Well, I just got back from having a very pleasant lunch with podcaster (or is that PodgeCaster?) and author, Joseph L. Selby.

[Sophistic & Man-About-Town]

We discussed his work (media associated with college textbooks), his commute (a long one), his writing (especially the plot for his novel-in-progress Jehovah’s Hitlist), and even a little about his association with the PodgeCast and the other PodgeCast hosts.

It was a lot of fun for me to meet in real life, someone who was little more then a voice over my car speakers and an online presence. Among other things, it reinforces the “there are people in there” feelings about the Internet. Further more, the world is a smaller place then we suspect and the RPG hobby is smaller still.

Unfortunately Joe will not be able to attend JiffyCon this year, but if you’re going you’ll see Tresi and I! (Maybe Joe can go during a JiffyCon held in his industries off-season.)

PS: Thank you, Joe, for being gracious and taking time to talk to a total stranger. When you’re rich and famous I can tell everyone “I knew him when …” and when I end up on America’s Most Wanted you can point and exclaim “that was a close call!” (Just kidding )
