Even Captan Hammer needs tech support! I am always delighted to be awesome in the presence of someone who’s work i respect and admire.  Forest was furious as soon as she recovered from the shock of it!  She asked me to help tidy, not two hours earlier.  I am a master procrastinator where cleaning is concerned.  “Lets just watch TV instead,” I said. This may have hurt those efforts for years to come.

Star Wars and code!

Vader MatrixWith my work queue nearly completed, i have decided this morning to sit down and start a few small projects of my own.  I’ve got three screens up; client side, server side and Star Wars.  I am ready to get it done. Starting with the original version of the the original  A New Hope.  This will keep the creativity flowing while not distracting too much from the task at hand.  I’ll be posting on the other side assuming i produce something worth sharing.

Crowds & Food Trucks

First time at Wondercon, I had a great time.  Hilariously interesting panels, friendly people and amazing costumes.  Food trucks for miles supplemented the usual con food.  Similar to Comic Con in spirit, but not in scope.  Wondercon lacked the sweltering crowds and with them, much of the lines.  This more intimate setting afforded more direct fan interaction.  I saw creators hugging fans and levels of joy and enthusiasm that could almost approximate wonder.

…And there were robots.
