I did a guest blog over at MadUtopia about what’s going to be going on here on GT over the next few weeks. Let us just say it involves #FridayFlash and a challenge. Check it out here.

While that is going on, another challenge of sorts went on over the weekend between Amazon and Macmillan. Check this stuff out. Thank goodness I was not in the middle of THIS storm!

All the Many Ways Amazon So Very Failed the Weekend by John Scalzi

Amazon.com Mysteriously Removes Macmillan Book Titles by Paul Boutin

Amazon Pulls Macmillan Books Over E-Book Price Disagreement by Brad Stone NYT

Zinc Blinked by Scott Westerfeld

And if you need more on this, I am sure it can be dug up with very little effort. Feel free to discuss here or at any of these sites (I think my personal favorites are John Scalzi and Scott Westerfeld). I have several more posts on the topic on my twitter feed if you really need more, as I was RTing the heck out of these links. Enjoy, and come back with encouragement for the #FridayFlash February Challenge!
