The Occasional Blargh

Truth in Advertising

This is probably a minor idiocy given the meteoric fall from grace that befell Cartoon Network over the past three years, but could someone tell me why I'm watching a Pink Panther cartoon on a show called "Late Night Black and White"?

Small Press Expo Swag

Today, I went to the Small Press Expo held in Bethesda, Maryland. In fact, it was hosted at the North Bethesda Marriott, just a block from the White Flint Metrorail station. I'm just posting a list of swag I picked up from there. I may probably do this for the Baltimore Comic Con to which I went to last month, if I find my bag from that. Both cases, I neglected to take my camera to record the event. Coincidently, I saw a few people who had tables at both events.

Birthday Countdown. . .

I find it serendipitous that the OS that I'm using more and more of has an upgrade that comes out on my birthday.
