A few folks have corresponded with me via email about this, but I feel like I should address it here as well. This was originally posted to Siffblog; I try to crosspost here as well. Tablet has announced that the current issue, #103, will be the final edition of the magazine. While Siffblog has been affiliated with Tablet, I…

As Paul drafted me to participate in this World Blog Day thing, I assembled a list of blog-types outside my normal blog-pale. However, I restricted my search to blogs of direct personal interest to me based on my life experiences. As an anti-chain-letter type, though, I decline to pass this along. I have lived in both Mexico and Chile,…

Once again, short on time, enough so that I regret to report that his entry shall undoubtedly suffer. In the machine migration I appear to have left some nifty Word macros behind that allowed me to do a certain amount of basic HTML in that app without having to resort to cleaning up the beast’s unruly, overfeatured HTML. So…

Saturday night, I caught two Bogart films on TMC, 1951’s uneven The Enforcer, a fictionalization of the discovery and prosecution of the notorious Murder, Inc., and a great film I’d unaccountably missed in my peerings at and mumblings on the era’s work. That film is In a Lonely Place (1950), based on the recently-republished Dorothy Hughes title of the same…

Although there is a bus ride in the middle, here are the things I see every day on my way to work. Yesterday morning, though, there was an added attraction: the burned-out remnants of Hillcrest Market. A walk to work. (Grumble. The captions didn’t come over from iPhoto and I’m out of steam.)…

The roadkill cooked slowly, only gradually charring enough to allow one to easily slough the charred skin. Once that material patched off, an unsightly orange tone was observed in the yet-underdone flesh of the item. Later, we were set upon by a night nibbler….

As we drove south on Chuckanut Drive, overlooking the waters that hold the San Juans, we came across this lovely militarian art car, lableled in stencil on the trunk “54 Buick Special P-40.” The car also featured what I’d have to describe as ‘tail art,’ and a front-facing fifty-caliber machine gun in the back seat, not clearly visible in…

I could reload my website all day long, just watching my spiffy new randomizing header reload and change. I loves me summa dat ol’ woodtype, yers I do. Alas, though, for Photoshop’s v.7 lack of the excellent Illustrator filters that so beautifully allow random shifts of baseline and edge to be gently inflected ‘pon the bodies of the glyphs, in…

In preparation for my late February Stranger story on the Seattle comics community, i spoke to a number of observers and participants; I’m running my notes and transcriptions here for a few days.

Jason Webley Interview II Part Two

All week this week I’m running an enormous interview I conducted in May and October of 2003 with Jason Webley, who is playing his last show of the season at Town Hall in Seattle on November 1st. See you there! I ran the first four parts of these transcripts in July, just ahead of the Monsters of Accordion shows, which…

In May of 2003, I spoke with musician – and friend – Jason Webley at great length about his plans for the upcoming 2003 performing season and about his music in general. It was by far the most detailed conversation I’d ever had with him on the topic. I’ve known Jason since sometime in 1999, around the time he released…

On Friday, Greg’s Previews, a usually pretty relibale source of production tracking information on films in preproduction, posted a tracking page for the forthcoming Elric movie. He mentions (and links to) this part of my Michael Moorcock interview. Of course, he didn’t get this site’s name right - I wrote him asking for a correction but it’s the weekend and…
