It’s Judith and my tenth wedding anniversary today. Ta-rant, ta-rah. So we’re in Paris. Where we spent our honeymooon. Ten years ago. Just popping up for air. And to say sorry for not posting more in the last week or so. My French is as bad as ever. But I’m less self-conscious about it now. […]

Two days of all-day Out of the Box meetings have kind of drained me. There’s lots of cool, fun stuff on the way. But for the moment, I’m exhausted. Unfortunately, I’ve also got a ton of work to do. Plus, I’ve got something Very Big coming up next week. Much needs to get done before […]

If it hasn’t already been, this oughta be FARKed: Briton held as terror suspect over punk song Lyric from Clash anthem ‘London Calling’ raised suspicions of taxi driver. LONDON – British anti-terrorism detectives escorted a man from a plane after a taxi driver had earlier become suspicious when he started singing along to a track […]

I ran today’s cartoon early (last Saturday, to be precise) to hit April 1. Like last year’s April 1 “Dork Mirror” series, this one will run every day this week. Many thanks to the irrepressible Jape, for yet another great mirror universe series. It rocks. **** Full reports on all five movies I saw at […]

OK…the annual April Fool’s “Dork Mirror” series has started again. Yay! PLUS, more April Fool Dorky goodness HERE **** 2:30 pm today. Cineplexity. World Premier. At the State Street Steep & Brew. Not sure how many people will show up. Nor who will show up. Apparently there’s a chance a Big Name ™ might make […]

I’m furiously getting stuff finished off for the big Cineplexity world premier, this Saturday at 2:30 pm, at the Wisconsin Film Festival. In the meantime, given the subject matter, here’s another film that’ll be showing I thought might be of interest. MUSKRAT LOVELY (plays with Ferry Tales ) USA, 2005, 58 min, Color, digibeta Midwest […]

New cartoons start up again Monday. Honest. Plus, another cool April Fool’s week is instore, for those of you who remember last year’s storyline. **** In the mean time… So I’m trying to limit myself to no more than one or two non-Out of the Box or Munchkin gaming gigs per year, now. Here’s news […]

Awake now, after a redeye flight back from Las Vegas to Madison. Much work to do. But – YAY – new cartoons start on the web site tomorrow! For anyone going to Vegas, let me highly recommend the following (or at least two of the three, since one will soon no longer be there), if […]

Hey, gang, I received this e-mail from Scott “Igor” Olman yesterday, regarding the posting of info on his wedding to Dawn. John, I’m so shocked! the responses has been overwhelming, and Dawn could not believe it. I will be spending a lot of time sending thank you’s to all these people. But everyone who bought […]

I have much good news to report. All that can wait, however, because there’s some really great news to report. Scott Olman is one of my very favorite people in the entire world. As some of you may know, he is the friend that Igor is loosely based upon. (I say loosely, because if I […]
