iPhone/iTouch app is up and running. We have seven days to get it, rate it, and take over the world (or at least 50 million members therein). Please enjoy responsibly. Coming soon! Interview Number 2 with the charming comedy team of Tom Cathcart and Daniel Klein (I'm not-so-secretly in love. Yes, the Husband knows). Flatland! [caption id="attachment_899" align="alignleft" width="273" caption="Flatland"]Flatland[/caption] My Dad's melodious voice will only be gracing us briefly before he has to go rescue the university (or a small part thereof). Many of our readers will be...CraftLit Volks! Huzzah! Do Not Fear The Math. (Or maybe fear it just a little bit.) The Kickstarter Campain wages on! Can't donate? Just pass the info on. I so deeply appreciate the support! And here's the link to the Hot Lava Cardigan. Oh! And Susan's interview with me at Knit-a-Journey! What fun we had! (You can probably tell.) Listen to the audio 150, booktalk starts around 20 min in.

O so many things to link to!

Here are some links to...gluten free flour mix, the Jean Reno movie Les Visiteurs, iPhone app info!, Flatland needs readers (text in left sidebar of link).

More iPhone app information will come as I know it. Those of you who indulge, I'll try to make sure the launch isn't TOO bumpy.

Well, not completely different. We’ll still be working our way through a book… I’m still on the fence about doing the Prologue to Canterbury Tales–mostly because finding a translation I like in the public domain is gonna kill me. (I got spoiled using that sterling one when writing curriculum.) Regardless the Chaucer drama, there will be Flatland! O yes. There will be. Narrated by my very own Dad. Ain’t he a trooper. He also has a lovely baritone, so I think you’ll find it soothing. Actually, come to think of it, he read Roughing it and Ben Franklin’s Autobiography to us before I turned 13–and I liked and remembered those books, so you have to figure he’s pretty good. Plus he has a beard like Pa Ingalls, so how can you go wrong, eh? Alice in Wonderland is tabled for now–all who wrote in agreed that the language play is too visual (like The Phantom Tollbooth) for you to really hear the jokes. There was a suggestion for The Secret Garden after Flatland…and I have to say…I’m intrigued. I think it’s down to that or Connecticut Yankee. Thoughts? Comments?
