Found at Voodoo Doughnut in Portland, OR.

Unfortunately I didn't have time to play a few rounds, as much as I would have liked to.

Not the Case costume I've been meaning to show off, but I did like the circumstances behind this shot.

Thanks, Memetictees, for the awesome t-shirt.

I'm in the field again on assignment, this time well south of the Mason-Dixon line. Far enough south, in fact, that people actually have accents, and truck stops are the primary means of acquiring what one needs to live, such as food, fuel, and automobile parts. It seems that my cow-orker and I didn't get the luck of the draw when it came to the hotel this time. We're staying in hotel that specializes in hosting conventions and conferences near the beach, but doesn't specialize in actually putting people up for the night. On the whole, it's not such a …

You know, I really should be writing real content for my website right about now. Until then, here's the latest revision of my .plan file (run! hide!), and my photographs from the William Gibson book signing on 18 August 2007 at the Border's at Bailey's Crossroads, Virginia.

A heads-up from Lowmagnet brought a slim ray of sunshine to an otherwise unpleasant day: The novel Pattern Recognition by William Gibson is being made into a movie as of late 2006. Make of this what you will, it's listed in IMDB as being in active development, which could mean pretty much anything given how Hollywood works, but They've taken to Gibson's less popular stories (like New Rose Hotel), so there's an excellent chance that this movie will actually wind up being made (though probably not get a theatrical release).

There's a new Gibson novel coming out soon, called Spook Country. The corrected proofs were handed in last week, so the exact publication date is anyone's guess at this moment.
