In Honor of the Oregon Primary
A classic from Dave's Longbox, which I am already missing. Damnit, Dave, why'd you have to go and have demands on your time other than making me laugh 'til I cried over bad art or raving about the awesome of the Demon Bear saga?

Return from Oz
Emerald City ComiCon was awesome. Despite the Friday night creepy, the weekend turned out marvelously; I made awesome new friends (the glorious sort who just sort of *click* and after four hours you're telling embarrassing stories and making plans to meet up over Thanksgiving weekend), met a lot of the creators I've worked with via phone and email ( Read more... ) -
.51: Geekspace for Women Goes Live
".51 - Geekspace for Women is for those of us who have been the only woman in a math or engineering class, who’ve been ignored at the hardware/computer parts/electronics store, who’ve been presumed to be somebody’s assistant/secretary/girlfriend/wife instead of the brains of the outfit - for all of us, this site is a big, fat “Get out of my way!

George Takei is Cooler than You.
My friend Ryan asked me to make him a t-shirt that says "I'd go gay for George Takei." Because c'mon, who wouldn't?--especially after seeing this video, which is seriously the best thing ever.

Stumptown Day 2
Still awesome. Still exhausted. More at Inside Out. -
Oh, Blow Me... Away
Exceptional circumstances have forestalled the sequel to my last Inside Out post in favor of a not-particularly-civil response to the NYCC panel descriptions. -
AN AWESOME IDEA
Okay, stay with me here.
There's an orc.
A Warcraft-type orc, with that voice and those speech patterns.
And she or he is a Rogerian-type therapist.
I can think of very few things that make me as happy as the idea of an orc doing reflective listening. -
It's okay. You can hate me if you want.
Finally got to the frame shop and discovered that I could get all three pages I'd been waiting to frame done for about what I was expecting one to cost.
Sitting behind me, waiting to hang in the living room or office, is original art from B.P.R.D.: Garden of Souls, Baker Street, and the first page of Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite #1, all in ( Read more... ) -
Well, Then
I just signed the contract for my first honest-to-fuck paid writing gig, an article called "Four-Color Invasion: How Comic Books Crashed the Canon," which will appear in the upcoming issue of Gulf Coast. So, yeah, that. -
Where'd It Go?
A week or so ago, someone - I think someone on my flist - posted a comparison of superheroines' costumes to lingerie (to which they're often likened) and atheletic wear (which they generally resemble more closely in both form and function). I can't find the post in question - does anyone have a link to it?
