holy crap, i’m in a book
Since I’ve had my weblog for a while and it’s picked up a reader or two, I’ve had my fair share of e-mails that my stuff should be in a book. Hell, maybe not even a book, but some type of printed form such that once they’re done reading, it could be used for more useful things: writing shopping lists, makeshift toilet paper, writing phone numbers for internet sex hook-ups.
So, now I am. The book is called The Very Best Weblog Writing Ever By Anyone Anywhere In the Whole Wide World Vol. 1 (no pressure) and will be officially be released on Amazon on June 30th, although you can also pre-order a copy of the book for $15, no additional shipping charges.
Twenty two people contributed to the book, and although some of the names don’t look familiar I’m sure they are great reads. And although my contribution to the book are blog entries that you might have read before, there’s some content written just for the book - think of it as buying a DVD of an old, beloved movie for the deleted scenes, and then being horribly disappointed at the scenes you just saw.
Also, I’ll get paid. Hey, not much - a portion of the book proceeds goes to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, if I’m not mistaken, and since the rest will be split between over 20 people, I’m sure I’ll be able to order a small coke at Taco Bell. But what a delightful small coke at Taco Bell it shall be.
