Howdy, faithful Beta Clones! Sorry for the delay in posting new OBSIDIAN content, but as many of you know, I spent the past weekend at Dragon*Con … and as you’ll soon see, I obviously needed a few days to recover from the sleep deprivation.

Words cannot describe how awesome 7th Son listener Helljack is. From a recent blog post: “I’ve mentioned J.C. Hutchins a couple of times in the past. His three-fucking-book atomic bomb of a tale 7th Son is something that vaults the line well past genius. If you have never tuned into single retinal-dilating, heart-stammering, brain-crushing chapter…then you, [...] - THE 3RD WAVE GIVEAWAY!

My apologies to you amazing Beta Clones for not delivering a 7th Son: OBSIDIAN episode in nearly two weeks. Things have been ultra-hectic in these parts. What have I been up to?

Proof that I’m not the only one fretting about Twitter. But with friends like these…. (For the record: I hate Nazis. In my home, I call them “Nazi fuckheads.” It’s true.

Sun, 03 Aug 2008 06:22:59 +0000
So there’s this fascinating service called Twitter. I won’t waste time trying to describe it, except to liken it to the world’s largest cocktail party. You — and the Twitter users who “follow” you, and the people whom you “follow” — are all assembled in one cavernous virtual ballroom, all with bullhorns, gabbing away. And [...] - Help spread the MINE meme! (0mb)

I recently created some Web banners to support my friends Tee Morris and Pip Ballantine (for their imminent “Double Trouble” print novel promotion) and Mur Lafferty (to amp up folks for the print release of Playing for Keeps in late August).

If Spielberg joins the party, it’s all over but the shoutin’. This is an ultra-oversimplification of matters — matters of which I’ll explain in a moment — but I honesty believe that if my personal trifecta of the most-brilliant storytellers of the past 30 years can all hop aboard and support this “new media” thing, it’ll [...] - BONUS: ?Dear Mr. Donner?

I loved Snow Crash, couldn’t make it through The Diamond Age, and haven’t yet grown the balls to take on Cryptonomicon … but I know an undeniably brilliant writer when I read him, and Neal Stephenson is just that.

Hey (cough) everybody! J.C. (wheeze) Hutchins (sneeze) here. Guess what? I’m sick. The terrible “Hutchins Head Cold” — an unspeakable beast that rises and assaults me once every two years or so — struck last Friday, and I’ve been utterly worthless (and borderline voiceless) throughout the weekend. Since I didn’t have the pipes to deliver “talky [...] - OBSIDIAN Episode 14 (52mb)

In my grand vision of the Internet and how I interact with folks in the online space, I see this website, JCHutchins.net, as my “fort” — a base of operations from where most of my content hails, and where I want most folks engaging with me and my art. However, I perceive social media networks [...]
