Oy, what is happening in your zone?
Here at the R.F. Lucidity Command Center, also known as the bridge, we have been celebrating Easter and being a bit productive. That is how it goes on this ship of steam-powered goodness.
I said, OY!
We got some grilling done earlier. We applied charcoal heat to burgers, sausages, hot dogs, peppers, squash, flank steak, and an apple with cinnamon for desert. We had a feast fit for steam pirates. We had so much of a feast that we have yet another feast awaiting us in the form of leftovers.
Oy, indeed!
We hope your Easter went well also.
If not, there is always tomorrow.
Cheers!
P.S. I wonder if you noticed…

Here is RfL Behind the Scenes episode 4. In this episode I talk about the next Riff-Cast, titled, “When I Pondered Death, Taxes, and Lexus Ownership,” which will drop tomorrow evening.
I talk about being a part-time steam pirate captain, space battles, making an atmospheric run, and having no time for plunder.
I talk about the rumored Steam console by Valve, and a hilarious review of The Olive Garden restaurant in Grand Forks. I also mention artist Shepard Fairey’s guilty plea and possible jail time.
Enjoy!

Things are really heating up over at Reaching for Lucidity. The new Manga style Ebooks are coming along. All titles will also be available in print. This is an exciting new direction.
One thing that is out at RfL is the Steampunk look for Eban and SJ. It has been pointed out to me that the movement has been corrupted. T-pain has stolen Abney Park frontman Captain Robert’s look. Justin Beiber has a steampunk themed video.
That of course means that the Steampunk aspect of Eban and SJ is out. That also means I have to retool things a bit.
That is all cool. It will still be epic.
Here is a test page from the book. No story here, just a formatting test.
That is where things are at RfL right now. I am excited to have RfL moving again. It has been pretty stagnant for too long.
Before I sign out, I figured I would share some cool things I found around the web. Adam Daniel Mezei has put out his list of stuff that he wants for 2012. It is a cool list. It makes me want to dig deep and come up with my own list for 2012. Keep your eyes here for that. What do you have on tap for 2012? What is your list?
Chad Howse is offering a free workout. It is his version of what he thinks Thor himself would do to keep in shape. Get the free .pdf right now.
And over at Reaching for Lucidity, I have a list of the software and cloudware I use to create my media. Check it out if you would like to see what I use.
Cheers!
