It’s been a long couple weeks. First with Angela being sick, then with some deadline madness at work. Right now, I’m waiting to get my hair cut for the first time since well before DragonCon. There is a bit of a wait on Saturday (its to be expected, I usually take care of this during the week on my lunch hour), at least it gives me time to just sit.

Finally an iPhone
Finally bought an iPhone after all these years. Mostly it just feels like an iPod that I (occasionally) make calls on and the camera is better.
12 Years On
It’s been some time since the madness. Time to let wounds heal, but still remember. Remember not to trade too much of our freedom for security. Remember to appreciate life, we don’t know how long we really have. Remember to love and appreciate the people in our lives, we don’t know how long they have.
ComicPress Updates
I’ve been using ComicPress to publish coming on Think Weasel! for several years now. A while ago, I set it up on this site as well, as a way to showcase photos and test new features before using them on our comic sites.
A couple weeks before DragonCon, the current developer released a major update. Now that things are calming down post-Con, I’ll be doing some tests here, stay tuned.
Unpaid Volunteers the Heart of DragonCon
Its always been odd to me that a private, for-profit corporation runs with an all volunteer labor force. I’ve always wondered how much of the money goes into the Con and how much goes to the handful of shareholders. With that said, I support the decision of both parties (the company and the volunteers) to do this! They are all adults and nobody is forcing them into it.
It takes an army: an army of unpaid volunteers, who are at the heart of what makes Dragon Con a success each year.
57,000 people attended the science fiction and fantasy convention Dragon Con in downtown Atlanta over Labor Day weekend. It’s staffed by over 1,800 volunteers who put in anywhere from 25 to 80 or more hours of work during the convention.
