For you gourmand geeks out there: PC EZ Bake Oven
Edit: Shoulda known…this one was a ThinkGeek April Fool’s day joke…OK guys, you got me…
And for those late nite beer-guzzling chain-smoking lan parties, I present the Thermaltake X-Ray
Edit: This one appears real
Sigh…what’s next, a port-a-potty that doubles as a CPU cooler?

I just finished reading Neil Gaiman’s Smoke and Mirrors: Short Fiction and Illusions. I have always loved his writing, and am an advid fan of his blog – lots of interesting things there. Anyway, Smoke and Mirrors: Short Fiction and Illusions is, as its title leads one to believe, a collection of his short stories, poems, and other bits. I have been a avid consumer of Science Fiction, fantasy, and the like as far back as I can remember (I cut my fiction teeth on Susan Cooper’s The Dark is Rising Sequence, and Lloyd Alexander’s tales of Taran the Pig-Herder before I even started grade school). My wife normally has no interest in any of that sort of fiction beyond a slight acceptance of Star Trek. On this day she picked up the book, read for a bit, then announced “I LOVE Neil Gaiman”. Fortunately I was able to take that statement in context and ferret out that she meant she loved Neil Gaiman’s writing, and was not lusting after his body. At least now I have an excuse to get Good Omens.

Well, MidSouthCon 22 is over and I’m back to my paying job.
The con was a blast, and even though I was sore until Wednesday, I can’t wait until next year! We had a few bumps (I got caught in a game of musical hotel rooms and registration had some issues), but I would
still take that over the Feds crawling all over the place like in 2002. I’ve got the pics I uploaded available here. Enjoy!
As a bonus, I’m going to be seeing Hellboy tonight at a free screening with tickets I got at the Con! WooHoo!
More later (maybe!)
