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.
Employees
Employees, Where Art Thou? I’ve seen a few variations on this theme recently. The bottom line seems to be that it’s not the end of the world, but expect employers to be a bit more picky, and don’t expect the same kind of perks that some companies were doling out a few years ago.
Stan Lee
Stan Lee interview at the Onion. Gotta love The Man. There’s a nice page about him at Salon, too.
PC Expo
If you’re going to PC Expo, take a look at ZD Net’s coverage. I’ve been going every year for the last five years or so. It’s generally worthwhile, if you’re close to NY.
On another subject completely, check out Desperate Times. This is a fairly humorous comic by Chris Eliopoulos.
