Teaser quotes:
"Katie and the Computer, my advance was $300. And I had to split it with my illustrator."
"You know Nolan Bushnell, right? ... He'd put his arm around me and say, 'Fred, How's it goin' in the world of the ankle biters and the little people?'"
"You could hear a pin drop after my speech. There was just this embarrassed silence, like
'Who the freaking heck is this joker they hired to speak at our convention?'"
