Gone Till Feb. 1st – Relaunch expected then…

Sorry I’ve been out of touch. My life is now busier than ever, and the fact is that baseball season/work isn’t even around yet, so I can’t imagine how busy it will be when that time comes around. I can’t wait for it though. Photography has kept me busy, as it’s now a class I’m taking. Maybe I’ll put some photos up.

My writing has slowed to minimal, which is the way I want it till I offically kick into high gear again Feb. 1st. That’ll also be the day I’m launching my new myspace for my authorial self, hopefully building up some hype for me as an author.

So stick around till then. For now, take it easy and if you’re in LA, stay dry!

Project Static

Project Static

Ladies and Gentlemen, the madness that is Static has begun. Click and gaze upon a revolution in the way books are written!

Seriously, just have a look at this cool project I’m working on now. It’s the first fully internet based collaborative book.

Keep an eye on us: we’re going to be big.

A New Project

Last night I was doing my usual banter with South African author Wogan May when he asked an interesting question. It’s a little too early in the morning for me to remember it exactly, but to paraphrase, he basically said, “You know what would be cool? If we could do a collaborative book.”

So, thus, a new writing project was born. But not just an old project, no, not with us at the helm of an idea.

We’re not using the old fashion style of paper, pencils and pens.

We’re not even going to be using the likes of Microsoft Word either.

We’ll be using a three-way combo of googleTalk, googleDocs and Skype. Once done with the novel’s post work, we’ll be self-publishing on through the highly-acclaimed internet based publishing house Lulu.

We think this is the first novel to be developed, written and published completely by way of internet.

So there you have it.

Right now we’re developing the plot through googleDocs. Make sure to pay attention to my youtube channel, so I’ll start updating it as soon as possible.

I’m Still Alive

I’ve been and I’m going to be busy for the next few weeks as this semester of college finally ends.

I wrote quite a bit while up in Crestline over the Thanksgiving holiday, and it’s followed me home. My long 6 month stint with hazy ideas is gone. Everything has become clear. Today I met with my former creative writing professor and we discussed how I can get published…I alos dropped off the prologue/first 3 chapters of my original work, “There”.

So for now, I’m in my writing studio, writing away.

Cheers,

Jared

Vacation

Starting Thanksgiving thru Sunday, I will be up in the mountains around Los Angeles. My family owns a cabin in
Crestline, so we will be going up for a four day vacation. We usually go up every few months, but this year we have not been up since New Years Day, so it’s been a lot of stress building up. When I come back, I usually can write like there’s no tomorrow. Plus, I usually write quite a bit while up there.

So, till Sunday!

That’s no Moon! It’s a Space Station (sort of)!

When I was a kid, I was really into everything astronomy. Over time, I lost that fire within me, but tonight, something resparked that.

Comet 17/P Holmes.

I was browsing wikipedia for info for a paper I’m writing tomorrow, and I spotted an article on the comet and upon reading “visible to the naked eye”, I ran out with a pair of binoculars. Looking into the low Northeast sky, I found it after ten or so minutes of searching. I dragged my parents out, and both found it immediately within the binoculars.

Then, I decided to take my PD-150 (a professional level miniDV camera) out and take a few snap shots. I ended up taking video since the shutter speed was super low (1/4th of a second, the photo mode only went as low as 1/60th of a second) and captured the photos from frames in the video.

So, ladies and gentleman, here’s one of the photos I took:

17/P Holmes can be viewed anywhere in the world.

More info can be found by clicking here.

Happy viewing.
