Interview with Jim Butcher
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 [...]

San Diego 2011: Wednesday
Okay. ComicCon was cool this year, and people have been asking for details.
So here they are.
* * *
As I mentioned earlier, my trip to comic-con had a pretty rocky start.
This seems to be a theme of ComicCon for me. My first trip to ComicCon was fraught with peril, as mentioned in this comic by Greg [...]

Friendly Reminder: Voting on the Hugos.
Last night I was up late reading (I'll talk about that in a minute) so today I woke up at the crack of noon.
Blearily, I washed my face and trudged upstairs to check my e-mail. Because I was really behind on my e-mail and the weekend is a good chance for me to catch up.
When [...]

Sharing some awesome….
Okay. I'm back from ComicCon, and I have stories to tell.
Unfortunately, I also have a backlog of about 800 e-mails to slog through. Many of them involving serious business-type things that I should really attend to sooner rather than later.
Rest assured that I'll be sharing some of the stories here on the blog. Probably tomorrow.
But [...]

A hurried update
So all the powers of creation have conspired to keep me from attending ComicCon. Last night I got an automated call from Delta telling me, "Hello, your flight is canceled. Yeah. Would you like a later flight? Oh, and by the way would you like a Skymiles Credit Card?"
Then a storm hit Stevens Point like the wrath of an [...]

A little family update
My thanks to everyone who sent well-wishes and good thoughts my way on Friday. It was a stressful day. We had to take little Oot in for surgery.
I don't care to talk about the details, but it wasn't anything life-threatening. It was just one of those things that we needed to do if we were [...]

Another list of books.
So when I was at NADWcon last weekend, I was on a panel titled: "What To Read When You're Not Reading Pratchett."
My co-panelists were Marian Crane and Kristine Smith. And we spent a pleasant hour discussing books we loved with the audience.
Rather than slow the panel down to a crawl by spelling out all the [...]

Meeting Terry Pratchett
So as I mentioned yesterday, while I was at NADWcon this weekend, I got the chance to get a book signed by Terry Pratchett.
The thought of getting a book signed is an odd one to me. In these last several months, it's possible that I've signed thousands of books. Many thousands. I've signed [...]

My First Discworld Convention
So this weekend I went to NADWcon: The North American Discworld convention.
I know what you're thinking. Technically there shouldn't be a "W" in that acronym. But without it, they'd have to call the convention NADcon, and that would attract the entirely wrong sort of attendee.
Truth is, the last thing I needed in my schedule right [...]

Vision and Revision: Geek Redux.
So yesterday I read Just a Geek.
I found the book strangely moving, so when I finished writing it, I hopped online to write a review on Goodreads. When I enjoy a book, I like to spread the word about it.
I started to write the review, but it kept getting longer and longer. So I figured [...]
