Emily and I are heading out on Friday for a little vacation in my ancestral homeland (northern Illinois) to hang out, play games and drink like fish with my extended family. This is just a little post to say hi and check in on things me-related before we leave. It’s worth mentioning that this blog [...]

Long time readers of this blog may have noticed a certain… lag in the posting frequency around here. I could trot out the usual excuses of my relative hectic schedule and demanding lifestyle, but the truth is, my Internet habits have changed in the last couple of years. Some time ago I switched my work [...]

Because I still occasionally find the five minutes in my schedule to do a linkdump… Selleck Waterfall Sandwich. God bless the Internet. Sexting, and what it means to be a girl How to report the news Augmented Hyper-Reality (a view of the future?) UK SF writer Damien G. Walter is teaching a class on science [...]

I’ve got several blog posts brewing — linkdumps and rants about non-violence and the efficacy of war and facebook privacy nonsense — but with the semester ending and the holidays in full swing, they all have to wait a bit. Stay with me though, things will pick up around here before too long. Two quick [...]

… but barely. Here are some links I need to clear away from FF… First up, my new Spacetime Report is up at The Contrarian. And I’m blogging at the VIFF blog this week. Can sci-fi movies still be cool? First 8 minutes of V are online. The Kings of Convenience play at Spin (I [...]

Hi there, Internet! First off, I just filed a new Spacetime Report over at The Contrarian. Check it out. Also, I’ll be blogging over at the VIFF blog a bit for the next couple of weeks. The film festival starts Friday and runs for ten days, so I’ll be pretty swamped between my job, teaching [...]

Hey bloggyland… I know it’s been a week since the last Candleblog post. Insert my usual complaints about my busy life, etc. here. I’ll have a big juicy likdump for you tomorrow to make up for it, I promise. Emily and I just got home from Selene Colburn’s History of the Future Collection dance performance. [...]

Blogging is the first thing to go when things get busy. Here are a few links that have been haunting my Firefox tabs lately, just itching to get blogged about… Repurpose is a nifty little short doc about a hackers’ collective in Montreal. We talked about this on Sunday’s PSFR, but you should take a [...]

Here are the subjects of the blog posts I’ve been meaning to write on my staycation but haven’t found the time for… 1. The end of newspapers does not mean the end of professional journalism. Examples of previous technological paradigm shifts support my claim. 2. Using the new Star Trek film as an example, I [...]

I’m off work this week and I have a couple of good blog posts burning holes in my brain, but I have family in town for a another day so they’ll have to wait another 24 hours or so. Stay tuned. I’ll be posting a Poli-Sci-Fi Radio today though, if you’re curious about a Star [...]
