So… I see we can expect Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes in a couple of years. With corporate product placements becoming quite the all-pervasive force, I wonder if there’ll be a change of title by the time the movie is released? … Read more
Okay. Small rant here in the run-up to OVGE and the “live” debut of VWORP!1. It’s taken me long enough to get this book out the door that I’ve watched my good friend Rob O’Hara get two books out the door, and I’ve had time to take in how he’s handled presentation and marketing a bit (not to mention that he provides that advice freely from the get-go). Accordingly, I spent a little bit of money – not a whole lot, but more than I usually do – on signage and presentation for OVGE this year.

He’ll be helping me hand out books at OVGE, but you’ve gotta be careful with him… … Read more

Anyway, I would love to tell you that I voted with my head, my heart and my conscience, but I have to come clean on this… … Read more
One of Little E’s chores that he can earn money for around the house is feeding kitties and doggies. Cat feeding is normally a bit chaotic – you don’t have to feed again for two days because he usually spills as much in the floor as he gets in the bowls. But tonight? Spotless. I was shocked. The following conversation took place:
