Hey, everybody, and welcome to another episode of the Dead Robots’ Society. This week we’re lucky enough to have the chance to sit down with honorary co-host PG Holyfield and discuss his experience with self-publishing his novel. Where did he go to do it, why, and what did he learn? Settle in with us [...]

All of the hosts are on Twitter, but I figured it would be a good idea to create a Twitter account for the show. That way I could put out tweets about when we’re recording, who we might have on, when episodes are uploaded, that sort of thing. The URL is:

As the other hosts have their blogs aggregated here, but I don’t have a blog of my own, I’m posting my thoughts directly here. I don’t blog because I think I should only say something in one that is important enough to need to be said. I know that’s not how everyone else seems to [...]

Well, it looks like tonight might just be me and… me. We had an interview lined up, but they said they need to reschedule, and so far they haven’t gotten back to me as to what date and when. So, if 5PM rolls around (our usual recording time – welcome to behind the curtain) and [...]

This week we discuss the topic of writing environments. Do we need a particular place, the right music, some candles, perhaps red curtains and dancing girls? Listen in as we talk about what works for us to see what might work for you.
And hey, I thought I’d post up a couple of pictures that show [...]

Well, it looks like the server move went off nearly without a hitch. Matt Selzick has been a dream to work with on this, and I know we didn’t pay him nearly enough for all the effort he put in (though don’t tell him that, ’cause we can’t afford for him to know it). The [...]

Hey, everybody! Justin here. Well, it looks like we’re about ready to move the site and the forums to a new hosting location. Hopefully, if the techno-gods are pleased with my offerings, then you shouldn’t notice anything. If you do, and the gods were kinda sorta pleased, what you notice should be minimal.
