SwanCon 2009 programme is up and interactive.

OK. Updated the eternal wishlist with more links to local bookshops. Made another list of things to do. Did a little guitar playing (am very rusty). Did a little online networking. Reloaded business cards. Made some queries. Crossed a couple of things off the older to-do list ( Read more... )

Went to GenghisCon last weekend. It's a scrappy little convention with a bit of everything, which suited me. Spent most of the time in the primary panel room. Managed to sleep through my alarm on the Sunday and miss the 3D printing panel, which was annoying as I'd talked to the presenter the previous day and he'd asked if I wanted to be on it due ( Read more... )

On speculation that Sari Sumdac's disturbing personal discovery at the end of the last season might have been caused by her having a closer link to Megatron than previously suspected ( Read more... )

Doctor Who fan comic "The Ten Doctors" is not half bad. Ten Doctors, twice that many companions, more than half a dozen classic villans, and cameos from all kinds of characters out of Who history, and it still manages a fast-paced plot ( Read more... )

I bought my first piece of fansign the other day at Supanova - a rather low-quality jackety thing with an Autobot symbol on the back. It was a genuine spur of the moment purchase - I've never bought wearable/displayable stuff which marked me specifically as a fan of something, mostly because I tend to overthink such things. And also because usually ( Read more... )

Supanova hit Perth for the first time this weekend, so I wandered along to have a look ( Read more... )
