I saw this elsewhere, thanks to Nea, and it looked kinda cool. Never let it be said that I don’t like cool. 😉 Tell me about a story I haven’t written, and I’ll give you one sentence from that story. So hit me up, people. Give me something off-the-wall. Or not. And I’ll give youContinue reading “On Unwritten Tales”
On Things I Am Not
From time to time I like to pull the logs of the search phrases used to reach this fine webpage. I wonder at times… What topics do people think I can offer insight into? What do people want to know? How can I educate? Instead, I discover that people think I run a fan club.Continue reading “On Things I Am Not”
Once More, on the Bayeux Tapestry
This is a little something for all the history geeks and English geeks who read this site. I saw link to this on Diane Duane’s blog, filed it away, and then took a look this morning. What is it? Someone took the Bayeux Tapestry and made an animated film out of it. The Bayeux Tapestry,Continue reading “Once More, on the Bayeux Tapestry”
On Virginia Tech
I have friends who went to Virginia Tech. My family has friends who went to Virginia Tech. I have friends whose friends went to Virginia Tech or may still be students there. When I saw the news about the rampage at Virginia Tech today, I felt it personally. To anyone who attends Virginia Tech, IContinue reading “On Virginia Tech”
On "Gridlock"
About a year ago when the new Doctor Who‘s second season began a frequent chorus was heard in online fandom–“David Tennant is good, but I can’t help but wonder how Christopher Eccleston would have been.” Tennant seemed traditionally Doctorish, while Eccleston’s performance was something else, like a force of nature. Eventually the chorus died downContinue reading “On "Gridlock"”
On the '80s!
I saw this over at Bill’s a few days ago, a quiz on the 80s! Let’s take a look at the questions and answers, shall we? 🙂
On More Random Questions
Before we begin, the floor’s still open in the “Ask Allyn Anything” thread. You ever wanted to know, take your shot. 😉 Or you can read this. Because it’s a rainy, mucky, miserable afternoon, here’s more questions courtesy of Ross, and who knows? You could find the answers to your unasked questions here! 😉
On Creationism Nonsense
I wrote recently something along the lines of “Flat Earthers and Creationists know more about science and the way the universe works than Brannon Braga.” Braga, of course, is the long-time Star Trek writer who wrote such scientific howlers as “Genesis” (in which people de-evolve into shrews and spiders, neither of which would be inContinue reading “On Creationism Nonsense”
On a Fortunate Find
I spent part of the afternoon at the storage shed. I wasn’t searching for anything in particular–I hoped to find a book on the history of astronomy I knew I owned and couldn’t find. If I didn’t find it, though, no great loss. I went through box after box. A book on the historical Arthur.Continue reading “On a Fortunate Find”
On Asking Allyn Questions
I’ve been thinking about this; I’ve seen people do it on LiveJournal. I am opening the floor to questions from the audience. I am, indeed. So what do you want to know? If you want to know how I take my coffee, here’s your chance. If your question is too personal, potentially libelous, or borderlineContinue reading “On Asking Allyn Questions”
