Saturday, June 30th, 2007The other day I perused an entry over on the Books @ the Hathor Legacy blog, which has proved to be some pretty good reading. Revena has been posting notes from her experiences at WisCon 31 (which is on my list of cons to get to, along with ReaderCon). The most recent post she made [...]
Playing With Embeds
Friday, June 29th, 2007Why? Because I like Bruce Campbell and this commercial cracks me up.
Fictional Terrorism In Two Parts, Pt. 2
Thursday, June 28th, 2007So, yesterday I talked about Clancy and Patriot Games, his first of many novel-length considerations of terrorism and its effects. The Sum of All Fears, which featured a successful nuclear attack on the Superbowl Generic National Football Championship, Executive Orders, which had one of the most pointless, directionless subplots of Clancy’s entire oeuvre, Rainbow Six, [...]
Fictional Terrorism In Two Parts, Pt. 1
Wednesday, June 27th, 2007I read two books, two novels recently, that spoke to the current American angst over terrorism and all the political infighting and posturing on best methods, as well as the personal impact of it. And, of course, it got me thinking. Today, I’ll talk about the first, and older book and tomorrow about the newer [...]
Zombie Post-Mortem
Tuesday, June 26th, 2007As promised. Last things first: My good buddy Matt joined in on the Blog Like It’s The End Of The World thingy a little late, posting a couple entries about the defense of his own small town down in Indiana. He said the fun part was incorporating some of things that did actually happen, and [...]
I Hate It When…
Monday, June 25th, 2007… I just sort of flake out and stop posting anything, anywhere for a while. I thought about writing something up the day after the Blog Like It’s The End Of The World gig, since there were some interesting feelings and thoughts that rose out of it. I was going to (and probably still will) [...]
Warblogging The Zombie Apocalypse
Wednesday, June 13th, 2007So, I guess Nick Mamatas is having a similar experience to mine, though I haven’t seen any flattened by buses yet. We did have a good time taunting some zombies, though, while we were working on the perimeter. But me and Jaime, a former Army Ranger, picked them off from about a hundred yards. Stupid [...]
Weak, As They Say, Sauce
Wednesday, June 13th, 2007Man I wish we had Dr. McNinja around here. Armored spacesuits would rock. So, I tried to drive down to Jackson today to deliver some PCs, but I got exactly as far as White Creek Road, just before the freeway, when I got stopped by a roadblock. I had figured the Zombie stuff from earlier [...]
Lolzombies?
Wednesday, June 13th, 2007Did somebody say zombies? (Background)
The End Of A Long Week
Friday, June 8th, 2007Freelance work snafus. Dayjob headaches. Life with an almost-two-year-old. Not getting a damn thing done creatively. Another long rejection that made me hope, for a minute. All I want to know is, how long do people give the “Ahm in ur…” pseudo-cats-writing-poorly uber-meme before it runs out of steam? Personally, I’m on the hairy edge [...]
