Well, that’s just about it for 2006. It was a good year – a long year, a crazy year, in which I visited both China and Japan, presented at SIGGRAPH in Boston, published my first white paper, saw the Democrats retake the House and the Senate, welcomed Laura back to the U.S., and did a […]

Here’s a little present for me this morning: when checking out my Technorati stats, I found that Sean-Michael Dore over at Imaginarywar used the Mayan Shaman I created for Goldworld to illustrate a post on the Mayan Apocalypse. Very cool.

Dear Santa, What I really, really, really want for Christmas is to be able to write faster and better. I am currently topping out at about 2500 words a day before my eyes begin to cross and I collapse into an exhausted pile of worthlessness – and often a great amount of those words are […]

Newsarama has an excellent interview with the super-prolific Brian Michael Bendis, who is responsible for everything from Powers to Jinx to Ultimate Spider-Man to the most recent animated Spider-Man series. My favorite bit is the following exchange: DF: You’ve anticipated a question of mine. You’re clearly not a guy who’s using comics as a stepping […]

It’s the end of the semester and my brain is going haywire. I have at least two major papers to write, each one in the 15-20 page range; I need to finish my Christmas shopping; I have some client-type projects that have to be polished off… Arg! I find tackling a day of such magnitude […]
Soon I’ll be 30, I don’t want to be 30… – Moxy Fruvous Today, alas, I kissed 28 goodbye and 29 hello. The 365-day countdown to 30 has begun. Fark. That said, I had a more-than-fairly decent birthday. The first part of it blew a little (had a bit of a tiff with my research […]
Great trees are envied by the wind. – Japanese proverb My old motto used to be, “If it works.” I’m thinking about adopting this as a new motto, until I can find something story-related to take its place. Courtesy of one of my favorite novelists, Jonathan Carroll.

This weekend Laura and I purchased and put up the Christmas tree, strung pine garland and lights on the banister, and put up a shelf and a wreath over the TV. Just like that, wham! the apartment began to feel much more homelike, not to mention a whale of a lot more festive. The tree […]

Just some little bits and pieces from across the web this weekend…. Art & Design I love their mission, but the art dork in me loves the hand-drawn telescope logo for 826 Seattle even more. I want a t-shirt with the logo for BEASTS! splashed across the front. That thing’s just bad-ass. More information on […]
