Ladies and gentlemen, I am *exceedingly* pleased to announce, at long, long last, the official launch date of my comic book, “Take A Chance”.

it don’t hardly seem possible…
It don’t hardly seem possible, but I’ve done everything on my get-ready list, and I am prepared to go to ComicCon. I’ve added a reading on Sunday at 12:30 in Room 24A, where the California Browncoats are generously inviting Whedon-friendly writers to come in and read a bit of their own work.

I believe /Janne is first on the waitlist.…

Except in July and August, when they do day passes because the students are gone. Ted…
movies & metrics

There were only a couple of “whoa” or “dude” kinds of moments, and one of them was very nearly on purpose, I think. I’d say that was hands down the best Reeves movie I’ve ever seen, and hell, I /like/ him. (Generally I think he’s actually a hell of a physical actor, which is why he did so well in the Matrix movies: they didn’t…
