I have a copy of her book, "French Milk," though frankly her work on her LiveJournal has been some of the best regular entertainment I've come to count on. That she's able to come ... http://www.damnedvulpine.com/?p=714 I wonder how many readers realize I borrowed the title of this and the previous post from an issue of "Transmetropolitan," where Spider Jerusalem does a travelogue of The City and all the crazy hobos who lives there (actually issue 41, February 2001, if you want to look it up.) ... http://www.damnedvulpine.com/?p=705 OK, that's a kick in the pants. Let's see if it makes everyone pissed off about Mike Capps and Tim Langdell finally calm the hell down for a little bit. http://www.damnedvulpine.com/?p=702 I have not, as some people might well think, been slacking off. It's not just the clutch of internal excuses and traps that Jay Smooth calls the little hater. It's not just that I have very little say to my dwindling local audience that I've largely turned my back on, most ... http://www.damnedvulpine.com/?p=697 I ran into Gordon Walton recently.

There's also a Facebook page for it. http://www.damnedvulpine.com/?p=692 Been field testing new equipment around Austin lately, so check me out. Latest update: Amy Sage and Mike Boyd of Fiesta Explosion, covering "Game of Love" by Santana. Taken with a Flip Ultra 30-minute model, uploaded with my MSI Wind U123. http://www.damnedvulpine.com/?p=691 Haven't seen this much news about square footage in a long time. So Vigil Games, owned by THQ, the latter flush with cash for selling one of their studios and firing 200-some people just four months ago, is going to move into a new 33,000-square-foot office space in Austin, in ... http://www.damnedvulpine.com/?p=690 Trion World Network announced their new mumorperger, in connection with E3. PR-speak cut out, they've got a nifty server architecture, the game will be class- and subclass-based but will employ a "unique class system that allows the players to play every character class in the game," there's no release time ... http://www.damnedvulpine.com/?p=689
