Grand Strand Blogger Meetup
In the spirit of ongoing attempts to crystallize a blogger community here in the Grand Strand, I’m organizing a get together. If you are a blogger, podcaster, videoblogger or interested in any of the above, come and hang out with us. Here are the specifics:
Sunday June 17th at 3 PM, Bummz at 2003 N. Ocean [...]
Spoleto Podcasts
A few years ago, Dan Conover floated the idea of me coming down to Charleston and doing some podcasts from Spoleto. It was an interesting idea, but at the time would have required me not working my consulting gig for a few days to do a job without pay and that just didn’t fly. The [...]

It’s been a big weekend for the Coastal Carolina University baseball team. First, they won the Big South title and got the automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. That wasn’t so essential, as they were virtually a lock to make it regardless. Depending on the poll, they rank between 7th and 17th in the nation. [...]
Big Weekend
We had a fun day Saturday marrying off our friend Zane. My wife and I each know him independently, her from middle school and me from being his fraternity brother at Georgia Tech. We originally had more ambitious plans for Saturday, which changed to getting coffee at Caribou, showering, and having a quick [...]
McNally’s
The plan last night had been for after the rehearsal dinner for the groom to meet up with his friends at McNally’ Pub in Elmhurst. My buddy Coop lives right near there, so we had dinner there and met up with him before the wedding party arrived. Mmmm, bangers and mash! I’d never been in [...]
Lesbian Characters You Should Know
Here’s a list of 13 lesbian and bisexual fictional characters worth reading about from After Ellen. What is significant to me is that my friend Nicola made the list with her character Aud Torvingen. New book! I went to the Myrtle Beach B&N to buy it for this present trip and they didn’t have it. [...]
Spread It Out
Doc Searls points out a phenomenon I notice a lot and that always irks me. It’s sites that lay out their articles such that a simple one spans multiple pages. Those intolerable and endless “Top X Moments in Y History” crap, the 1500 word newspaper article split into 5 300 word pages. It’s pretty baldfaced [...]
Fun For the Weekend
We’re here in Chicagoland (Bensenville, specifically) for a wedding. In the year we lived up here, I had never visited this part of the city. It seems very well-groomed and suburban right here, in a hotel right by the golf course where the reception will be held. We’ve already ran into the groom in the [...]
Andrew Keen, Welcome to the Outrage Farm
I’ve been hearing a little about Andrew Keen’s new book that basically tells all of us in citizen media that we suck. Apparently Keen’s Big Message is that blogs are irrelevant and books, TV and newspaper are important. He published a book to that effect and also has, ummmm, ironically enough, a blog with the [...]
Uncle Warren on the Day Job
I forgot to blog this last month, but I listened a podcast that was directly responding to a lot of my recent discussion about day jobs and such. Warren Bluhm kindly cited me as a component in his recent coming to peace with having a day job and a separate creative life. That makes me [...]
Orycon Interview Table of Contents
Just as a convenience for the Portland SF fans, I thought I’d prepare this summary article for the Orycon Interview shows. As I publish new shows, I’ll keep this post updated with fresh pointers. All the skiffy interview goodness you could want in one place!
Orycon Interviews Part One
Orycon Interviews Part Two
Orycon Interviews Part Three
Achewood Gets All Heavy On Us
Today’s Achewood comic strip not only wraps up the current arc, but in the last few panels gets philosphical about the nature of happiness. Since that’s a topic high in my thoughts lately, I thought I point out the money shots. I think everything in the entire Achewood run up to today is [...]
J on Money and Your Creative Work
J Wynia is someone with whom I have a constructive blog/podcast crosstalk. His most recent post on using your earnings from creative work to fund retirement is spot on with what I’ve been thinking lately. He also is exactly correct on my motivations for keeping things the way they are with the podcast as a [...]
EGC Clambake for May 20, 2007 - “Orycon Interviews Part Three”
Here is the Bittorrent link and direct MP3 download for the EGC clambake for May 20, 2007.
This is the third of the Orycon episodes. I play music from Tom Smith and have interviews with Debbie Cross, Jerry and Kathy Oltion, and representatives from Rose City Costumers, Camarilla, and Ansalon MUD.
You can subscribe to this podcast [...]
Old Bones Creak Hard
Yesterday was a surprisingly big day for me. After dropping my wife at the airport at the wonderful time of 5 AM, I came home and tried to go back to sleep. That didn’t work, so I played poker for a while and did some audio editing for upcoming interview podcasts. In the early afternoon, [...]
How Jonathan Coulton Did It
Jonathan Coulton has a long post relating the case study of how he became an internet buzzworthy artist with an income. He very kindly name checks me in it. I’m pretty sure the timetable is slightly different, in that I played his “Dance Soterios Johnson Dance” in an EGC episode the day after I found [...]
La Cage Aux Folles
Last night we went to see the local Theatre of the Republic’s production of La Cage Aux Folles. I’ve been impressed by the ambition of both TOR and the Coastal Carolina theater department lately. They are not shying away from lavish productions or controversial material. You’d think this area would lean towards the stodgy, but [...]
Take That, Chapman!

CC isn’t the only one with photos of fans listening to his show, and not even the only one with a Myrtle Beach connection. Here is a photo from a dude who will be in town over the weekend. Cool, no? [...]
Falwell Fallen
Jerry Falwell died today. There is only one possible interpretation of this event - God is so upset with the homosexuals and the ACLU that he killed Falwell. Falwell himself taught us that all disasters are evidence that his political enemies have angered God, and that God will take that anger out on innocents. Now [...]
My Friends Write Books
Two of my best friends in the world are a couple, both are writers and both of them have brand new books out now or very soon. Kelley Eskridge has her story collection Dangerous Space out shortly from Aqueduct Press. It’s not too soon to put in your order. Her debut novel Solitaire was one [...]
