Cate's Schedule: Updated for the Summer Fall Spring Unanticipated changes
My schedule is complicated, so I'll post an outline here where people can look it up as needed. There's some variation, but in general ( Read more... ) -
When can I go home?
Oh god, so bored. I haven't even been able to read effectively for the last week. I can listen or watch fiction, but can't concentrate on print. I can't write either, although there are a few things I'd like to be working on. Running my game held my attention as long as that lasted, but now that it's over, I'm just done. Can I just sleep ( Read more... ) -
I hate uninformative declarative statements because they steal our jobs and raise our taxes.

And if that was all I said, how would you learn anything? For example, today I went to learn a little more about Question 3 on the Massachusetts ballot. I read the two "argument" pieces to be found on boston.com and learned nothing, here are some ( Read more... ) -
"Professional" Libraians
I've talked before about what I think of the MLS credential and it's relation to librarianship (if not here than in person) but to summarize: you don't really need 2 years and a Master's degree to do the things a profession Librarian (with a capitol L) does. I don't just mean fixing the printer and shelving, I mean the real work of being a ( Read more... ) -

GenCon 2010: Summary
On the whole good. I wish I'd had more time to browse the exhibit hall and played more board games, but I got the minimum done I think. And I really stretched the limits of what I can schedule. I really felt like I could have used more time though.
Things we have learned:- the exhibit hall closes at 6 on Saturday, plan accordingly
- doing the TD ( Read more... )

GenCon Sunday
Got up early and traded in my remaining generic tickets for system credit. I basically didn't use any. I got 4 from trading with people and used only a few more of my own to get Dan O'H into 7th Sea and do the games library. They're nice to have, just in case, and more useful in board game-dominated year. Then I went to the exhibit hall to get ( Read more... ) -
GenCon Saturday: the rest
After leaving Dresden early, I went to grab food (I was starving) and then the exhibit hall...only to discover that it was about to close. So double-fail on that one. Not only had I just spent several hours not having fun in a game, but I'd missed the exhibit hall almost entirely ( Read more... ) -

GenCon Games: Friday part 2
After TD, which was awesome, there was the 7th Sea LARP. I've been in this game a few times before and generally find it wonderful. It's run by a group called Plaid Chameleon. The beauty of this game is that game wrap doesn't take forever, you aren't left with dozens of plot threads or burning questions hanging, and not only can you play if you ( Read more... )
