You may recall that back in July, Michael Kinsella published a text book titled: Legend-Tripping Online: Supernatural Folklore and the Search for Ong’s Hat (great review here) and I in turn promised to write a companion paper to clarify a few of the conclusions in his tome that I felt needed expansion or slight course correction.

Ong’s Hat: The Beginning is now available on iTunes for your iPad, iPhone and other ePub compliant readers. It is reasonably priced at$4.99 USD.
I will also be releasing an official audiobook through Audible.com later this year.
All this is in preparation for a new Ong’s Hat spin-off novel (a sort of meta-sequel) that is in the works for release early next year.
In the meantime, enjoy the “beginning” in your favorite format.

A very interesting article/review of Legend-Tripping Online: Supernatural Folklore and the Search for Ong’s Hat.
From The Chronicle of Higher Education: Now, from the you-can-learn-something-new-every-day files, comes Michael Kinsella’s Legend-Tripping Online: Supernatural Folklore and the Search for Ong’s Hat.
Read it here: http://chronicle.com/blogs/pageview/the-surprising-online-life-of-legends/29221
From the article:
The response of Joseph Matheny to Legend-Tripping Online suggests the success of Kinsella’s read on the Incunabula Papers. On his Web site, Matheny wrote that Kinsella “did an excellent job and only missed the mark with two or three of his conclusions,” which Matheny said he would clear up by writing a complementary account.

New book I’m in

My friend Michael Dean co-wrote a book with Alan Lastufka, titled: YouTube: An Insider’s Guide to Climbing the Charts. For some odd reason, they seemed to think my insane rambling has context and enough coherence to include as several pages in said book. Even though that is the case, I still recommend picking it up if you’re at all interested in indie/digital/on-line video/film. (Enough slashes?) Go now. Buy.
