Eric Luper's Random Musings

I fear the current undisputed record of 3 hours 5 minutes (held by both Lisa Yee and Brent Hartinger) will not only be crushed today, but will be pulverized into tiny tiny fragments that no longer resembles a record as much as it resembles talcum powder. Did that sentence make any sense? No matter, because it's time for our next round of Google Ping. And I have a feeling that our author today is one who Googles himself rather frequently.

Our pinged author of the day is Mr. David Lubar. David Lubar is the author of many good books, his most-recent being True Talents.



For those of you new to Google Ping, it is a game I invented where I type a children's author's name over and over on my blog to see how long it takes him or her to find me by either Googling their name or hearing through the grapevine that they have been pinged. The fastest children's author to comment on my blog and prove they are who they say they are (and not some crazed children's author impersonator) is crowned the current champion of Google Ping.

For those of you keeping track of the game, Ms. Laurie Halse Anderson answered the ping in 20 hours 16 minutes.

So here we go:
