[Pen/Pencil Review] Fisher Space Pen Space Shuttle Edition
Today’s pen is the is another Fisher Space Pen – this one I bought when we went to Houston and visited the Johnson Space Center (Yay! NASA!). It is chrome over brass with a gold space shuttle on it. Which made it a must have. This pen came with a PR4 Medium Point Black pressurized […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Houston Adventure
This won’t be a “for real” review – mostly because we’ve been traveling since Thursday. Houston was awesome. If I met you at Comicpalooza – thanks you for coming by the table or the panel! I appreciate the opportunity to meet so many people there, and to run into some familiar faces. Because we had […]
[Spotlight Post] Sending Names to Mars
Because I am a SF geek… Now, to send my name to PLUTO (it’s a PLANET darn it!)
[Writer Post][Spotlight Post] Hello, Pluto, You’re Looking Fine…
It’s Wednesday, and it’s a writer blog day, but I’m not really going to write about writing today.

[Spotlight Post] Humans in Space Youth Art Competition

[Spotlight Post] Geoffrey A Landis – Mars Crossing

I’m in the middle of this book, so it’s not a complete review… it’s more of a set of impressions. [asa]0812576489[/asa] Landis will be our Science GOH for FenCon X this October. I do attempt to […]
[Writer Post] ConDFW and Convention Brain
It’s Wednesday, which means Writer Blog Day – and I am still battling “convention brain”. “Convention Brain” is kind of like SQUIRREL! Brain, but not quite (Squirrel! Brain has more energy). That also means the convention was a rousing success. We “officially” launched Redheads in Love, the 3rd installment of The Four Redheads of the […]
[Conventions] ApolloCon 2011 Convention Report
ApolloCon happened this past weekend in Houston. I’ve participated in this convention almost since it’s inception in 2005 – I had a couple of “off” years due to money (lack of) and a wedding (it was the week before mine in 2007). I love this convention. I love the people who run this convention. I […]
