Hi there.

It's been a while since I sent one of these emails, so hopefully some the addresses on this list still work, and you remember having singed up at some point. I announced on Murketing.com the other day that the 2009 edition of Where Were You? is now available. There was a delay in sending this email because of a problem with my mailing list service that has now (obviously) been fixed.

Details on Where Were You? 2009 below. Feel free to forward this email, post/tweet this link, encourage others to sign up for this list, etc. Or not. Questions/comments: murketing@robwalker.net.


 
FEATURING: Life, Death, More of the Same.

As you know, Where Were You? is a side project of mine that dates back many years: I note "where I was" when I learned of various notable deaths, and record any related thoughts. For the last few years, I have collected these entries into annual zines. For 2009, instead of printing and mailing physical zines, I'm making a year of entries available as a sort of e-zine. Also, instead of charging a buck or two, I'm making it available for free.

I have had great help and encouragement on this enterprise from Mr. Harold Check. In fact, I can safely say that without his efforts, technical and otherwise, there is no way I would have collected this year's entries in any public form.

We've used two fine ebook services to present WWY2009. The Scribd version includes some illustrations. The Feedbooks  version does not.

You don't have to have a special e-reader device to make use of these services and get to this material -- in fact, it's easy to print it out if you like -- but it is compatible with new and/or popular devices.

Here is how to get Where Were You? 2009 -- whether you use an ebook reader or not:

1. If you use a Kindle or an iPad (or probably any ebook reader, so far as I know): Download from Feedbooks, or Scribd.

2. If you use a reader app on your iPhone (such as the Kindle app or Stanza, a good free reader app that you can obtain here): Download from Feedbooks or Scribd. I assume most readers on most smartphones work easily with Feedbooks or Scribd documents, but let me know if you have trouble.

3. If (like me!) you don't use any of that stuff, and you are happy to read it in the form of a PDF on your computer, or as a regular printout, Scribd is probably for you. Check out the "full-screen" book view for the complete retro zine experience. (And if you download it as a PDF, it seems this site will reorder the pages for booklet printing, should you wish to go that way: http://bookletcreator.com/.)

Also of course if you have questions or comments or run into problems with the above, your feedback is more than welcome. murketing@robwalker.net

I hope you'll check out the 2009 edition — and help spread the word. Thanks.
