Hi Guys,
As some of you already know, I no longer have a Facebook page. It wasn’t them, it was something Dad and Jenny decided was best for me. So i wanted to talk about that and parents in general. Because I think it’s important and maybe help my younger followers.

First off, let me say Facebook was cool and fun. But there were things going on I didn’t know about until later. See, once you put yourself out on the internet, and you’re young like us. It’s going attract bad people and creeps. I was totally locked down, only people I added was people we know. And dad says I still got like six or seven people trying to follow me that he said looked very scary. (That was weekly.)

A Chip-in fund has been started for Tee and Sonic Boom to get some cash for their current expenses. A second Chip-in fund will be setup tonight for people to send money so we can open a trust fund for Sonic Boom. Ron Dauphin, a friend of the family, SVAllie, and Paul Fischer will be setting up the trust fund according to the family’s wishes. I will post that URL as soon as Ron sets it up.

The link to the Chip-in site for their current expenses can be found in the column to the right here – you can also post the Chip-in widget on your own site!

Thank you all for any support you can give to Tee and Sonic Boom in their time of need.

Natalie Morris, wife of writer/podcaster Tee Morris, passed away today due to complications with the flu. Please join us in remembering her and her family, especially her daughter, affectionately known as “Sonic Boom”, today. If you are interested in the Sonic Boom Trust Fund, you and fill out the form here to be put on the mailing list.

Tee, our hearts go out to you and SB. We love you!

Pretty accurate, actually!

Update again: Apparently my podcast server got hacked and is now in the process of being cleaned up. Please report anything unusual you might find on my site to me. Hopefully we will be up and running soon!

Update: The podcast is recorded and I just need to reconfigure my FTP client to let me upload it. It will be up ASAP!

Hi guys,

I promise a new episode is coming soon – just got slowed down by a sick Kevin and a Windows 7 upgrade. But both are improving, so you will get something soon! I intend to cover “Hidden Talents and Halloween”, so feel free to voicemail in your stories of either! 206-202-7309!

Hi gang! I am suffering from an unusual pre-con cold, so I have no voice to do a show for you this week. Hopefully I will get a Pre-DragonCon show out for you next week. I am totally excited that I will be on a panel for The Dollhouse that will also include The Guild’s Felicia Day.

I’ll talk to you next week!

Hi guys,

Have I got a book review for you. ))) I have found my Harry Potter replacement, and I think after this you might as well. This series is just that good.
