My first day at WonderCon was a blast. Since things didn’t get rolling until after noon, I slept in a bit this morning and still arrived too early. It gave me a chance to really look closely at the panels and decide which ones I wanted to attend. Lotsa photos and details after the jump…

One of my guilty pleasure blogs is Shirtless Superheroes. Incredibly hunky guys who are also caring, good-intentioned and selfless are half the reason I read comic books. Plus, I’m convinced more than a few comic book artists know how to homoeroticize characters even when placing them in blatantly hetero situations. Case in point, Mike Choi’s [...]

Today was my annual review at work. I’m glad it’s over. Despite getting a lot of positive feedback and constructive advice, I was really beating myself up over personal and departmental goals that were not met in 2007. I knew I wasn’t going to meet some of those goals as early in the year as [...]

When you announce that it’s time to take the annual anonymous workplace climate survey and the general reaction is “What’s this? Why? Who’s going to see it? How can I be sure my views will actually be recorded? How will this be used?” – is the survey itself actually relevent anymore? I would think the [...]

My buddy Michael from QSaltLake sent me this. It sort of takes me back to the heydays of Cherry Poppins in Las Vegas. There was an awesome reveal in today’s chapter (5, I think) of X-Men: Messiah Complex. I’m really loving X:MC so far. Since the House of M reset, the X stories have been decent [...]

Halloween was… well, it was anti-climactic. I tried getting out of the house in the evening, but I couldn’t seem to reach any of my friends and I started feeling unwell, so I ended up re-alphabetizing my DVD collection and cleaning my room. I did wear my costume to the office, though, so it wasn’t [...]

So, just in the last few days, I’ve discussed my love of Mercedes Lackey and reviewed two books in a row featuring comic book superheroes in novel format. Which would explain why I’m uber-excited to have discovered: The Secret World Chronicle A weekly novel podcast written by Mercedes Lackey and Steve Libbey. One of my [...]

The design for the new Transbay terminal has been announced. Even though I’m sure zoning and bureaucracy and consultants will somehow spoil the perfect architectural dream, but it looks pretty awesome in concept stage. Supposedly, it’ll be the tallest building in the Western U.S. I’m a little bummed they didn’t go with this design (clicky [...]

OhMyGodBarackObamaILoveBuffy8.04SoMuchCanIHaveJossWhedonsBabies? I’ll watcher his butt, too. My grammar not so much. And the last two pages… the biggest, baddest big bad of them all!
