Dragon*Con is fast approaching. Our first out of town guests arrive one week from today and we’ll have a full house the day after that, preparing everyone in a zen-like-fashion for the trials of the 4 day weekend. The pocket program has been released, so it’s full steam ahead! (There’s also a google docs spreadsheet …

Dragon*Con 2008!
Dragon*Con is a little over a month away and I’m starting to get excited! Adam Baldwin, Anne McCaffrey, Harry Turtledove, Phil Plait, Brandon Sanderson, George Takei are all people I’m looking forward to seeing. Hayden Panettiere (Claire from Heroes) will also be there, yuck. Of course, there’s plenty of people on the guest list whom …
Cruxshadows
The Crüxshadows have a new single coming out! What, you’ve never heard of The Crüxshadows? Well, you must not be listening to Darkwave music. I confess that I, myself, do not listen to Darkwave music, with the exception of The Crüxshadows. However, they produce some excellent tunes which I’m more than happy to slap my …
The Magic of Flickr
In case anyone cares, all of my Dragon*Con images are posted to flickr now. There are two sets, one containing all of the images I felt worthy of upload, and one containing my “favorites”. I quotate “favorites” because there wasn’t much selection going on. I’ll probably make a third set during the next several weeks …
Dragon*Con 2007
We just got home from Dragon*Con. It was, as always, a total blast. This is our third annual, and I’ve already made my hotel reservations for next year. There will be lots of posts coming, but here’s a taste of the fun. Crowdsurfing Stormtrooper!

The Parade down Peachtree is at 10:00 …

Dragon*Con Review: Podcasting
Part IV in an n part series. See here, here, and here for others. One of the session tracks at Dragon*Con concerned Podcasting in its various forms. I did not attend any sessions except one, which was hosted by, among others, Phil Plait a.k.a. The Bad Astronomer, who was the only reason I attended. My …
Dragon*Con Review: Jim Butcher
I felt that having a humongous post about everything that went on at Dragon*Con would be a bit absurd. Here is installment III of the post. Jim Butcher is the author of the Dresden Files. He attended Dragon*Con this year and was seen by me in the Gothic Shadows programming track. He was on a …
Dragon*Con Review: Blowing Shit UP!
I felt that having a humongous post about everything that went on at Dragon*Con would be a bit absurd. Here is installment II of the series. Gaming has been a part of my hobby set since I was 10 or so (Jenn’s been playing since age 4!). I still remember the worried look on my …
