would you support that? Would you but the book? Let me know. If the answer is yes then we can make this a reality. I look forward to having my geeky senior pic on bumper stickers for promotion!
