Hi! I'm a tech guy, skeptic, feminist, gamer and atheist, and love OSS and science of all stripes. I enjoy a good bit of whargarbl now and again, and will occasionally even seek it out. I am also apparently responsible for the death of common sense on the internet. My bad.
I have opinions. So do you. You want to share them with me. I would like to do likewise. Please don't expect a platform for proselytizing that will go unchecked and unchallenged, though. Contact me via the clicky thingies under my banner.
The commenting rules are simple: don't piss me off. This rule has worked for me for a decade; I have never found a need for any other rule, because any other rules leads to rules-lawyering. Just remember --
this is my property, not yours.
I’m getting dizzy just from the picture.
And I thought the “Orange” seats at the old Buffalo Auditorium were steep!
How was it? Did you enjoy it?
Was meaning to blog my impressions but the last several days have been ridiculously full. Prepwork for Geek Girl Con DIY Science Zone, for instance. Catching up on work stuff. Laundry. Ugh, adulting.
It was fantastic. But the real sell for me was the fact that it was an entire auditorium full of a fandom that was just, well, happy. Not gatekeeper-y, not sneering, not annoyed that 40% of the audience was girls. Just, happy. Excited. Cheering at the recognizeable themes. Cheering for the Sheik reveal in the OoT medley video. It was lovely to absorb that much positivity in one place, and it makes me wonder how so they managed it when many other fandoms go so very sour.
Getting the birds eye view! Sounds great!
PS. Off topic sorry but could you help here please? For some reason I can’t seem to comment on – or even see comments on – Maryam Namazie’s blog just getting a “Blog token not found” message instead. Any idea what’s happening and could it be fixed please? (Filled out a tech help thing a few days ago too.)
When we took our Big Family Trip to Canada, my son’s biggest joy was in the number of Street Passes he accumulated in the tourist section of Ottawa (well, that and holding the brick of gold at the mint). 😀
Looks like you’re having a great time!
StevoR: it looks as though she may have turned on Disqus on her blog (intentionally or otherwise). I’ll let the appropriate parties know.
@ ^ Okay thanks.
Still having the exact same issue there. 🙁
