Old Sun rising on a new year

Okay, let’s try this again. It’s been way too easy to just share cool stuff on the obvious platforms. This year I resolve not to allow them to seduce me into neglecting my own platform, such as it is. So anyway. Today there’s a way cool video of a sun halo in Sweden from the […]

Reporting from the useless fiddling department

I just changed this blog’ s theme. You may see the layout shuffle around a little, but I think I like it. What do you think?

Close inspection may reveal some irregularities

It’s a bad sign for this blog that I’m starting to skip days without feeling much of an urge to apologize. To both of you. Needless to say this blog is not exactly my highest priority. Nor will I bore you with the matters that, despite their importance, I don’t care to share. Still, I […]

Going to Blues N Brews

I’ll be at Blues N Brews all day tomorrow. It’s the tenth one, an outdoor beer festival with live blues bands all day. I’ve steadily gotten more involved with it in the last few years, helping make sure there’s some cask ale in the mix. This year, I’ve also been Twittering as @BluesNBrews, and their […]

Spring on the way to Boskone

On the way out to the door to Boskone I spotted these in the newly uncovered earth: snowdrops! In flower even. So it’s just a cellphone pic, but a pic nonetheless. And Boskone? The usual. Went to a couple panels. Hung out with friends. It’s still not Readercon.

NERAX is hastening near

Instead of going to Boskone tonight, I’ve got my webmaster hat on. I’ve been wearing it all week, working on updating the NERAX website nerax.org. It’s now running on Joomla, and it’s like having a new toy to play with. The festival itself is coming up at the end of March, and we’re just hitting […]

Irregular blog is irregular

I see it didn’t take very long for me to miss a day. The best part about forgetting to post is that I get to talk about it the next day, so it’s actually a twofer. Then I predict that I will continue to forget occasionally. Now we’re up to a three-bagger. Best of all, […]

Reading list updates

Now that my Hugo reading is long past done and over, it’s time to admit that I have quite a list on request at the library. So this is what the Current Books section of my To Be Read stack looks like:

Too bad my time-machine is on back order

D’oh! I’ve had plenty of D’oh! moments when I thought I had a post scheduled the night before, and today’s another one. Anyway, you haven’t missed much. I really like the current short story entry, so I’m having trouble writing about it. And I guess my backbrain decided that a filler post last night just […]

Bookreading Bookkeeping

Well, I’ve read (all but one of) the books on my reading lists, but they were so interesting, it’s going to take me a while to sort out my notes. So that’s enough non-fiction for a while. It’s time to read more fictionlike, say, maybe the Hugo nominees. Which means my 2009 list just got […]
