Preheating the CakeOrPie oven, once more

OK, I'm back to thinking about this blog. Well, not this blog, actually. A different one. The idea was actually a book idea I had -- one of the few projects I've ever pitched to my wife that she liked right off the bat. (She's got good instincts. Demoralizing instincts, when you're on the receiving end of one of her head shakings, but good, never the less.) Then, realizing that the book's format would lend itself quite well to blogging (and micro-blogging via Twitter), I started to think about it as a blog which would lead to a book.

Now I have to read up on how to protect the idea of something like a book while letting it out in dribs and drabs. I know there are tons of examples out there -- I just have to find them and read them all.
