Hehe, the battle between TrollDad and TrollSon is going to be fun...
I recently read an article about a study that found out we're more likely to forget things when we walk through a door. Like, I want to get some tea, get up, walk into the kitchen and think "why did I come here again?". Seems doors act like "event boundaries" in your mind. *g*

In which I am a Trolldad
Ryan's home for the holidays, before he moves far, far away for his new job (hey, check out my son! He graduated college last week, and he starts a great job in two weeks! Go Ryan!!) The first night he was home, I told him that the warm covers for the bed he's sleeping on were in the dryer, so...
Very nice giveaway. I think it's so much easier to be happy in life, if you're able to be inspired by the small things. The last thing that really inspired me was the Colette Valentine video (the beautiful pictures! the French song!) but any odd thing can inspire me. Books, music, videos, pictures, blogs the weather, sunlight through the leaves, a new yummy type of tea, a mood, a talk with a good friend...

This giveaway is now closed! Thank you for all your comments! One lucky winner will be announced February 15, 2011. I've been reading my Simple Abundance. It's a book that I read every year, on and off. I truly love this book and I truly believe that it can change your life and I also believe th...
Thanks for all your wonderful tutorials! I've only gotten back home from my 3-and-a-half month long trip around the world on Sunday and am still adjusting to being back home, but I'm going to start on my pants next week!

Hem it Up!
It's the final day of the Trouser Sewalong. I really can't believe it's coming to an end. Again, sorry for all the delays. I've been undergoing lots and lots of stress lately. I have yet to show you my pairs and to show off some of yours, which I plan to do too. It will be weird for me to focu...
Awesome! I've been planning to go to FedCon this year, and your appearance cements it. My first con, yeah!
Now, how to incorporate the Atomic Dice T-shirt in my yet to be sewn awesome Star Trek Skant uniform... :D

a few programming and personal appearance notes
If everything goes according to plan, I should release Hunter later today. It's 2500 words, about the length of what you'd read in a magazine, I think, and I'm pricing it at 99 cents, for people who want to buy it. I'll eventually put it here or wil wheaton books for free, for those of you who a...
Oh I'm sooo jealous, I really really want to come! You "and* a TNG reunion *and* Felicia Day! Sadly, hopping across the pond from Berlin, Germany isn't really in my student budget. But hey, why don't you come to FedCon 2011 in Bonn? Pretty please? With strawberries on top? ;-)

the obligatory phoenix comicon schedule post
My official and complete schedule for the Phoenix Comicon has been finalized and posted. It looks an awful lot like this: Wil Wheaton Presents: The Awesome Hour! - Fri at 4:30 pm Wil Wheaton RockBand - Fri 10:00 pm at the Hyatt Felicia Day & Wil Wheaton: The Guild - Sat at noon Star Trek: TNG ...
Having installed two Kubuntus and two WinXPs on different machines in the past four weeks (no macs for poor student me), I'm happy to report that Linux does indeed just work (I even had to use a Linux live CD to download network drivers for the Windows...)
Oh, and: awesome photo. Awesome BBT-episodes, too. And I've been meaning to comment that I'm patiently (or not so patiently) waiting for the next installment of Radio Free Burrito - I'm an avid listener. :)

This picture was taken right after we finished shooting The Creepy Candy Coating Corollary last year. I'm not going to lie to you, Marge: it's one of my prized possessions. It's taken me this long to share it, because shortly after I upgraded my Macs to Snow Leopard, all of my Macs and my HP sc...
Yay! It's going to be awesome!

a little chat with Wendy & a book giveaway
When I was reading over this new book I was thinking how rad it would be to actually ask Wendy some questions. So I did. And she was kind enough to respond. At the end of this interview are instructions on how to get a chance to win a copy of Wendy's newest sewing book, Dresses—enjoy and goo...
Umm, outing myself as a fanfic nerd: I'm pretty sure that by slash fic you mean there's sex going on but actually the term ist only used for homosexual pairings, even if there's no sex in there(although that would mostly be termed light slash)... Two women in a relationship is called femme slash (or femslash) and if there's actually the nasty going on, you'd call it a smut fic - or PWP (porn without plot).

This post has nothing to do with its title, but after staring at this for 20 minutes trying to come up with one, I just grabbed the first song title I could find. Thanks, The Damned. Once again, you come through when I need you. We've had a drought in Southern California for so long now, even a ...
Hehe, it got cold and windy just in time for Hallowe'en yesterday (before that it was kind of cool and wet. eugh.) and I bought a butternut squash and two hokkaido pumpkins. They're going to be turned into soup, cupcakes and the most delicious hokkaido risotto. Yum.

in which a tale is told about the preparation of soup
Anne is helping a friend move today, so she went down to The OC last night, in order to avoid the hellish traffic that exists on the Southern California freeways between 6am and 10pm just about every day of the week. This meant that Nolan and I were alone last night, free to watch the original ...

Holy crap! It's time for Memories of the Futurecast. Memories of the Future, Volume One, covers the first 13 episodes of TNG, so each week, I'm choosing something from one episode, and performing an excerpt for you. It will mostly be from the synopses, which is where I think the real humor of ...

I'm not going to lie to you, Marge: I'm pretty damn excited for w00tstock next week. It's one of those things where it simultaneously feels like years and seconds ago that Paul (of Paul and Storm) called me and said something like, "do you want to do a show together?" "Yes. Yes I do." "Wouldn't ...
