The UK website Sci-Fi Online reviewed the newest Star Trek: Corps of Engineers compilation Grand Designs, of which my own Ring Around the Sky is a part. From their review: It’s obvious from his detailed descriptions that Gibson gets a real kick out of technology as he indulges himself and the reader in descriptions ofContinue reading “On a Grand Designs Review”

On Weird Fandom Questions
Stolen from novelist David McIntee: Name six of your fandoms without looking below the cut, then answer the questions. Okie-day! I’m interpretting “fandom” broadly—I like bands, I like books, I like television shows. So, broad definitions here. My six are: Hellboy The Beatles Doctor Who The Lord of the Rings Star Trek Boston Legal AndContinue reading “On Weird Fandom Questions”
On Product Solicits
This afternoon I had to write up product solicits for trading cards. These aren’t especially difficult. The text is generally a given. Usually the most I have to do is to clean up tenses, clean up bolding and italics, add verbs, and give some product specifications like number of cards per pack, number of packsContinue reading “On Product Solicits”
On the Shore Leave Round-Up
It occurs to me that others have written long and lengthy posts about the things they did at Shore Leave over the weekend. I’ve mentioned dribs and drabbles here and there–yes, the TARDIS USB hub is fantastic–but I haven’t done an all-encompassing thing. And since it’s Thursday (or something like that–my time sense has goneContinue reading “On the Shore Leave Round-Up”

On a Shore Leave Dream
I had a dream last night. Oddly (for me, anyway), I remember this dream. It was about Shore Leave, the Star Trek convention held in Baltimore every July. So! The dream. As many attendees know, the Hunt Valley Marriott changed the carpet about a year and a half ago. In light of that, the conventionContinue reading “On a Shore Leave Dream”
