I am indeed on the mailing list! Due to technology issues too complex to waste time on here, the audiobook product is a MUCH better fit for me right now than the podcast. If the audiobook weren’t available, I’d have to string the podcasts together and burn disks myself, which would not be anywhere near as much fun as just getting a disk with your names already on it. :)

@Tanya: Cool, we’re glad you like it! It was a lot of fun to record, too. We do plan to sell the audiobook as well. It’ll be interesting to see how the free audiobook podcasts affect the sales of the audiobook product. We’ll let you know! You’re on the mailing list, right?

@JoVE: Thanks! Also, the book is 5×8 instead of 8½x11, so it wouldn’t print out nicely on normal size paper.

@Megan: We can’t wait to record the rest of the audiobook, either! There’s been a bit of sore-throat-induced delay, but we’l start up again soon! And thanks for the Coulton USB link!

@Athene: Yeah, I had forgotten about both of them! Thank you!

@Nick: You won’t need to wait much longer! (:

@Justin: Thanks!

@Jen: Woohoo!!!!! Thanks! (: (: (: And we totally emailed you, too.

I so look forward to reading this and wonder: would there be a few pages about fear of mis communicating that would be a good excerpt for the (not) free e-book and audio thing I’m creating about fear during uncertain times? Would there be a section that would lend itself to being excerpted? I ask because several people in my survey mentioned not being able to communicate and feeling fearful because of that as one of their concerns…

BUT FORGET THAT FOR A MOMENT AND LET ME SAY BIG CONGRATS and whoo-hoos and hugs for getting your big project done!

Email me if you want to talk about this.

Oooh, that reminds me! Coulton is helping to raise money for Creative Commons by putting an unreleased album on a CC-branded USB stick — not only the regular tracks, but all of the separate audio tracks that people can use to remix the music on their own. This is TERRIBLY exciting to me and makes me want badly to give them money: http://www.boingboing.net/2008/11/17/unreleased-jonathan.html

Jonathan Coulton puts all of his music up under CC. He says he makes more now than when he was a programmer.

Also, Lawrence Lessig has all of his books up under CC.
