  1. Howdy Howdy!
    A quick note…the Pentagon (besides being five sided :-) ) is subdivided into rings, like those of Saturn. The outside one is the A Ring, then the B Ring, etc.. The D Ring is the next to last one, with the E Ring (the innermost one) being the er,highest ranking one.
    On Dell’s starting a blog: good luck to them. Remember, the Blogosphere is just like High School, so be prepared to get occasional criticism simply because you exist.lol
    Love & Peace, Clarence

  2. Shel & Neville:

    I’m back after 6 weeks of having to actually talk to someone in the car instead of listening to podcasts, so you’ll be seeing more comments again.

    Thanks for the birthday wishes. How’d you find out? I don’t remember telling you…

    I wanted to contrast Jupiter’s puny, unsubstantiated report with the most recent report on business book publishing from RainToday.com. I barely qualify as a blogger, much less a journalist, but they sent me a review copy of “The Ultimate Guide to Publishing and Marketing a Business Book” based on a couple of mentions I’d made of their earlier report, “The Business Impact of Writing a Book.” I got a 313-page PDF which includes a complete list of everyone interviewed, their methodology, data analysis, and author survey questions. And you can download a two-report package for $179 at http://www.raintoday.com/publishingseries.cfm. (No, I’m not affiliated with them—I was just really impressed with the report and the way they tracked down everyone who’d written about them before.)

    Jupiter must have all the same kind of information—they couldn’t have conducted their survey without it. So why not include it in the report? What’s a research paper without footnotes?

    Anyway, I look forward to keeping current with FIR again.

  3. Thanks a whole lot for playing one of our songs guys!

    The band’s name is misspelled a bit in the shownotes though ;-)

    Cheers,
