This weekend? How about all week? :) I'm heading to the beach for summer vacation on Sunday, and coming on the trip are Puerto Rico, Dominant Species, Race For The Galaxy, 7 Wonders, and Twilight Struggle!

Tabletop's Castle Panic Gag Reel
This whole thing makes me laugh a whole lot. Thanks for watching! Hope you get to play some games with your friends this weekend, because that's what I'm doing on Saturday. Yaay!
I really hope this is Old Man's War. That would be awesome.

in which i have an audition for a feature this afternoon
I composed a post in Firefox all about how I have this awesome audition this afternoon. Then, when I tried to publish it, Firefox hung for ten minutes before it crashed. I've been spoiled by stability, so I didn't do the ctl-c that was so pretty much automatic a few years ago... so here's the tl...

One more From The Vault, because I'd completely forgotten about it, and it made me laugh out loud when I read it. While Anne and I drove down the freeway today, Just Like Heaven came on the radio. "This was my first CD," I said. "I know," she said. "You tell me that every time we hear a song f...
Also, I just got your subject line. You, sir, are a genius.

Would you kindly enjoy this memory from PAX East?
I've been watching a lot of Doctor Who lately. I just started watching Daleks in Manhattan, and the 1930s recording of Putting on the Ritz they play near the top of the show reminded me of something cool that happened at PAX East that I meant to write about, but never did. The con was over, and ...
As soon as you started describing the scene at the end with the music and rain, my mind went straight to Rapture too. It was nice to read that we both ended up at the same place. :)

If you can find it (and have a machine that will play it), Tron 2.0 is a badass PC game. Highly recommended and looks fantastic.

Field Report: E310
The last time I went to E3, it was one of the most annoying experiences of my life. I remember feeling assaulted by sound in a convention hall that was so crowded, I couldn't take more than two steps without stopping. It was miserable. Yesterday, I went back to E3 for the first time in two or th...

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...

Anne and I got to go see The Pee Wee Herman show last night. It was phenomenal, and I realized about 20 minutes into the show that I was sitting on the edge of my seat, grinning and jumping around like a little kid ... because that's pretty much how I used to watch Pee Wee's Playhouse. After the...

My friend Ariana works with Warren Ellis to make all kinds of really cool things. Lately, they've been experimenting with print on demand technology to take creative risks that simple economics would have rendered impossible as recently as five years ago. For example, three weeks ago, they sta...
I suppose the name change was made so that the symbolism works better? Or maybe to make it more obvious for mainstream TV viewers? I think they could have written that scene so that it would have worked with a Catherine gravestone and still gotten the point across.

Trying to think about something else for a moment ... When we shoot a TV show or a movie, we often have to cheat our looks closer or farther away from the camera during our closeups. Most of the time, the place we're supposed to look is marked with a piece of tape, like an orange X, for exampl...
I really enjoyed the episode tonight, and I loved the showdown scene!
Possible Spoiler Alert!
Did anyone else notice the gravestone at the end said Sophie Devereaux instead of Catherine? (Katherine?) I found a plot hole!

I've been reading my friend Pauly's blog and following him on Twitter while he's at the World Series of Poker, and even though I don't play nearly as much as I once did, it's making me wish I was there with him and a lot of my other friends, not just to play, but to write about it, as well. Thou...

Wil, I demand you use your super secret Hollywood connections to get WWdN readers an advance copy of this movie. And don't pretend like you don't have them; we're wise to you. I know they're only supposed to be used in an emergency, but COME ON, MAN! This is WATCHMEN!

I'm not a fan of horror, so Pseudopod is not for me. However, their sister podcasts, Escapepod and Podcastle, generally have phenomenal science fiction and fantasy stories, respectively. I recommend you check those out if you're a fan of either genre.
