    If anyone needs a room at a host hotel for DC 2017, drop me a line. I currently still have some rooms available at the Hilton, and Sheraton.

    DragonCon Peeps. I have an extra room (possibly 2) at the Marriott (Host Hotel).

    All of the host hotels are sold out. The Marriott sold out this morning within 1 minute. I'm dropping a note here before contacting other sites. The rooms aren't cheap, but they're at a host hotel, and have a great view. PM me if you're interested.

    Holy Crap! Watchtower is back... sort of...(3 new songs)

    Watchtower: New Songs. Is now too soon to recommend them for next year? They're a band worth sponsoring, and I'd gladly help get them to Atlanta.

    Another day, another shooting. Welcome to America.

    The amount of gun-related injuries and deaths in the United States is staggering. It makes terrorism seem like tee-ball compared to firearms being the all star players in MLB.

    Working with family sucks sometimes

    This is a safe place to vent... so feel free to ignore. This past week has been god damned irritating. I became aware that a family member (whom I hired last year) has been slacking, and taking advantage of the situation. I was able to deal with (and hopefully resolve) the fallout with our...

    Supreme Court upholds Obamacare subsidies

    The Health Care Industry Needs to Operate As a Free Market, not as a Monopoly. - There's no reason my insurance rates should go from $450/month in 2007 to $1,400 in 2015. - There's no reason I should be able to buy a script in Egypt for less than $900, but have to pay almost $90,000 for the same...

    IQ: The Road of Bones is a fantastic cd. (tasty prog)

    The Road of Bones The Road of Bones Very few cds have staying power. I normally listen to a band for a few weeks (like Need) or months (generally older bands like Maiden/Priest/Krokus/etc...) and then realize, at some point I pretty much stopped listening to them. This hasn't been the case...

    Where's a good place to start with King Crimson?

    Years ago I tried listening to something by them. I think it was called Dinosaur. The most intense memory I have of that album was the desire to drink Nyquil so the music would be more interesting. It was too plodding for my frenetic tastes. Over the years I've contemplated checking them out...

    Demand is high. I preordered both books; Invisible City's delivery date has been pushed back 2 weeks, while Night Walk's delivery date is still a mystery, but I expect it to arrive by late March - early April. I recommend them even if it delivery times are skewered. At least you'll get a copy...

    Lobbyists: The Divine Comedy

    Lobbyists are an entrenched part of our political landscape. They grease the gears of government from the coffers of their corporate handlers in order to "help society." It's kind of like feeding cats to elephants, while being an advocate for the ASPCA (though cats are evil beasts, and elephants...
