Sometimes my faith in humanity is suddenly restored. We’re currently seeing some films at the Fantasy Film Fest, and the three films we saw so far have all been surprisingly awesome. They also all share a common and incredibly important subject matter: standing up to the powers that be. As different as Black Dynamite (hilarious [...]

Calming down.
So, yes. A combination of seeing Black Dynamite at the Fantasy Film Fest and words of wisdom from Gregory Weir have helped me to feel a little better about the Wikipedia thing. The edit was made by an unregistered user who didn’t do anything else – perhaps the same person who once added a sentence [...]

Welcome to Ego-Bashing Day
No, not Ego Draconis. That continues to be fun, despite our encounter with a quest-killing bug. What we’re talking about is my ego. Okay, so the trailers I put up yesterday got zero response. That sucks, but at least I can tell myself that it’s because I’ve released them before, and readers of this website [...]

Honeymoon in Samana
Verena has written a very nice post about our honeymoon. If I ever find the time, I’ll also write one – more of a travel narrative of sorts – but that’ll have to wait a while. For now, read what my wife wrote. As always, her writing is excellent and funny and deserves to be [...]

I Have A Nightmare
Forty-six years ago today, Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech. It remains his most famous speech, and the most famous part of the March on Washington – or, as Malcolm X called it, the Farce on Washington. “I Have A Dream” is the cliché that people immediately remember when [...]

Back in Germany.
After a very, very long trip of about 17 hours (5 hours on the bus, 3 at the airport, 9 in the plane) we are back in Germany. Updates will resume tomorrow. Much cool stuff awaits you.

Update
As Verena wrote: Lots of very cool things to post, but no way of posting them, since the USB stick has gone the way of all earthly things. Expect more on Wednesday. Also, both the computers and the connection here are utter and total crap: slow, half-broken, virus-infested crap. I can’t believe I’m looking forward to Germany, [...]

Humidity: 100%
Greece, which is where I grew up, gets a hell of a lot hotter than the Dominican Republic – mainly because it’s so much like a desert. But there is one profound difference which really makes Greece a lot more pleasant in terms of the weather: when you go to the shade, the temperature actually [...]
