"We invented a new protocol and called it Kermit, after Kermit the Frog,
star of "The Muppet Show." [3]

[3] Why? Mostly because there was a Muppets calendar on the wall when we
were trying to think of a name, and Kermit is a pleasant, unassuming sort of
character. But since we weren't sure whether it was OK to name our protocol
after this popular television and movie star, we pretended that KERMIT was an
acronym; unfortunately, we could never find a good set of words to go with the
letters, as readers of some of our early source code can attest. Later, while
looking through a name book for his forthcoming baby, Bill Catchings noticed
that "Kermit" was a Celtic word for "free", which is what all Kermit programs
should be, and words to this effect replaced the strained acronyms in our
source code (Bill's baby turned out to be a girl, so he had to name her Becky
instead). When BYTE Magazine was preparing our 1984 Kermit article for
publication, they suggested we contact Henson Associates Inc. for permission
to say that we did indeed name the protocol after Kermit the Frog. Permission
was kindly granted, and now the real story can be told. I resisted the
temptation, however, to call the present work "Kermit the Book."

Who would you be if you could be anyone? go anywhere? do anything? Well, you can! Luke Soloman will show you how.

Luke is more than merely self-conscious. He is sui generis, literally believing himself into being. Beginner’s Luke is the first novel in a series of madcap adventures that, collectively, make up the imaginary life of this lovably irreverent modern-day Walter Mitty.

Want to read a sample chapter? Too bad. But you can receive the whole book FREE. See below.

A respected New York publisher, whose authors feature a National Book Award finalist in addition to dozens of prestigious award winners, offered the author a contract (subsequently declined) for the Beginner’s Luke Series, which made it out of a yearly “slush pile” of nearly 8,000 manuscripts.

While titillating in the rambunctious tradition of Henry Miller and Jack Kerouac, this extraordinary début destined to become a “cult classic” equally impresses as a work of literary art. Luke’s signature obsessions with self, sex, satire and slapdash highlight a serious point: consciousness creates. The point is there is a point to living in the imagination—for only through it can we reinvent ourselves and our world.

Starting this summer, the author is giving away the first 2012 electronic copies of Beginner’s Luke. By taking advantage of this special FREE offer, you agree to receive occasional publication updates by email from the author and/or his publicist unless you opt out. You must be at least 13 years old to participate.
