Okay, so maybe I'm not emperor, but who knows, maybe someday.

Anyway, after a long hiatus of actual blogging instead of posting videos and such, I felt the need to actually sit my ass down and write something. Now bear in mind this post is written at midnight, so anything I try to say that's at least the slightest bit humoristic, it's Laugh Out Loud funny to me.

Now that the warning is done, let's get to business, updates, updates, updates!

Update #1 - Move to Toronto

The move to Toronto was interesting to say the least. It took a while to adjust to the surroundings, however, about a month in, I'm feeling okay now. The room is small but adequate, classes are going well, I'm not super grades, but I'm just the lower class of super, and for me that's awesome! Work is work, speaking of work, I'll get to that in a second.

So all and all, I give the move not an A, but a very strong B+

Update #2 - Work

Obviously after my last job, anything can be an improvement. However, being in Toronto has opened up many opportunities for me that I never would have back home. Speaking of which, my new job has to be the coolest job I could think of. I just started working again with Amber MacArthur with her podcast commandN.tv as the Community Manager! This is exactly what I was hoping to do with podcasting and social media when I started creating my podcast projects. Amber is fantastic, as always, and the people she works with such as Chris Dick, and Will Pate are just as awesome. I'm really looking forward to hanging out with the community of commandN, and I have some cool content stuff that I'm working on, which I'm really excited about.

Speaking of which, here is a quick sample of what I'll be doing on commandN:

Trust me, there is plenty more where that came from.

Update #3 - New Online Projects

Of course, I can't really sit still long enough with all the creative stuff, I have to do more. I'm just odd like that. With that said, I've been experimenting with video lately, and it prompted me to launch a new video project called snowballTV.com.

Now, don't worry I'll still be blogging and updating this site here, but I'm just separating my video content and putting it somewhere else. Any cool videos I'm doing, I'll post on http://snowballtv.com and some of the best, I'll post here as well.

Oh, and obviously, Inklings 2.0 is starting back up again, and I'll be posting more episodes more frequently as well. Just as soon as Shane and I could sit down and record a bunch. :)

Update #4 - Writing

Ah yes, the thing that a lot of you have been asking for. "Is Steve ever going to launch The 12th Disciple?" Well the short answer is, yes. The long answer is that yes, I am going to be launching The 12th Disciple before the year is up. I have made promises to people about this, so I'm under the gun to get it done. With that said, the reason for the delay is that the story I had originally, and was going to launch in June, had changed drastically as I was writing in May. I had to make a decision whether to follow my gut with a new direction, or keep with the same one to release the story on time. I chose the former, and the story has immensely improved over the original. I'm proud of it, and I can't wait to show it to you all. Trust me, it will be soon!

Anyway, that's about it for this update. Follow me up on Twitter if you feel like you need to know what I'm doing on a daily basis, and are missing my regular awesome, funny, fantastic, and cool posts here to my blog.

I told you, LOL for me, for you, It's at least a L, I'm assuming.

So that's it. Take care, and I'll talk to you all soon.

As always, I remain, obediently yours.

So with Dragon*Con 2008 behind me, I miss it immensely already. I got to meet all my friends in Podcast Fiction for the first time, and they are even awesomer in person! Yes that's right I said awesomer! Anyway, here is a Flickr Slideshow of the pictures I took at Dragon*Con. Sorry for some of them being blurry or hard to see. I realized I need a better camera while I was at Atlanta, so couldn't be avoided. Maybe next time.

So here we go:

Hey geeks, geekettes, and cousin its!

Snowball here from our hotel room in Grapevine TX. This entire trip has been soooo cool! I can't believe how much fun I'm having! I'm so disappointed that I'm heading back on Monday morning. I've met some awesome people, reconnected with old friends, and just having a good ol' texas time!

Here are a few videos that were recorded by my friends Cali Lewis and Neal Campbell from http://geekbrief.tv

Things are gearing up at Snowball Central. Tests are being conducted, Scientists are scooping Snowballs from Mars, and the BBQ's are heating up. Today is a day for updates, this is update 2 of 4 for June 16th 2008.

It's been a while since Black Shadow has finished it's run here at SSdN (That's short for http://stevesaylor.net), but for some of you, roughly about 524 of you have been left in the dark as to the final moments of Black Shadows fate. Does he die? Does he defeat the Demons from taking over the world?

It's been a rough ride for our beloved blind technologically advanced hero, and it's an even rougher ride for those who are listening.

Suffice it to say that is my fault and then it wasn't.

Let me explain, I released Episode 14 of Black Shadow about a month ago and it's been hard letting this story go. I have lived and breathed this story for over a year now and updating the Podiobooks.com version of the book is literally the last part left in this year long journey. As soon as the final episode goes live, that's it. The book is finally finished. Part of me doesn't want this to finish, and yet I know it must.

So I am here to tell you all that the final episode of the Podiobooks version of Black Shadow has been sent to the great team at podiobooks.com and soon (hopefully before mid-week)you shall hear the final chapters of my very first book.

Thank you all for being patient, thank you all for listening, and as always I remain obediently yours!
