From a review of the new Indy movie, Annalee Newitz of io9.com has the following observation: The only edge to the film is a clumsy, knee-jerk liberal subplot about how the evil U.S. government suspects everyone of being part of the Red Menace — even Indy! Sounds just like the evil, suspicious U.S. government today! […]
So yes, I’m really going to be handing out ribbons at Baycon, because I just picked up the order from the factory. Here are the shots of the five ribbons I’m carrying. (The fifth one is mostly covered due to the top secret nature.) Here they are: They are shiny. Also, any ribbons not given […]
Here’s an old shot pulled out of my archives. The shot’s taken from a passenger seat going 75 down I-5 as one drops into Anderson from the hill to the south. This was those last few moments of realizing that I was home after a long trip from the Bay Area. This photo is better […]
You might recall my post from the other day in which I wrote about the story of a home run nearly lost but for good sportsmanship by the other team. Well, here’s the video ESPN put together. Warning: Have Kleenex ready.

Eliot, from Little Giddings This one is going into the quotes file. Anyway, consider this a thread for open musings. What’s on your mind, folks? Comment […]

I finally decided on a ribbon. It will say: Met katster. (still not king) I’m amused, anyway. :)
Baycon’s coming in less than two weeks! I’m pretty stoked. Baycon was fun last year, and this year I’m actually staying at the hotel instead of commuting from far away. I’m also showing a friend around her first science fiction convention. (It was pretty easy to convince her to go. All I had to […]
I love baseball. My love for it has faded since I was in sixth grade. I once knew every single winner of every single World Series, had a hugeassed baseball card collection (of which I still have most of them) and once won tickets to see my beloved Giants play for knowing the answer to […]
So yeah, I’m not in my happy place these days. Wednesday was a headache-inducing day, as I sat in the office and couldn’t focus because they’re fixing the light rail across the street. This involved heavy use of the pile driver. So far today, the pile driver has not been invoked, so I’m hoping I’ll […]
In which katster finds the lines between reality and fiction a bit blurry…
I may have found a fix for the LJ crossposter, so I’m testing it now. You never saw this.
So, here’s about the best I can do with meez about designing myself. They don’t have plain baseball caps for girls. :(
The folks who hang on my IRC channel have occasionally seen gibberish come across their screen as a kitten walked across the laptop keyboard. That’s Ebony, and she’s the all black kitten in back. She has a paw draped over her sister, but it’s kinda hard to tell because of black on black problems. The […]
