The New Blog Is Still a Little B0rken

If you spend any time on it, you’ll see where. But you’ll especially see where if you click through on any of the entries. And you’ll especially especially see where if you click through on any of the entries that have comments. Oh well. The new blogware is all in PHP, which I’ve never spent

War!

So my recent fascination with WWII has resulted in the site’s new appearance. Hopefully it’s offending all the pacifists out there because, clearly, I love war and consider it the answer to all of life’s problems. Especially alcoholism. I’m also planning a trip to the Solomon Islands — no joke — so I can go

I’m Not Very Good at YouTube, But Here’s My New Flat

Sorry for the lame, predictable commentary, but in case anyone wants to see where I live and you’re not going to later on ask for these ten minutes of your life back, you can check out my new place. BKD

The Departed Wasn’t a Very Good Movie

Not that it matters, but… If only life were as anxious to make good for past mistakes as is the Motion Picture Academy. I’m sure Martin Scorcese’s a fine person, but there were seriously much better movies available to choose from this year. The Departed, if you haven’t seen it, is mostly just an excuse

I Moved!

Moved to a new place. Still renting. The new place is on Lake Mission Viejo, which is pretty cool except that, as it turns out, sound travels across water. Right now some house across the lake is hosting P-Diddy’s comeback party and he’s doing a cover of “Twist and Shout”. So sad. Frankly, I can’t

Three Days in Austin and All I Got Was This Stupid Blog Post

Right, so WFC last weekend. Outside of feeling like work, it was a lot of fun. Finally got to have my 15 minutes with Kelly Link. It was more like an hour and a half. Here’s what I think she told me…: I write good details and the SFnal elements of my stories work very

Crass Social Norming on the Blog-o-Sphere

n my ever-broadening attempt to fit in with a group — yeah, here:1. FIRST NAME? Chronologically speaking, I figure my family name, “Dunn”, was determined before my given name, “Brian”. 2. ARE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? There have been other people in the world who were named “Brian” before I was. Had there not been,

Because, Yes, I AM That Full of Myself

I’ve launched my literary speculative fiction web zine at: TrabucoRoad.com It’s named after the street that I work on sort of. My job’s paying for this endeavor, so I figure I may as well give the street where the offices are located credit, because without that street, I wouldn’t have a job. Obviously. Except that

My Last Link to C06 Is Broken

I got my rear window fixed so, with that, it seems there’s no longer any evidence of my having been at C06. (Those photos? I could have just been airbrushed in — anyone with access to PhotoShop can do *that* easily enough.) More proof: I was at WorldCon yesterday and saw Nancy Kress on a

I Am an Unambitious Coward

The great thing about real-life work is that usually, if I have an idea, then take that idea to someone else to see if it sounds good to them, they usually say yes. Validation. It’s sweet. This is why I also submit short stories. To keep the validation in check. Found out today that I
