accomplishedSunday was the second Dragon*Con all-staff meeting, and we dragged Patrick along to it.
fosteronfilm picked up a box of submissions for the Film Festival. Waved and chatted to several folks, and did a bit of pre-convention coordinating. Things are ramping up. And my Daily Dragon staff roster is set . . . I think. Via the blogosphere (and especially through the efforts of
frankwu), the identities of five of my Launchpad classmates has been revealed:
Samantha Henderson (samhenderson)
Michael Livingston
K. Tempest Bradford (ktempest)
Lori Ann White (shaolingrrl)
Frank Wu (frankwu)
So that's half of us. Can't wait to find out who the other six will be!
Writing Stuff
The postal rate change goes into effect today. Ugh. Have you signed the Stamp Out Postal Rate Hikes petition?
From the website :
Save Small and Independent Publishers
Postal regulators have accepted a proposal from media giant Time Warner that would stifle small and independent publishers in America. The plan unfairly burdens smaller publishers with higher postage rates while locking in special privileges for bigger media companies.
In establishing the U.S. postal system, the nation's founders wanted to ensure that a diversity of viewpoints were available to "the whole mass of the people." Time Warner's rate increase reverses this egalitarian ideal and threatens the marketplace of ideas on which our democracy depends.
