There is good news on many a front. In Spain, the Dork Tower website en Espanol is up and running. There’s also a sidebar interview with me, with some really interesting questions from Spanish gamers. I’ll try and post that in English on Monday. ***** Also from Spain, La Factoria De Ideas/Distrimagen will be switching […]

I interviewed James Doohan once, when I was a writer for the Wisconsin State Journal, and it was a delight. Absolutely one of my favorite interviews of all time. Right up there with Andy Partridge, of XTC, Billy Bragg and Dave Sim. Much of the phoner was devoted to things I’d never known about Mr. […]

Once more, FTP problems are keeping new cartoons from being posted. I apologize for this, and am trying my darndest to find out what the problem is. As soon as the host lets ME know, I’ll let you know. ***** Dork Tower #31 and Dr. Blink #2 are in some stores now. They should be […]

Did I promise “More on Snopes”? OK. Here we go. I briefly made it into Snopes.com. Now, before I say anything, I do like Snopes a great deal. That and the alt.folklore.legends page are must-reads for anybody, before they forward another bogus (and they mostly all are) “you’ll never believe this really happened” message to, […]

Absolutely great to have discovered that Chris Pramas, one of my favorite people, like, EVAR, is now on LJ, at freeport_pirate. Also, he put this meme in my mind. List 5 of your current favorite songs (no order), and then tag 6 of your LJ friends to do the same. Now, tagging 6 LJ pals […]

I haven’t been able to get onto the ftp site that is kind enough to host Dork Tower online for a couple of days, now. E-mails asking if there’s a problem haven’t been replied to. Meaning there probably IS a problem. New cartoons are done and ready to run, here. More “Gilly in London” ones, […]

I had some good news to post, but today isn’t the day for it. Scott Haring is perhaps the single individual most responsible for my entry into the gaming industry. A long time ago, he produced a magazine called The Gamer. I met him at GenCon, and liked the magazine. A lot. Being a writer […]

I’m back in Madison, now. I was in London, at my sister’s place, for the last couple of weeks, getting Massive Amounts of Work Done. I saw some friends, but didn’t tell most I was even there, for which I am sorry. My excuse: this trip was about getting, as I noted, Massive Amounts of […]

I’m being a bit quiet on the blog these days, if only because the Perfect Storm of Deadlines continues. Dork Tower #31, Dr. Blink #2, “The Collected Dork Tower #8 Go, Dork, Go!” and the reprints (with corrections and updates) of “Dork Covenant” (TCDT #1, fifth printing) and “Understanding Gamers” (TCDT #5, second printing) are […]

I am hunkered down, cranking out the work until my little fingers bleed. The “Michael Feldman’s Whad’ya Know” crew, in the meantime, is on the 20th anniversary bus tour: Michaelpalooza. Tour stops include: Scenic Roanoke, VA – Saturday, June 18, 2005. Tickets on sale from the Civic Center Ticket Office, 1-888-397-3100 or online. Scenic Harrisburg, […]
