So that's a thing
My friend, my best friend, found out on Valentine's that her boyfriend of multiple years was cheating on her with a coworker. There were text messages, there were videos, there were GPS coordinates. You name it, she's found it because bf doesn't understand the first thing about basic cyber security. It's ugly. And she's trying, trying, trying ( Read more... ) -
Shameless Plug, Round 2
This one isn't for me. This one is for Ursula. If you haven't read Ursula Vernon's stuff, go now and do not come back until you've gotten through at least Jackalope Wives and Digger. Digger will take awhile. Plan on giving it some time. I can write you a note if you need one ( Read more... ) -
Shameless plug
Boskone is coming up here in a few weeks and you know what that means? Yes, Boston will get WHALLOPED by a blizzard. And my art will be down at the convention center. Go take a look at the latest and greatest ... I'll have a decent collection of originals & prints hung but if you want to see something in particular, let me know.

Setting Goals - The under achiever year

Update, in brief

First, IlluxCon.

As it was, as it will be
I've been avoiding writing here for a number of reasons. Lack of time, other mediums, those sort of reasons. The main one, though, is that I don't want to come back here in two years, five years, however many years from now and have to read about how my life was doing right now.
