My head cold is just as bad now as it was when I arrived at Dreamation, but I feel a whole lot better. After one of the most trying months of my life, we managed to make it through the wilds of New Jersey on Friday night, with barely an hour to spare. I ran [...]

Origins 2010 – Chaos Incarnate!
Maybe so many years of really, really great years at Origins set the bar too high. Maybe the staff and software changes at GAMA came too late to be truly integrated into convention management. Maybe the stars were just wrong. Whatever the reason, Origins 2010 was plagued with numerous drawbacks and pitfalls. On the whole, the people made for a positive experience, but I was left wondering if we’ll return next year.

Chattin’ with Clyde
Last night, I spoke with Clyde on his cool podcast, Theory from the Closet. He let me ramble on for the better part an hour about Serial Homicide Unit, Discernment, and related topics. Give it a listen and let me know what you think!

One bright spot of interaction

I’m a moderate at heart. I’m not in-your-face. I’m not offensive. [...]

DEXCON 12 was only half a con for me, due to my inability to get any time off from work. It was a good time, but I couldn’t seem to get up a head of steam that would have made it a great time.

It’s about an hour and half since we arrived home from Origins 2009. I sit here with more caffiene than blood in my veins and try to unwind enough to go to bed. It was a great con. Attendance looked light, but the folks that were there had a good time. Here’s my high points [...]

Per Fischer, Jason Dockins, and Ludanto have started a play-by-post game of Serial Homicide Unit. It kicks off in this thread. They’ve nearly finished their first round of civilian scenes, and the game is quite interesting. The profile they’ve chosen is “grade school teachers” and I’m anxious to see what they come up with.
