My short story What We Give appears in Lost Innocence: A Niteblade Anthology.
The anthology is available in both .pdf and print (and looks wonderful ^_^).
I’ve noticed lately that I’m not really in the mood to go out and take pictures.
Yesterday I even took my camera with me while I was out and about, with the full intention of taking a picture for yesterday’s Friday Photo. You know, the one that was never posted.
I didn’t see anything I felt like taking a shot of. In fact, I didn’t even take the camera out of my bag.
So, I’ve decided to put it on hiatus for a while. I kept it going for longer than I thought I would, so it’s all right to take a break at this point, I think.

This is an approximately hour long lecture by Dr. Michael Wesch from Kansas State University. (He’s the one who created the video The Machine is Us/ing Us, which I love.)
So, it’s a bit of a time commitment, but I think this is a really interesting overview of YouTube.
The MacEwan Residences are now on my list of place to never return to. The accomidations are below what they’re charging you (and it looks like they stealth charged us in addition to not providing checkout times), the rooms are almost unihabitable in the summer, and the staff are incompetant.
I enjoyed just about everything else. So, based on my experience, if you’re coming to Edmonton for a convetion or any other place, stay somewhere else. Even if it means paying a little more.
I just got back from Animethon, at which I had a wonderful time. It’s also got me pondering a few things.
A while ago I started my second attempt at a story idea, as I’ve now combined it with another and thought I had enough to go with. I’ve been dragging my feet on it, whoever, as it’s still not working. It’s more than just not having a cealr story arc, though I’d love one of those, but it’s just that the atmosphere isn’t there yet.
Watching the shows this weekend, I had a thought (and I hope zhan_shi gets a well deserved giggle out of it):
My story would work better as an anime.
It really would. So, now I have to try to decide what I should do with it. On the one hand, I could try nad get the same flavour from text, but on the other I could nag my artist friend and see if she’d been willing to try a mock up of a few pages.
I’m not sure which I’m going to choose yet, but I guess that means I need something else to work on in the meantime
