Holy Freakin’ COW. All I gotta say is, count me in line to buy this when it comes out in February some month next year: More about “War Of The Worlds : Goliath” here. Watch the trailer. It’s stunning.

Why I Missed GenCon 2009…

Why I Missed GenCon 2009…

Ok, so in this case the title doesn’t say it all. Actually, it’s just a lead-in to my thoughts that I’ve been gathering over the weekend. I did miss GenCon 2009 this year. First convention in about 10 years I missed and man, it was tough. As the weekend went on (and I watched the …

Update Randomness, Part Whatever

I’ve got a few minutes, so here’s some random rundowns: 1.) Still jobless. It’s been a hard three months, with over 150 resumes and covers gone out and nary a word in return. I have had a couple of interviews, but nothing panned out so far. The biggest encouragement I suppose is that I’m only …
