Just a Geek
I've owned this book for a long while, but it was just two days ago that I finally picked it up and started reading it. You know how it is. Life gets in the way, the book gets buried, you wonder where it is, you get distracted by whatever. Candy. Sex. Aperture science.

Photo Contest: Prelude
So for a while now, I've been sifting through all the photos that people submitted to the contest. More than a thousand photos in all.
Needless to say, it's been taking a lot longer than I expected.
It's not just that life seems determined to get in the way. Neither is it the fact that there are [...]

Wherein Pat Continues to Talk…
For those of you who aren't heartily sick of hearing me endlessly ramble about writing, here's a podcast I did a while back.
Linky Linky.

Fanmail Q&A: What's Stevens Point Like?
Hey, Pat, Not sure if this is the form I should use for this, but aside from writing you a "real world letter" in my appalling hand writing, it is the best I have got. Now, to preface this let me say that my wife and I are enormous fans. That being [...]

Fanmail FAQ: Looking for Good Books….
So in the last week I've had three e-mails along these lines:
Pat,
School is over for the semester, and I have a long, glorious summer stretching out in front of me. What's more, I've got a summer job that involves very little actual work. (I'm a late-night gas station attendant.)
This leaves me all the [...]

Father's Day
It was a good weekend. On Saturday Sarah, Oot, and I drove down to Madison to celebrate Father's Day. We hung out with my Dad, my aunt, my sister, and her boyfriend.
It may not seem like many people to you, but I don't have much family. For my side of the family, this is [...]

Miscellanea
It's not all Mountain Dew and aperture science over here these days, folks. There are some things keeping me busy.
Truth is, I have roughly 50 blogs I'd like to finish writing for y'all, not the least of which are the photo contest blogs, blogs telling some of the stories of what happened to me during [...]

Future Readings and Conventions Past….
So a long time ago, just a couple weeks after my first book came out, I received my first-ever professional convention invite. The convention was called Fantasy Matters, and it was there that I first met Neil Gaiman.
Fast forward to now, the same people that ran the Fantasy Matters convention just started up their own [...]

Science!
Is anyone else out there interesting in doing some science?
Specifically, I'm referring to aperture science.
I'm considering trying the co-op, and I could use a partner who isn't a complete asshat.
If anyone wants to friend up, leave your e-mail address in the comments below. (Though I would recommend somehow breaking up your full e-mail so the [...]

The Arrival
It's been a while since I recommended a book here on the blog.
So here we go.
Simply said: I don't think it would be possible for me to like this book any more than I do.
I read it last night, and today I ordered five more copies just to give away as gifts.
It's entirely pictures. No [...]
