And I’ll Call it … San Francisco Stories
The other night I took the dogs out for their midnight walk. As I was crossing the street, I couldn’t help but notice the screaming coming from the park. It was Madison on a binge, having a shout-out with an extremely loud woman.
As I was crossing the street, another of the park denizens was [...]

Almost Meeting Gavin
I shared a lovely meal with some friends last week at a swanky new restaurant. Early in the meal, I overheard two waiters talking. Something about having to make room for the mayor. I thought they were joking.
Later, someone said, “Well there he is.” And over my shoulder I saw that familiar gelled ‘do. [...]
Things I Saw at Wondercon
Things I saw at Wondercon, a list in no particular order.
That Pepsi Girl.
Spider-man hanging out with a Stormtrooper.
That actor who played the froggy mutant in the X-Men movie.
That actor who beat up George Clooney in Ocean’s 11.
That actor who got killed in some horror movie.
That actor who played Boomer on Battlestar Galactica. The old one [...]
Rockstar Treatment
If there’s one thing better than having super-talented friends, it’s having super-talented friends who let you participate in their projects. Today Heather and I went over to Robin’s garage studio for the rockstar treatment, which consists of a white backdrop, a few lights, and a camera. All in all it’s pretty low tech. The fanciest [...]
This Year’s Girl
Into every generation, a pouty blond is born …
Take Buffy the Vampire Slayer and remove the vampires, the witty dialogue, the compelling characters, and the genre-bending ideas. Add in more demons, more religion, a cast that all look like they just stepped off a runway, and give everyone utterly selfish motivations. Finally, take the girl, [...]
New: Just a Link
A new feature to the ol’ dotcom: Just a Link. Approximately three years after everyone else got one, I’ve added a little sidebar link blog to my site. It’s for quick links. Just little one-liners: A link and a thought. The same thing I said was not “all that revolutionary” five years ago. And, yeah, [...]
Technoratized
Now that I’ve been working at Technorati long enough for the Kool-Aid to kick in, I decided to trick out my blog a bit with some nifty Technoratiness. Here are the highlights:
1. Search! Google may have this site indexed back to 1997, but it can take weeks for new entries to show up there. If [...]
Awesomeness Galactica
Don’t waste your time lamenting the cancellation of Enterprise - the show’s been a dog since the first time that sappy theme song aired. If you want to see the best science fiction on television, watch Battlestar Galactica on the Sci Fi Channel.
When the original Star Wars movie came out, I was four years old. [...]
A Special Letter from the House of Powazek
I’ve always been the creative sort. A maker of things. With a drive to succeed. And I’ve always dated strong, independent women. Creative types. Writers, actresses, editors, and, God help me, designers.
So it comes as no surprise that I now find myself married to Heather. Beautiful, wonderful, creative, successful Heather. I do love her so.
But [...]
