October Coffee Cup

A bit late as usual but here’s the October coffee cup. This month I chose a sunflower cup. Somehow, even though I found this cup on sale around June or July, it just seems to shout FALL to me. The leaves around here are starting to turn (well some of them are). The temps are […]

Back at last…Finally, the September Coffee Cup.

Okay, finally the new external disk drive arrived.  Thankfully, it got here before everything blew up.  When it arrived I had only 1 GB of space left — everything was sooooo slow I was growing moss on my mouse.  But, once I got it plugged in and moved all the photos and electronic books to […]

Just a place holder….

Not much to say.  The zines went live yesterday.  So if you go to SFRevu or Gumshoe Review, you’ll find the new September issues are now up and live.  This month SFRevu has an interview with Joe Abercrombie, the author of The Last Argument of Kings. In Gumshoe, we’ve got an interview with Sheila Lowe, […]

I love living in the woods….

Busy as bees all weekend.  There’s the zines to get out and Ern (the senior partner in the zines) had his birthday party at our house.  So, with 16 people coming for a BBQ dinner, Hyperion and I really had to clean the house and the yard.  Ern came out a couple of times to […]

Work, Work, Work, and play….

It’s been a busy month and we’re quickly approaching the end; and that means getting the publications up and ready to go live on September 1st. “What publications,” you ask?  Why SFRevu and Gumshoe Review. Time usually seems to compress near the end of the month, but it seems like I had even less time […]

The last week has been a bit of a strain.  Not that anything really awful has happened.  There’s been the usual stress of gearing up for the publication of all the zines on September 1st.  Just the usual stuff of pinging all the reviewers and seeing where we stand.  Not to bad except I realized […]

Where do I get that day expander?

The problem with going to a convention or taking a vacation is that life just keeps on going while you’re gone. So, when you get back you don’t start fresh, you start about one thousand feet back from the starting line. When we got back from Denver, we returned the car and picked up our […]

On the road again

It’s time for a report from the cat.  It’s been a long day, and it’s not quite over yet.  This post is being written on the road … literally, we’re doing about 65 miles per hour, and we’re passing though eastern Pittsburgh.  We’re such geeks!  Anyway, we got up this morning, did bills, laundry, errands, […]
