Updatey McUpdate
So, recent news:
Alina and I are going to the Calgary Comic Expo in late April. This is the first REAL major comic convention Western Canada has ever had... we're talking projected attendance of around 10,000 this year, with guests like Kevin Sorbo (Hercules!), George Takei, Bill Willingham, Jennie Breeden, Ed the Sock and many others. We have a table booked to share with Tarol Hunt of Goblins fame, which is cool. Alina is planning a book and various other products, so if you happen to be in Calgary, or might consider going there on the weekend of April 26th-27th, by all means stop by!
On a related note, if anyone who reads this blog would like to help support Alina's comic for free, please visit this link and vote for her at Top Webcomics. The higher she goes on the list, the more free advertising she's been getting. Vote on there once a day to keep her rating maxed out! She just made it onto the first page (the top 100) this week, and she's had an enormous return in new hits on the site, and I'd like to keep that going. So bookmark it and vote daily! :)
In science news, my cell culture experiments are working and I'm really psyched to start collecting some real data. I've been nominated for a teaching award for the class I TA-ed last semester and everything is generally going well. I'm going to a conference in March, and hopefully next year I'll have a decent poster and go to SEVERAL conferences. We'll see how that goes for me.
