My Niece Laura is a graphic designer. She has created a game, and could use feedback:
I have a 5% off discount coupon for Target online. I have enough coupons for in person shopping at target not to need the on-line one. So the first person to email me at my profile addy will get the discount code. (Note, I may not check email until tomorrow afternoon, but the earliest timestamp in my email gets it.) Probably not worth it unless you were going to shop at Target anyway.
[Edit] And JonB has it.
So I posted a pretty personal essay about competence, voice, and speaking up. I'm putting the link up everywhere so that I can't chicken out and take it down.
There's a Craiglist ad up for my sister's bed, if anyone in the area is interested. It's a nice bed, that I can promise. For me, there are too many associations, plus our room isn't big enough for it. It's a big bed.
Won't mean much to most of you, but for baseball fans and former San Diegans among you, Tony Gwynn has passed away. Only 54 years old. Fuck cancer.
Much of San Diego will be in some degree of mourning.
I'm performing/running a series of interviews on a Gawker sub-blog on how fandom affects people who aren't necessarily your run of the mill fan. My first subject, appropriately enough, is CFerg. His will probably run in 4-6 instalments, and here is the first one. They will all be tagged with meta fandom interviews to see everything done to date at any time.
Oh, I know b.org may (already has) come up in some of them, but I'm just calling it a "fandom oriented site" and leaving it at that.
I hope to include representation from writers, actors, "BN"Fs, directors/showrunners, and Kristin just suggested an entertainment blogger, so if there's anyone you know who might be appropriate (I'd love to get my hands on a PA), holla in Natter.
Thanks for your time/interest.
