A few links….

I'm in a bit of a rush today, so today we're going to have miscellanea. A sort of link salad, if you will.
First off, I did a podcast with the folks over at Fictional Frontiers. I dimly remember using the word "buggery" somewhere in this interview, though I may be making that up….
Second off, over [...]

Season Five of the Guild

Generally speaking, I assume that if you're reading this blog, you're a geek of some degree or other.
And if you're a geek, I assume other things about you. I assume you've watched Star Trek. I assume you engage in some type of gaming, be it  computer, board, or role.

Name of the Wind Onesies

So about a year ago when we were voting on which t-shirt designs were going to get printed, I cast my vote just like everyone else.

Photo Contest – Prologue: A Sussian Sussurus

Okay. It's been a long time coming, but I'm finally ready to post up some of the pictures from the photo contest.

Upcoming Events in Reno and the UP

I hate posting updates while I'm away from my home computer.
I'm up in the north woods right now, a lovely place, isolated. Great for a little family vacation. It's the sort of place where you can only get cell phone reception if all the local bears are standing in the right places so the radio waves [...]

Interview with Jim Butcher and other book geekery.

Here's a few items of interest while I'm putting together the next ComicCon blog.
As I've mentioned on many occasions, I'm a big fan of Jim Butcher.
While out at ComicCon this year, I got a chance to interview him. It was a ton of fun, and I only geeked out a little bit about how good [...]
