New blog post: my weekend at INIT HELLO, a new Apple II convention in Baltimore. I met a lot of good people, and shared my upcoming anthology Overscan. https://nantucketlit.com/blog/2025/08/2025-08-01_init_hello_2025.html #INITHELLO @init_hello @[email protected] @amin @NylaWoethief @hankg Photo by @samknutson

@[email protected] I'll be sharing this video of my #INITHELLO talk soon, but I do talk about my #NoAI stance.

I had a very good time at the #INITHELLO convention in Baltimore this past weekend. It was so great to meet fellow Apple II enthusiasts.

I'll be sharing a blog post about the event tomorrow. @init_hello

Thank you to #INITHELLO for the chance to talk about my Primeval Machine Book format. I've been working on this for quite a while, and I was glad to finally share it with you.

The talk was recorded, and I will posting a transcription to my blog this week. @init_hello @dinchenix @amin @atgonzalez @rl_dane #nantucketlit #ebooks #freeculture #freesoftware

Like #syndication for content? My blog supports #rss, #atom, and #jsonfeed. I'll be working on getting syndication going for my site's catalog as well.

New blog post: I'll be publishing a new book at the end of the month. Father's Day is a masterful crime yarn from Sefton Eisenhart. It will be published as a collectible, limited-edition chapbook, typeset using a 1960s IBM Executive typewriter.

Anybody #jsonfeed enthusiasts here? What reader do you use to read your feeds?

New blog post: I write my blogs in my Shanty markup language, and then parse the plain-text into separate blog pages. It's all done with #FOSS software. It's #SmallWeb and very accessible. https://nantucketebooks.com/blog/2025/02/2025-02-25_a_new_blog_platform_in_development.html

I am ready to open this up to other people and start a blogging platform for whomever is interested. #Syndication via #RSS, #Atom, *and* #jsonfeed.

Here's a video about Bruce "Buffalo" Beck, a regular contributor to #quarterup and author of Tales of Metal Fisherman. He passed away earlier this year.

He had told me that in the event of his passing, I should give a reading of the last page from Robert Bloch's autobiography. Here you go, friend. https://youtu.be/__ondBFfMVM

I have just seen the art for the summer issue of #quarterup, our #pinball newsletter. It is absolutely amazing. I cannot wait to share it with you next month.

The summer issue of #quarterup is underway. We've got some exciting articles planned about #pinball and #Arcade gaming. The cover is going to be phenomenal. You'll only find it at https://nantucketebooks.com

I have cleaned up the #harlan_ellison directory. Now the list of story titles and the section of story titles match up. There are 360 titles in the directory as of today, including essays, short stories, screenplays, novels, and book introductions. This is somewhere between 21% and 33% of Harlan Ellison's total work.

Big announcement: the next issue of #quarterup will be published *this week*.

I have not been posting as much, or updating about Nantucket E-Books, because I just moved.

I like the area where I am now. Cleaner air, and *walkable*. I have a great many goods and services within walking distance now.
