We’re closing in on the two-thirds point of the month of July, and what are people looking for from me? Well, fully twenty percent of all searches landing on this website–over 160 thus far this month–are looking for information about Captain Jack Harkness. Beyond that, it’s the typical. “Is Stephen Fry writing a Doctor WhoContinue reading “On the Latest Search Phrases”

On USB Hubs
Did I mention this? I’m not sure. On Saturday, at Shore Leave I purchased a TARDIS USB Hub. I’d been wanting one for a while, even though I had no real need for it–my keyboard at home has a built-in USB hub, my CPU tower has a front-access USB port and four USB slots inContinue reading “On USB Hubs”
On Precognition
At Shore Leave this weekend I talked with a few people about a novel I’m working on–an historical fantasy mystery. (For something along those lines, look at Keith DeCandido’s Dragon Precinct, though that’s a little more fantasy than what I’m thinking of.) The plot is still a little rough, and I’m hoping, by the endContinue reading “On Precognition”
On Shore Leave 2007
Shore Leave. I survived. 🙂 Actually, I had a fantastic time. I met many people. I signed many books. I was on several panels. I bought a TARDIS USB Hub. I’m tired. More later.
On Technical Difficulties
Just an FYI. My e-mail server is… acting up. Incoming e-mails are… chancey. Outgoing e-mails are a crapshoot. If you’ve sent me an e-mail, I may not have seen it. If I’ve sent you an e-mail, it may not have gone out. In the meantime, if you need to flag my attention, leave a commentContinue reading “On Technical Difficulties”
On the Problem of Stupidity
Why be an atheist? That’s a good question, and philosophers have spent a great deal of time making their arguments for a non-theistic outlook on life. There’s Dawkins’ The God Delusion, Hitchens’ God Is Not Great, a whole host of arguments. Can we add another? British science fiction author Lawrence Miles suggested on his blogContinue reading “On the Problem of Stupidity”
On Shore Leave 2007
Shore Leave starts today! Shore Leave starts today! Shore Leave starts today! Leave work at five today, drive from Timonium to Hunt Valley (what–five miles?), and then con fun! Yippee! 🙂
On Notes To Self
Note to Self: Buy bag of kazoos at dollar store. Kazoos. Note to Self: Silly putty won’t fix that. Are you daft? Note to Self: That could be a good idea.
On “The Land of Happy Endings”
So I’ve been reading the Doctor Who graphic novel, The Flood, starring Paul McGann’s Doctor. And I have decided. “The Land of Happy Endings” may be the most perfect Doctor Who story ever. Dr Who and his grandchildren, John and Gillian, have a little adventure on a very sad planet. Sad grey aliens, flying robots,Continue reading “On “The Land of Happy Endings””
On a Whovian Theology
Okay, I lied. I’m still on a Doctor Who high at the moment. Yes, I did say a few days ago that, just last week, actually, oh let’s see what the quote was, “hopefully I’ll be writing about something other than Doctor Who for a while.” It happens. Something I came across in my ‘netContinue reading “On a Whovian Theology”
