My new blog, with a humor focus, is on clattertron.com. This blog, on danieljhogan.com, will be used for weekly links, news, general updates, and jokes about the metric system.

Links! Because everyone loves having everything I do in one handy place. I like being handy. As Red Green always says, “If the women don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.” Good advice, that.

Yes, Ginger and the Geek has come to an end.

At least for now. I will confess, I feel as if a great weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I loved the show, but doing it weekly was a lot of work, and Kat and I felt like we were just spinning our wheels (not really growing). What is growing, is Kat’s blog traffic, to the point where I encouraged her to go off on her own. Kat’s new website (<shameless plug>which I helped set up</shameless plug>) is gingeradorned.com. Not having to worry about producing a show, or writing additional blog posts I wasn’t happy with, is a huge relief.

Speaking of relief, The Magic of Eyri will be ending soon, as I have started editing the final episode. I’m going from two podcasts to zero in the span of a month. Ye gods!

Helping to fill the void will be a new column I am starting with The Idler, called In the Dark (Without the Guilt). It begins next month. I will write about films I consider (not so) guilty pleasures (ex: Hudson Hawk, Cabin Boy, and so on). I have been MIA on The Idler for a few months now, since In the Queue was mothballed and our latest Gamers’ Club finished, so I am eager for a return.

And Lord knows, I can talk about Hudson Hawk or Cabin Boy at length.

My new blog, with a humor focus, is on clattertron.com. This blog, on danieljhogan.com, will be used for weekly links, news, general updates, and occasional references to 1980s sitcoms.

My links and such for the past week. Big stuff is on the horizon. The actual horizon, not the Plymouth Horizon. If you have never heard Lewis Black’s bit on the Plymouth Horizon, dig it up.

Originally, Kat and I were going to keep the Ginger and the Geek blog going after the show ends this week, but we changed our minds. Kat’s fashion blogging is taking off, and I suggested it might be time for her to go out on her own (plus, I haven’t really been happy with my blogging on Ginger and the Geek).

The upside is, this gives me more time to focus on my comics and humor writing for Clattertron, and my fiction writing–mainly the novel I have been working on for the past year. Yes, I had hoped Ginger and the Geek would have been bigger than it was, but I don’t regret giving it a shot for a second. I met a bunch of great people in town and made many new friends, so in my book (not the one I’m writing), that is a win.

This also frees up more time for me to play Civilization 5 plan my life (and wedding!) with Stephanie.

Podcast news! We will have our final Ginger and the Geek Podcast (at least for now) next week.

Read my blog posts about the Clarion Write-a-Thon (which ended over the weekend), or check out my writer page.

Yes, it is true. The Ginger and the Geek Podcast is coming to an end next week.

We had a good run, and there are many reasons why we decided to stop, but the main reason was it was just too much work each week. A big thanks goes out to the folks at the Lansing Public Media Center for giving us the gear and the space for the show. Who knows, I may do a different podcast in the future, with or without Kat, but  at this point, I’m looking forward to escaping the grind of a weekly show (which I don’t get any money from). I have been approached about joining other podcasts, and I will have more information once those shows happen (I would just be a ‘talent’ role, and not having to do the editing/uploading/etc).

Speaking of podcasts, Magic of Eyri will be ending next month with its final episode.  Three years of hard work has come to an end (assuming I don’t run into any problems getting these last two shows online). It will be nice to say, “I podcasted my entire novel.” Even though it was fun, and a great learning experience, I look forward to being finished.

Hard to believe, but there was a time, several years ago, when I didn’t have three blogs, two podcasts, a webcomic, and a new novel keeping me busy. Good grief, what did I do then?
