Well, not exactly. But I am now a Vice President. Sure, it’s only for the Midwest Chapter of the Mystery Writers of America, but that’s still pretty cool (I was the only candidate, and they had blackmail information to make me run BUT STILL…)
In addition to the web duties, I’ll be working on scheduling meetings [...]

A visit to Green Brain Comics
December 26th, 2009 · No Comments
When I’m in the Detroit area, I like to visit Green Brain comics in Dearborn.
It’s a nice, clean shop and my daughters are usually able to find things for all ages.
This time we had two of their cousins with us – a boy and girl who had never been to a shop before.
For him, [...]

Stop being stupid and get out of my way

I hate when technology fails.
I especially hate, hate, hate automated telephone systems. All they’re designed to do is take away jobs from real people. When they don’t work, they add frustration to the whole process. It took me a half hour to order movie tickets over the phone for NO GOOD REASON.
And you know what [...]

ACEN fail
December 19th, 2009 · 2 Comments
Oh ACEN, you made me buy a badge in order to be able to vie for a table in Artist’s Alley, so I did.
But then you wouldn’t let me sign up for that table, and then you didn’t let me know when I could.
Now I find out registration opened up last week and after I [...]

No comic, trying for a replacement computer
December 8th, 2009 · No Comments
Well, I tried to work on the comic last night but my eyes just couldn’t handle looking through the wavy blue lines on our little iMac screen for very long.
I’ll do a bit more tonight and see if I can finish it.
Meantime I’m working on securing a replacement computer – another G5 mac, this time [...]

December 5th, 2009 · 2 Comments
Testing went very well. I guess I was a bit pumped because my partner hit the mat hard enough to toss his glasses. Oops.
Now, the girls test for their deputy black belt on Wednesday.

Now would be a good time

New COTR page is up. I’m posting remotely so I don’t have a direct link.
Alas, out little iMac is on it’s last leg – the screen has wavy blue lines across it so that’s finally going. I’m going to do a backup, then figure out our options.
I really don’t want – or need – [...]
