Am I too late.
Hope not.
Pick me pick me :)
a very limited (I mean VERY limited) autographed book lottery
Yesterday, I said: I found nine hardback copies of The Happiest Days of Our Lives that I must have put there when they first arrived at my house a couple of years ago. They look as perfect as they did the day they were taken out of the box. So I have this idea to sell them, that goes like this:...
Just watched it. Agreed.
Friday at the 2010 Phoenix Comicon - the awesome hour and rock band
Since I didn't write about it while I was there, I'm recapping some highlights of the 2010 Phoenix Comicon in the next couple posts, starting with Friday. Friday: I have felt creatively stagnant for months, and unable to write much of anything. I suspect it's because the creative part of my brai...
I can honestly say that is the first time I've enjoyed listening to Poker Face.
Also, I think spontaneous glow stick back-up would make any karaoke or rock band performance 1000% better!

This makes me want to go thrift store shopping for REALLY old encyclopedias and find out what other hilarity they contain!
James Randi: "I'm gay."
James Randi says:Well, here goes. I really resent the term, but I use it because it’s recognized and accepted.I’m gay.From some seventy years of personal experience, I can tell you that there’s not much “gay” about being homosexual. For the first twenty years of my life, I had to live in the sha...
Thanks for posting this. I came out during my senior year of high school in 1997 and it's easy for me to get discouraged about the lack of acceptance since then. It is helpful to look at it from the perspective of someone that has been fighting for much longer than that. I truly hope he is right, that in my lifetime I can be an accepted member of our society.

This is my second quilt of this style. It was ridiculously simple once I got started, and the quilt takes up a lot less space than the giant stack of t-shirts I hadn't worn in over a decade!
I wish I was crafty like you. Sewing seems to be the only thing that inspires me so far.
five quick things I think you'll like
I'm doing something fun and geeky this morning, but I need to close some tabs before I can really get into it, so I'd like to tell you all that John Scalzi's book Your Hate Mail Will Be Graded, for which I wrote the introduction, is now available in trade paperback. I genuinely loved this book, ...
THIS! I've felt this way about creating things my whole life. Your posts always encourage me to make time for my sewing projects. I'm currently creating a quilt from old t-shirts I couldn't seem to part with!

It's totally all about the Munchkin cupcake!
More importantly, how long did all of that take???
This is, without a doubt, the coolest thing I've seen all year
Reader Robin Got Excited and Made 100 cupcakes. I know what you're thinking: "Well, that's a lot of cupcakes, but so what?" Well, doubtful-person-I-just-invented, let me tell you what: each cupcake depicts a different board or video game, and she put them all up on a website where you can ident...

I ordered one immediately, and one for my dad.
When I was a tween-teenager and we had NOTHING in common, we watched TNG together. It's still our go-to topic for difficult or awkward conversations.
Hey look! It's the Memories of the Futuremug!
It turns out that all this talk about getting excited and making things, uh, got me excited to make something. I don't remember the precise moment this hit me, but I'm pretty sure it happened during one of those times I felt stuck on a story or something, and decided to get out of my office and ...
5. My community (Fresno, CA) has an "adult school," a community run education program with classes just like this.
X. Get excited and make things has inspired me to power through my term paper this weekend so I'll have enough time to finish the blanket I've been working on for the last several months!

ten quick things, including some math, a comic, and a few ideas
I can't believe it's Friday, which means tomorrow is the weekend. Where did this week go, anyway? A few things I wanted to mention before I get busy: 1. If you'd told me a year ago that I'd be going to bed between 9 and 10 every night, then waking up entirely on my own between 6 and 7 the next m...
Not related to this post: CBS is doing an NCAA style bracket for best serial killer on Criminal Minds. Vote for Floyd Hansen!
today only ... you ... can ... get ... SHATNERQUAKE ... forfree!
When I was working on Leverage this summer, I spent quite a bit of quality time in Powell's world of books. On one of my trips into the store, I saw a little book with a fantastic cover that I knew I would be buying before I even laid a hand on it. That book was called ... Shatnerquake. I sent a...
