Anime North 2010 recap
I was expecting AN to be kind of sad this year, what with Bill off on his honeymoon. And, I mean, it’s not like I actually watch anime much anymore.
But it was fun, for the most part. I got to see a few old friends I don’t get to see very often. I got to hang out with people I see quite a lot, but never tire of. And I got to buy an awesome set ( Read more... ) -

The Day the Internet Lies*
April Fools Day was maybe kind of fun for a while, but now it just bugs me.

So I’m out. Tomorrow ( Read more... ) -
Local Transportation Stuff and The 100
Hilary asked me to be on The 100 this week to talk about local transportation issues.
Which is awesome. But I can’t believe I forgot to mention TriTAG.
The 100 is a podcast about local culture, events and issues (roughly in that order), coming out of Ideas Transform. I know Bevan from Kwartzlab and I’d met the other hosts through CultureCamp ( ( Read more... ) -
Change of plans
Looks like no Con-G for me today, I'm afraid. Sorry if people were expecting me to be there. -
I don’t really like the Olympics
Well, at the very least, I’m indifferent towards the Olympics.
As far as I’m concerned, sports already gets a disproportionate amount of time and attention in our society. It’s not important and, frankly, it’s actually pretty silly, if you stop to think about it. Yet it gets about a third of the total news coverage time and takes up a good chunk ( Read more... )
