Hi, Mastodon friends,

I've been busy. I decided to turn that long blog post into a free book.

Once I started working with it, I saw a million ways to improve it and make it more readable, so I think it's better.

I had it professionally proofread, copyedited, and fact checked. Any errors are mine because I had to transfer all the marks to the Indesign document.

Anyone wanna advance peek?

I don't know how to put a PDF here, so it's on the blog page:

Now I have to figure out how to turn it into an ebook (I'll need my technical support staff for that.)

The process was long. I started with a microphone and "talked" the blog post, as if once more talking to a room full of college students.

My technical support staff turned those into a YouTube thing. It helped me sort out the ideas and figure out a better way to present the material.

You know, keeping those college students paying attention isn't easy.

The epub electronic book format uses the same.
