LAST WEEK

Last week was the pre-launch of SuperFogeys.com. In case you missed it, on each weekday I posted new SF material (the two regular installments of the newest chapter and 3 preview pages from "Cellmates," the exclusive-to-print bonus story found only in third SuperFogeys collection) and broke down the features of the new site. Check it out at the link a few sentences back.

Talkin' and Podcastin'

Last Friday I linked you to my latest Gigcast interview which can still be found here. Also last week, I recorded an interview with the guys over at Comics Coast to Coast. We talked about a lot of different things, including SF, my all-time favorite movie and…religion? Uh oh.

I think it's gonna be another week before that one goes live, so stay tuned.

The Emmys

Did you see that train wreck? Wow. I was so, so uncomfortable any time the hosts–five of them pulled from their respective reality shows–were onscreen. I'd have almost thought it was a bit for that sort of awkward comedy that's so terribly funny and in vogue right now if Ricky Gervais hadn't gotten up to present an award and show them how it's done.

I was glad to see Mad Men, 30 Rock and John Adams pick up so many awards. Those are three of the four best things I saw on television this past year and it was good to see quality get recognized. Unfortunately, Michael Emerson lost for LOST. I suppose that was a bit of symmetry that couldn't be avoided.

But you know who stole the show for me? Josh Groban. I'm no fan of the man's music, but I howled during his performance of 40-60 TV show themes. Classic.

Tomorrow

Extra update for you tomorrow, a collaboration between my wife and I. It was a bit of a lark that turned into something special. Kind of like SF itself. Don't miss it.
