The Pickle: A Conversation About Making Digital Books

8: Blarp

OmniBlarp never called! The algorithms must have revealed my inherent unprofitability. (Though I do love a free cafeteria…) Robin, what have you taken from those Blarpy experiences, both positive and negative? That’s easily as relevant as our hippie yammering.

Note to readers: This is (going to be) a long, loopy conversation. The Pickle Index is crisp and compact. Consider sampling its tangy delights.
