I'm in Rochester, NY for the HighEdWebDev conference…. which is now over! I've been so busy since I got here that I haven't had time to post. (That, and the wireless has been pretty flaky.) This year I was on the programming committee, so I was in charge (with my co-chair) … [Read more...] about Where’s Steph?

WorldCon: Of Parties and the Naming of Drinks
Thursday evening I had a couple of hours to kill on my own before hooking up with the rest of the VP5 posse, so I raided the book dealers, thinking I'd drag my loot back to the hotel and not have to worry about it for the rest of the con. Alas, the con had fouled up the wiring to … [Read more...] about WorldCon: Of Parties and the Naming of Drinks
WorldCon starts tomorrow. I am tired.
I took the entire week off, even though I'm not flying out to L.A. until tomorrow, so I could take care of lots of little crap that's been piling up. Crap vanquished. Whee!

I avoided the illness that was steadily felling the guests, but now I'm surrounded by sick people at work. I expect I'll become dreadfully sick just as … [Read more...] about In which your hostess makes a brief appearance
News bytes
My sidelink gizmo is borked thanks to the WordPress upgrade, so here's a handful: Joss Whedon and John Cassaday are going to do another year of X-Men (whoop!) There's a Martian sea Charlie Stross expounds on cold-bloodedly designing a fantasy series John Scalzi explains the … [Read more...] about News bytes
ArmadilloCon
This was the first con I've been to by myself in a very long time. I spent most of it in panels, and they turned out to be more informative than local con panels generally are. In particular the one on writing a multi-book series ("as opposed to all those single-book series," … [Read more...] about ArmadilloCon
