ATSOISE – SouleEngravings.com missing in action.

One of the first places a story of mine appeared was at a site called SoulEngravings.com or ATSOISE (A Tangled Script of Intangible Soul Engravings).

Here’s a list of downloadable audio books for your mp3 player. I will start the downloads tonight and load up my ipod. Most of these are not professionally done, but they are well performed, at least the ones that I just sampled. My only objections is that there is some echo added to a one […]

Phillip K. Dick Mug

Hey, I also discovered that I had a cafepress.com store where I actually designed a Phillip K. Dick T-Shirt and Mug. I checked the sales figures and I even sold a few, although CafePress sits on the cash until you reach some very high minimum. Phillip K. Dick Mug

Speculative Fiction Stencils

I’ve came across a bunch of stuff that I had at some of the domains that I let slide. I used to have a bunch of domains that I had ideas about using, but I am letting a few of them expire. One of the domains had some media oriented projects like the stencils I […]
