Movin’ & Shakin’
Well, well, well, here we are again, gearing up for San Diego Comic Con. I hope you aren’t just now thinking about going ‘cause it’s too late. Hotels are pretty much sold out (well anyone you could afford,) tickets are pretty much sold out (well the days you actually wanted to attend,) and tables/booths (especially [...]
The Future is Here
Well sort of… unless you live under a rock you should have noticed a couple (thousand) ads about the iPad. It comes out this weekend. First, I just have to say, iPad, really? Pad? All the smart people at Apple & that is the name we went with? Did not half the office snicker the [...]

It’s here… almost!
Master Digital Color is almost here, we saw advanced copies today. Overall, it looks really good. A couple tiny glitches that they are going to try to fix before the mass printing but it looks pretty good if I do say so myself. Ya know, I have to admit that this book writing process is [...]
Too Much Stuff!
This past weekend Brian & I (mostly Brian) started cleaning out the garage. It is amazing how much stuff gets piled up in the corners, on shelves, in cabinets, etc. Where does all this stuff come from? It’s bad enough that our house is full of stuff but what kind of stuff can survive in [...]
Where is the Woo?

I say, where is the love? Where is the [...]
