San Diego stuff
Here are links to a few sites with notes and pics from the con:
Mike Manley’s blog
Heidi MacDonald’s blog
Newsarama
My only news is that my feet hurt. I’m staying in a hotel that’s a bit further away from the convention center than usual, so that’s a factor. Also, I’m not as young and spry as I used to be. But I haven’t actually collapsed yet, so that’s good.
Strangely, I didn’t buy anything at the convention on Friday or Saturday. (I did pick up a few things on Thursday, and on Wednesday night.) Today’s the last day, so if I’m going to go on any kind of buying spree, it’ll have to be today. Also, strangely, I haven’t bought a single (traditional) comic book. I picked up some trade paperbacks, but no standard 32-page comics. The fact that I have about 200 comics in my “to be read” pile at home is probably a factor here.
Outpost Nine : I am a Japanese School Teacher
I stumbled across this blog today, written by an American working as a school teacher in Japan. Very funny, but kind of disturbing.
How To Look Like A UNIX Guru
This article has some nice quick tips on oddball Unix stuff. I’m always forgetting how to use awk, sed, find, and other stuff like that. It’s nice to have a few good examples to look at.
more San Diego stuff
SignOnSanDiego.com has a little write up on Comic-Con. And this blog on their site has some stuff too. Mark Evanier’s schedule is up here. The weather looks good so far too.
Comic-Con 2005
The preliminary programming schedule is up at the Comic-Con page. The PDF version is 52 pages. Yikes.
Psychotropic Salvation
My friend Gene has this piece of art showing at a gallery in NYC.
Cosmic Crash Won’t Destroy Comet or Earth
I just love this headline from SPACE.com. Because you *know* someone thinks it will.
