But not for anything of mine.

I'd like to direct your attention to the wonderful book Will the Vampire People Please Leave the Lobby. (Clicky link for Amazon.com pre-order!)

It's not really a book about vampires. It's a book about meeting people; about how communities become communities on the Internet; about discovering there are invisible people, on the other side of the glowy screen you're slouched in front of, that share your interests and become your friends. And it's funny. Oh my God, it's funny. And charming, and wry, and snarky.

Have you ever tried to explain your invisible Internet friends to other people, and resorted to a lot of vague handwaving? This book is for you. So go, use the clicky link and pre-order it. Trust me.

I think I heard the author on NPR recently. I'm glad you posted this, because it reminded me that I do want to read this.

OOOOOHHH!! THAT is going on my must buy list. When I get a few extra bob I'll be gleefully clicking "Buy Now!" on the web site of budget doom (No not Ebay though that does it too) our old friend Amz.

From the title, it sounds like something announced over the hotel PA system at a Convergence ;D

Looks fascinating!!
