Pics from last weekend’s Boston hike are up. I screwed up most of my right leg, but it was fun.
Year: 2001
Patrick
My brother Patrick just got engaged! Congratulations!
Cerebus
I just finished reading the most recent Cerebus story arc, Going Home. As usual, great storytelling, great backgrounds from Gerhard, and some great funny bits in the main story.
Some weird stuff in the back, though, including a way bizzare essay in the back of the last issue. You can read it here, on the Comics Journal’s page. I actually think Sim makes some good points, although he goes way too far with most of them. You can read more about his essay here. Have fun.
eBay
I’ve been posting some more stuff on eBay over the last couple of days. Check it out. (Hit the eBay link on the left.) I really need to clear up some space in my apartment!
San Diego
Some stuff to report from the con:
– Good presentation on the Lord of the Rings movie from the guys at TheOneRing.net.
– Interesting stuff on the next Star Wars movie from Steve Sansweet of Lucasfilm. There’s an article about the “Star Wars: Connections” presentation on StarWars.com. Also, there are a few other con-related articles at the site.
– Samurai Jack ought to be really cool. The folks from Cartoon Network showed the movie which kicks off the series. Pretty strange for a regular, commercial TV show. Long sequences were almost entirely wordless. It has a very odd style to it. I’m looking forward to it.
back from LA and San Diego
I never got around to hooking up the laptop in San Diego, so obviously there were no Blogger posts from the con. Sorry!
I had a great time, both in LA and San Diego. Besides the wedding in LA, I also hit Disneyland while I was out there. That was actually more fun than I expected.
Ankur’s Wedding
Here’s some pictures from Ankur’s Wedding. Enjoy.
California
I’ve been real busy lately getting ready for my trip to California. My first stop is going to be in the LA area, then I’ll be heading for San Diego and the wonderful Comic-Con! If I have time, maybe I’ll post updates from San Diego. If not, then I’ll be incommunicado for a while.
Exploding Dog
Do I have a link to Exploding Dog on this site anywhere? If not, then I really need one. Some of these are real gems. Simple, but effective.
PC Expo
Not much interesting to report from PC Expo this year.
Stuff that just wasn’t there this year:
- Dot-coms.
-
Linux.
-
Dell.
Stuff that was:
-
Palm, Handspring, and Pocket PC stuff. And lots of it.
-
Lots of wireless stuff — service providers, hardware, devices.
-
Ott-Lite. These guys make nifty lamps. Okay it doesn’t sound exciting, but really, they’re nice lamps.
