AVAST, ye scuppers! It's been awhile since we've done anything nautical around these parts, and I've been wantin' ta tell ya's of a new book by a swab name o' Eric Geary.

James Anderson, one of our regulars here (under the user name jasperjones22) is a science grad student with a very common problem: lack of funding. Specifically, travel expenses to get to a conference.

So, for at least the first one, he's set up a fundraiser at indiegogoRewards are a certain amount of his brainpower, depending on how much you donate. Ten ( Read more... )

Whew.

I'm in the middle of so much stuff right now, it's making me crazy. Fortunately, I think I've figured out the rudiments of a system wherein you can help me get back towards a regular income, and in return you get a bunch of music.

I have set up TSO to take subscriptions.

$20 for three months, $30 for six months, $50 for a year. I think ( Read more... )

I've been so distracted this past few weeks that I haven't mentioned our old friend Zander Nyrond, smallship1, has a new/old album. The Filk of Human Kindness, a complete rerecording/reimagining of his first solo album, is now available for both listening and purchase at Bandcamp.

Old FuMP Guy: Songs of The FuMP, Vol. 3 is precisely what it sounds like, and includes studio versions of "307 Ale", "Operation: Desert Storm", and Luke Ski and I doing "Cthulhu ( Read more... )
