[Conventions] Geekinomicon Pt. 2 – Human Interest Side
There is a part 2 to Geekinomicon. This is the more “human interest†side (aka the Greg Grunberg story) – and a few other celebrity mentions. There were a lot of fun/exciting things that happened in OKC – not the least of which falls under “exciting†= “interesting†(Chinese version) when we were ALL awakened […]
[Pen & Pencil Review] Scribal Workshop Inks and Crafts
It’s almost late, but I will get in a post today. This isn’t going to be a “traditional” review, more of a spotlight.

[Spotlight][Writing] ConDFW and Editing
Okay, so I totally forgot to do posts this week. It’s been a busy week getting back in gear after ConDFW – and I had both a Federal Holiday (which I actually had off) and my birthday which threw a modicum of chaos into my week. ConDFW went well. They’re in a new hotel which […]
