Lets just say that my response to this was gleeful and not entirely dignified….
I’ll get today’s Angriest Rice Cooker Director’s Cut up later today, but I just had to share this right now. Myself and my lovely girlfriend just got back (way too late) last night from an excursion to Montana. The trip was awesome and maybe I’ll talk about some of it later. Right before we started our drive over last Thursday afternoon, I was burning CDs of stuff to listen to on the drive. Like it often does, this included the podcasts I needed to catch up on, including Escape Pod, the SF podcast I’ve mentioned here twice before. Since I did a big road trip the weekend before, I had gone through most of the recent episodes, so I really wanted the one that was going to come out that Thursday. Usually they’re up by about the time we were scheduled to leave, so I spent the last few minutes before driving off in a frenzy of refreshing on iTunes only to be disappointed. So that’s the story of why it was four days before I learned that something really awesome happened to me.
You see, a couple of weeks ago Escape Pod started doing a “blog of the week,” giving away a mention and a book to one blog picked randomly from their Technorati referrers. But this week, in the podcast I tried and failed to download before leaving last Thursday, Steve Eley stretched his own rules and picked a blog non-randomly because it was “too cool not to mention.” That blog is the one you’re reading right now. This was based on my post about the story Conversations With and About My Electric Toothbrush. He described the Angriest Rice Cooker as a comic on his regular reading list. He said that the Angriest Rice Cooker would give the book in question three stars.
Having comics I wrote referenced obliquely in a piece of media I listen to anyway? Awesome.
