New SFBRP – many science fiction series

28th
Mar. × ’09

I get loads of books suggestions for my book review podcast. Many people suggest books I’ve read before. I don’t mind this, as if I liked the book the first time out I’d be happy to read it again and review it again. However, lots of people have suggested not single books, but entire series [...]

Today…

27th
Mar. × ’09

I don´t have much time to post here, but the cruise is going well. I did two shows last night, and both went down a storm with the audiences. Unfortunately they both ran for over an hour, and I´m only meant to do 50 minutes. Thankfully the my show seems to be entertaining enough to [...]

Berlin Buddy Bears in Buenos Aires

22nd
Mar. × ’09

The mascot of Berlin is the bear. To prove the point, hundreds of large fiberglass “Buddy” bears were made to decorate the city. They proved a big hit, and now they ravel the world almost as much as I do, although at a slower rate. I found them all lined up in Buenos Aires, and [...]

Work trip starts tomorrow.

19th
Mar. × ’09

Tomorrow morning I have to get up at stupid o’clock to catch a flight to South America. I’m away for two weeks, roughly following the route you see above. To explore the trip in more detail, you better go to the sosauce.com page. I’ve been to all these locations before, but I plan to do [...]

“Mocking the WJF” … yawn.

18th
Mar. × ’09

My epic failure of a WJF balls routine was posted on YouTube a few days ago. I’d put a link to it, but it really isn’t worth watching. The kind of tricks the World Juggling Federation wants aren’t the kind of tricks I’m particularly interested in performing, so my routine was put together a few [...]

Service.

17th
Mar. × ’09

I like good customer service. I bought a coat Last December. A few months later some of the fabric was fraying around the edges. I took it back to the shop and they gave me my money back. Why can’t all shops be like this? For the bad weather next winter I’ll buy a coat [...]

Pola one, Luke a million. Pola wins.

15th
Mar. × ’09

A few weeks ago (Monday, March 3rd) I mentioned that Pola and I “made” a table tennis table for our living room. It isn’t ONLY for table tennis, as we also use it for larger dinner/breakfast gatherings and for large art projects. But table tennis is, by far, what it is used for the most. [...]

The day I went viral.

13th
Mar. × ’09

Back in 2003 I made a fun little animation (see above) and posted it online. It went viral, and so many people linked to it that it crashed my website. For the next few months I got loads of emails either saying “Is this you?” or “You’re a juggler, I thought you’d like to see [...]

Crystal clear.

13th
Mar. × ’09

Last week I posted about completing a first draft of a novel. Tektonick added a comment, including the line: “…I want to say that I’m very impressed with all the projects you seem to keep pushing forward so damn easily. My hat is off to you!” Of course I took offense at the “so damn [...]

Submitting to fiction publications?

13th
Mar. × ’09

Timo added this to the end of a comment on a previous post: “By the way, are planning to submit your novellas to any science fiction magazines? Analog/Asimov’s/F&SF?” I’d never given the idea any thought, so I looked up the relevant websites and mulled over the concept for a day. Maybe this won’t be a [...]
