World Fantasy 2007- Nov 3rd (Saturday)

I’m beginning to think I just don’t get mornings. It was another late start — even later than yesterday. Anyway, we finally reached the convention center only to realize that I forgot my tags back at the hotel. It seems I took them off and put them in plain sight on the desk but in […]

World Fantasy 2007 – Nov. 2nd

We got a late start on the day, having forgotten to set the alarm and, what with running on so little sleep over the last few days — we slept in. Finally, we got ready to leave and met a nice woman in the hotel lobby who was trying to get a cab to the […]

World Fantasy 2007 – Nov. 1st

What a day! That deserves an exclamation point. After getting the zines on line last night we got about 4 hours sleep and it was up, shower, finish packing, pack the car, and off to Saratoga Springs — Saratoga is about 7 hours and 50 some odd minutes. And, that’s about what it took to […]

Northward Ho!

Is the Truth Out There?

As we approach Halloween, thoughts often turn to those things that go bump in the night. Well, maybe not you but I tend to think of such things and evidently so do many other people. Today there was an article in CIO online called Paranormal Investigations and Technology: Where Ghosts and Gadgets Meet. The reporter […]

String Theory in 2 minutes or Less…

Every now and then, in my daily search to avoid actual work, I come across something that I think is really and truly worthy of being spread far and wide. Today, I managed to bump into the results of a contest where people were asked to make a video explaining String Theory in two minutes […]

Rain at last….

It started raining last night — in fits and starts. All day today there’d be misty rain followed by overcast skies and then maybe more rain. Maryland was in a drought — 34 days without rain, with temperatures most days in the mid-70s to high 80s. I’m enjoying the sound and the smell of rain. […]
