Reading ebooks on your cell phone?

I discovered the magic of ebooks sometime last year. Many of the people if proseltyzed to have a hardware hurdle to overcome: no ebook reader. Leave it to the Japanese to solve the problem in typical “no duh” fashion.

Cellphone companies are offering ebook downloads direct to your cell phone.

Heck, everyone has a [...]

ET finance home?

Some things are just so extraordinary, they must be reported in their entirety: In a place where reality meets science fiction LoanPros.com is offering a new $1 Million Prize Promotion for the 1st Extraterrestrial home loan. After the ABC News documentary “The UFO Phenomenon — Seeing Is Believing,” hosted by Peter Jennings on Feb. [...]

ICE ESCAPE recap

We (Mike, Joe, Evo) attended the inaugural ICE ESCAPE convention in Phoenix over the weekend. This isn’t your (or our) typical convention. No fans dressed in period garb. No 501st. No big-name authors walking around making all the little authors jealous at the scope of their brilliance. Nope, none of that. But it was a great place to be if you wanted to get the real skinny on what it takes to get published.

Hunting for The Golden Years

Since when did this place become a scavenger hunt? Oh well. If you can help Scott with his search… When Stephen King’s “The Golden Years” first aired as a mini-series, I watched the first nine episodes (out of 10, I think). Then the last episode was pre-empted for a goddamn Detroit Tiger’s game, so [...]

Yet another scifi podcasts

I’ve got a funny feeling this podcasting thing is gonna take off. Go figure.

While I’m busy on my own things (Tee, we’ve gotta tell everyone soon), I’m also helping to maintain the SF/F node over on ipodder.org. It’s a community-support directory of podcasts in various flavors. Unlike most search engines, this isn’t [...]

Dragon Page Wingin’ It #02

A brand-new, exciting hour of entertainment from the creators of The Dragon Page “Cover to Cover” Show!

What’s on this week: – We interview Mur Lafferty from Geek Fu Action Grip to talk about the essays that inspired her segment on the show, and then we hear another fun contribution this week. (And a [...]

I’m starting her early…

I saw these at Stellarcon and I picked up one for myself (the green 12-sided die) and then, knowing how much Serena Aeryn loves the color red, I thought it would be just right for my baby girl!

So here it is — baby’s first con present, from Toy [...]

An update for Katie…

Don’t let this “Imperial troublemaker” fool you. (Although her showing off a bit of the leg might make me join the rebellion…) Cheralyn Lambeth is actually part of the 501′s Carolina Garrison (Their motto: First Through the Door!), and can perform a costume change faster than Cher! (You should see her Isis homoage…WOW!) Cheralyn’s [...]

“A Scanner Darkly”

Another Phillip K. Dick tale is headed for the big screen, and the trailer is up now over at Yahoo Movies.

So, would you call that live animation, or animated live action?

This one’s been online for a while now, and I’ve somehow missed it until now. Yeah, I’m running behind.

And I should [...]
