Some times I really believe there is a balance in life.Monday night’s RTM meeting was about as brutal as I expected. The coverage in the papers will show those who missed it what got covered but no doubt it’ll look even more contentious whenever the public access video is broadcast.I left the meeting feeling like […]
The world is a very complex place and as chaos theory suggests, a minor event in one part of the world can trigger a chain of events causing huge events in another part of the world. Still, I try and boil things down to simple a term, which usually causes trouble or at least gets […]
Lunacon kicked off last night and I will be there all day.Here are my panels:Saturday 11:00 – 12:00:00 PM Grand CenterDeep Space 9 Retrospective: The Thinking Person’s Star Trek SeriesFarthest from Roddenberry’s original vision, Deep Space 9 was relatively fixed in place and as much concerned with emotional, moral, and spiritual journeys as with adventure […]
I have not been a faithful correspondent because I’ve been devoting every waking hour; it feels, to two projects. As I mentioned recently, they arrived within 15 minutes of each other and they vie for my time and attention although clearly the short-term gig has to be getting the lion’s share of me for now.Since […]

I haven’t chatted about television in a while but trust me, we’re still watching an awful lot of it.We’ve seen the first two episodes of Dollhouse and I see it struggling to find its voice. Missing to date is the snappy Joss Whedon dialogue and memorable characters that populated his other productions. So far, the […]
Just a quick reminder to those in the vicinity that I will be giving a talk entitled A Picturesque History of the Graphic Novel at the Fairfield Public Library. There will be a PowerPoint presentation so it’ll be visually interesting and then hopefully the question and answer portion will be engaging.As of last week there […]

The first wave of six titles are featured on page 310 of the December Diamond Previews catalogue.I was also pleased to see that Diamond threw their spotlight on the books featuring Neil Gaiman and my […]
