Agent Palmer

I recently received a note saying that as editor of the written portion of the Chronicles Unwritten podcast, I, along with the writer/creator, Diamond Dave Maier, are inspiring Aiden (#lilman) from Full of Fibre podcast, to “keep trying and working at writing.”

To hear this was uplifting, as much as my coffee that morning. So to continue the thanks from my “Coffee’d Up” post, I’ve decided to write some advice for all writers, and specifically for Aiden, to aid in the process.

Agent’s receive packages all the time. Usually, in unmarked brown paper wrapping from all over the globe. And commonly with contents for their eyes only. But I have received a package of similar look that must be shared.

It was a small care package from Chad, Jen, and Aiden (#lilman) of the Full of Fibre Podcast. It contained some Monogram Coffee, the “Torea Village” blend, and some stickers and magnets, but most notably a card, which I will declassify shortly.

If you’re looking for the whole story of the personal computer or microcomputer industry, you have to read a few books. You owe it to yourself to at least cover the two diametrically opposed players in the game: Steve Jobs and Bill Gates.

I’ve read the Steve Jobs biography written by Walter Isaacson, so next up was a Bill Gates biography called Gates: How Microsoft’s Mogul Reinvented an Industry and Made Himself the Richest Man in America by Stephen Manes and Paul Andrews.

A Special Field Report from Agent Waves

I grew up in a family of geeks.

I spent my childhood fighting over who got to be Mario with my three brothers and spending every other Friday at the local comic shop catching up on my weekly’s. So naturally, I always loved every new Nintendo & Sega system put in front of me, and I was smitten with games like Shenmue and Luigi’s Mansion.
