Pope and New Media

I find news like this very encouraging. If the Pope, or more likely his counsel can take time to look at new media as a way of communicating, and then turn around and use that as a way to communicating the message of the Church, this is an amazing thing.

If you have the time go out a read this article and see what they have in mind.

Great Hites Prompt # 45

Download

This weeks prompt comes from my companies quarterly update meeting, and is:

"We are now in the Magic Quadrant."

If you were following me on twitter you got this one a bit early, since when I heard it I could not resist.


All Stories for this prompt are due by Midnight Tuesday March 17 th. Email the text of the story and a recording if you would like me to include it in the podcast to jeffrey dot hite at gmail dot com.

good luck. And don't forget to come out to the site and vote for your Favorite stories this week.

Don't forget to go out to iTunes or podcast pickle or both and leave a review. It is a great way to let people know about great hites and what you think of it.

Just a quick review of the rules:



1. All stories submitted must be based on the weekly topic and in before Tuesday at midnight. (your local midnight is fine)
E-mail of the text of the story (pasted into the e-mail) to me at jeffrey dot hite at gmail dot com along with a recording if you want it added to the podcast.

2. Stories must have a maximum rating of PG. If you want examples of my strongest violence or most suggestive language read or listen toRun For your Life, Adam And Eve. or Going Down with the Ship And yes, I get the final say. Hey it's my site I make the rules.

3. Stories submitted should be between 100 to 3000 words, any shorter will get lost in the fray, any longer and it will drown out the other works, and as I said in rule number 2: Hey it's my site I make the rules.

4. Protecting your hard work. I know some sites don't do this, but I will do my best to protect your work. My entire site is protected by creative commons, I think it is worth your time to license your work, head out to the creative commons site get a license and paste the html code at the end of your story in the e-mail and when it gets posted I will include that. This is the one rule that is not hard and fast I think if you have worked hard on something you should protect it, but it is your call.

Great Hites Delay

Alright Folks, Last ween was one of my worst weeks as far as work goes in a very long time. I worked late every day, and I had a major exam over the weekend, plus I had a to work over the weekend. All this means that I didn't get The podcast out. I am very bummed because I have not missed a week in a long time.

This week is looking better. So that is a good thing.

Here is what I am going to do for last week. I am going to put all the stories for this week and last week in one Podcast this week. It will be a longer one, but I think that is the best way to get back on track.

So If you wrote a story for the fall of the wall, or if you are writing a story for the belly button lint they will be up probably on Wednesday night or Thursday morning of this week. I will do my best to keep this from happening again.

Thanks for sticking with me folks.
