I’m a huge fan of Orson Scott Card, and although I’m not going to be signing up for the Cardathon Challenge, I wanted to pimp it anyway. (I am reading at least six OSC books this next year; I’m just not much for writing reviews.) Not only is the entire OSC catalog up for reading, [...]

My officemate and I have worked out a deal where I work for her three days a month in lieu of rent. Doesn’t get much better than that, an office with zero overhead. (And massive productivity!! Except for today.) I’m excited about the future.

Why are your cool sunglasses so expensive? Why Bvlgari? Why not [...]

Dear Santa,
I’ve been very good this year, despite ridiculous crap happening pretty much continuously. I realize you’re reading this in mixed company, what with the elves and all, so I’ll refrain from describing exactly what type of storm 2006 has been.
Anyway, thank you for giving me Bono in vinyl pants as an early bonus. For [...]
