Incentives for Wee Geeks
When i first started blogging, I was worried that I might become just another Mommy blogger. There is nothing wrong with being a Mommy Blogger, but I had this notion that, somehow, I would no longer have interests of my own. Obviously, that’s not how it actually works. Another concern I had, as a parent …
Creativity and me
I started this blog as a place where I could geek out about things, share ideas, and, yes, talk about the cool stuff I do with my kids. It somehow became much more about the kids than the geekery. Perhaps this is a stage that all parents go through, perhaps it is just a stage …
Catching Up
Between I-Con, the school book fair, Spring break for the kids (not for me!), and a busy class schedule, I have been lax in updating of late. I have much to tell about all of the above, and more! I need to get out in the garden and take some photos of the lovely blooms …

Post-I-Con!
I-Con 29 went swimmingly well! It was great to be back, and for the convention to be back on the Stonybrook campus! I saw old friends, made new ones, and had an excellent time! My first panel was on Women in Gaming, and we had an excellent group of panelists as well as a bright …
Post-Lunacon Report
Lunacon went very well this year. I was a panelist for six different topics, and all of them were very engaging and informative. I met some amazing people, and I was able to catch up with some old friends. I have a few articles in the works after many interesting discussions led to a few …
Tentative Lunacon Schedule
As mentioned previously, I will be a guest at Lunacon this year! Here is my schedule as it presently stands: Fanfic That Dare Not Speak Its Name Friday 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM Literary classic + monsters = Bestseller? How did this formula, called crazy by any other name, suddenly become the Next Big Thing? …
