out of town
So, Monday morning I decided my cold was sufficiently vanquished; threw my suitcase down the stairs; pried the horseblanket off the windshield; ran over the downed tree limb blocking the parking lot; and merged onto Interstate 35 heading south, two hours before it was closed because of downed power lines. According to the copy of the American-Statesman that I was reading last night over custom nachos at the W

I have at my elbow Harlan Ellison's Again, Dangerous Visions. You recall, the 1972 anthology that single-handedly turned science-fiction* from clunky Heinlenien worthlessness into true literature. Now, I personally don't think Ellison's own stories have held up incredibly well, and from all accounts he is in person an abrasive, self-promoting, laurel-resting, butt-patting little homunculus. I am, however, w

webcomics week
It was an eventful week in webcomics. Narbonic gracefully wrapped its storyline, folded the tent, and converted its archives to free; while Casey & Andy sputtered to a halt and fell over. Achewood won the Ignatz for best webcomic. Scary Go Round introduced a bunch of teenage

Sigh. Best laid plans, I guess. I mean, look at OU's whole backup quarterback situation - the choice seemed sound at the time, great publicity for the university, great publicity for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and now look where it's got us.

A joint review of Tales of the Sinestro Corps Presents: Superman Prime #1
I don't usually review comics on this blog, but I'm going to make an exception, for reasons that will become clear.
The issue's main story is a highly serviceable origin-recap / punch-up that reminds us that vandalizing Bart Allen's grave is never not funny... but I want to pass on to the backup story, Fea

At the corner of Flood and Grey, a slightly scruffy guy stood in his yard, playing a guitar. I stared; he nodded and strummed and beamed and pivoted to follow the car as the light turned and I drove away.

I was cabinet-rummaging just now, and turned up a flimsy red plastic bowl, such as you'd find in a 3-pak at the Dollar Saver. "Oh hey," says the brain, "it's my little red plastic bowl - the one I've carefully preserved ever since college, and schlepped along across cities and states and years, strictly because of the joyful memory associated. Which...

On vermeil_scandal's recommendation, am reading To Say Nothing of the Dog, and wanted to quickly touch on a point of concern to us all. To paraphrase noted scholar Miss Caitlin Fairchild of Gen 13 (superheroine / physicist / fanservice-magnet)...
Stop explaining Schroedinger's Cat to me! Stop it! There's a cat, there's a box, it's all cra-hazy cutting-edge physics from 1935; I have vaguely heard of th
