Coffeehouse Junkie Podcast – Episode 013
This episode was recorded the week after the River Arts District studio stroll weekend (yeah, I know, it’s a bit late). It features an essay about writing titled “The Field.” Also, I read two poems, “Dead Italians” by Jennifer L. Knox and “asunder” by Craig Arnold. Listen to episode 13 here.

nothing like cramming two week’s worth of work into four days (& nights) *awesome*
“peace on earth,” a limited edition woodblock print/greeting card
the three-color block print art is based on a drawing by an eight year old. it’s part is a limited printing of 15. each card is numbered. these limited editions are printed on paper good enough to frame.
Not a traditional print shop
The kitchen not only functions as a dinning room & laundry room… it also functions as a print shop. big thanks to my eight year old child for helping with the woodblock prints.
woodblock prints/greeting cards
i transposed a drawing by an eight year old child into woodblock prints. typography designed by the child… all other mistakes are mine.
“christmas night,” a limited edition woodblock print/greeting card
the two-color block print art is based on a drawing of one of the kidlingers. it’s part is a limited printing of 17. each card is numbered. if you receive one of these limited editions it is printed on paper good enough to frame (if you so desired).
diy woodblock prints/greeting cards
i transposed a drawing by a four year old child into a two-color print.
this nice thing about using acrylic paint (instead of traditional ink) is that it drys quick.
woodblock printing on a budget… or diy woodblock printing.
i dug out some old art supplies & a few scraps of 2”x4” wood to create a limited printing holiday greeting card series.
the art for the print is my translation of a drawing by one of the kidlingers.
How to post work safe content
another reason to deep-six my tumblr account… often i unfollow new followers due to nsfw content. i’m not being prudish & i appreciate you following this tumble log, but i can’t view your content at work (due to #2 & #3 on subcreation’s list) or at home (due to #4)…
Ask yourself the following questions:
- Is it free of nudity and gore?
- Would I want this on my screen when my boss dropped by my office?
- Would I want a prospective employer or client to associate me with this?
- Would I show this to a 5 year old? (your site is public, so you actually might be showing it to a 5 year old)
If you can answer yes to all of these questions, go ahead and post it.
If you answer ”no” to #1 and “yes” to #4 and still intend to post it, spend a moment rethinking your life as you (please, at a minimum) go into the “Customize” page and mark your site as “Not safe for work (NSFW)” under “Advanced”.
Thanks
Magazines won’t die
Speaking from personal experience, I’ve noticed something lately. The more I use technology (and I am on this damn computer a lot…too much), the more I want to read a magazine. But I want different things than I wanted five years ago. Frankly, I want a break. I want to be surprised and delighted …
The Internet is a technology that enables people to go out in SEARCH of things. I’m all for that and love it to pieces. But sometimes, I just want things to FIND me. Sometimes, I am just tired of looking and typing and seeking, and I just want to sit on my comfortable couch and be surprised when I turn the page.
That’s why I believe magazines won’t die.
Writers mistakes
The death of print magazines is… exaggerated?
The year that was 2009 is drawing to a close and data from online magazine database MediaFinder.com reports that 428 titles have ceased publication in 2009, through December 14.
While any magazine going out of business isn’t good news, the silver lining is the total number of foldings this year (although anything could technically happen between now and December 31) is down significantly from 2008 (613) and 2007 (643).

reaching 171,000+ listeners with an average of 1200 daily downloads, i think this new media podcast project is beginning to take off…
I exist in real life
ireadintothings: I find it really hard to grasp that I exist in real life, and that I am not just a character from my own autobiography for people to read about. But that’s all that I will be, eventually. I guess as a writer, that’s your aspiration.
Send you my heart
