An Invitation to BritCrime

Can I stay awake that long?

Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere when he stumbled across news from an online crime writing author's festival. Today is the first day of the online festival BritCrime. It will run July 15 - 17. There will be interviews with writers, discussions about techniques and a contest. You will need to sign up (at the festival) for Blab for the live broadcasts; but, if you don't have it (or don't want it), you can read the interviews, watch some short videos, and some replays.

Panzer says, "No Blab for this kitty's Mom's Twitter account. "

Note: This will be a long three day event. Bring three thermoses of tea, two dozen muffins, a dozen cupcakes, your sleeping bag, and a pillow for the online festival.

Authors: Have You Blabbed or Scoped yet? - The Book Designer

Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere when he saw some strange images flickering around outside the Panzermobile. Our big brave kitty pilot followed the ghostly sights to The Book Designer site.

According to a post there by Frances Caballo, those images Panzer was seeing in the Catosphere came from the apps Periscope and Blab. Turns out these two are new broadcast apps. You can live-stream videos of yourself and others. Periscope works on the iPhone or Android and Blab works with Chrome or the iPhone. Caballo included instructions for downloading and using the apps.

Thinking about it makes me tired.

Panzer says, "My time in between naps is already full. There's no time left to learn anything new."

Note: This is an extremely l-o-n-g post. You'll need a thermos of tea and a half-dozen muffins.
