New idea for a book: an almanac, published yearly, that details the panels and workshops that went on at all the major nerdystyle conventions of that year, all the tech and anime and comic conventions, from GenCon to DEFCON to BronyCon and everything in between (BronyCon is major, isn't it?) Maybe this idea could also work as a website, or even a magazine, but I'm trying to get away from newsletters here. I just like the idea of these big thick almanacs, just actual books you can hold in your hands that have heft to them, giving the publishing industry some cred back. There's something satisfying about actual physical almanacs.
So, the Con Digest. It's all (or some) of the goodness of attending an actual convention without the embarrassment of showing your geek face in public. If you really did get to attend the con, then it allows you to go over the panels you missed. And if you didn't, same deal. I mean, sure, this information probably is available elsewhere, but in one centralized location? I think not.
Or maybe this is already a real thing. Please tell me it's already a real thing. Probably just as a website. If you are a real website, expand your business into making almanacs. Please and thank you.
