There’s a lot of crowd noise, so be ready for that, but otherwise it’s a good interview. I discuss Redshirts, electronic publishing, and the community right here at Whatever.

- I do feel sad fedoras are becoming shorthand for "socially-anxious woman-fearing dude" since it's a very fine type of hat. 23 hours ago

Plus, you look purty.
Yes, as a fellow man that is balding, the shape of your head is pleasing to the eye.
Is it wrong for one man to say that to another? I don’t think so.
Nifty, very good interview. I really liked the part about the usefulness of book cover art in the digital age. I’m not an e-book person (yet) and I hadn’t thought about that before.
Any chance of a transcription or captions for the hearing impaired? I was so excited when the interviewer’s questions were captioned but then the answers weren’t. :(
I have to say, John, having never seen you in person, you look good in this video. Maybe it’s the red polo shirt, I dunno. Anyway, just sayin’.
