July 29, 2019: An impromptu visit!

I flew into Montreal last night to help assist with a family medical issue.  Following a day of tests and hospital consultations, things look good, so I'm booking a flight back to Toronto for Friday morning.  Until then, I'll be enjoying, family, food, and those revisions I need to get started on. Mom last night.…

July 27, 2019: Landing on Stargate!

Today is, apparently, the 22nd of Stargate: SG-1.  Hard to believe - 22 years since the show premiered, and about 19 years since my then writing partner and I were offered the opportunity to pitch for the series as the production was looking to expand its writers' room for the show's fourth season.  At the…

July 26, 2019: Friday Foofarah!

Hmmm.  Since yesterday's post about my wordpress issues, my photos have been appearing sideways in my blog entries.  Coincidence?  Probably...? Also, since making the move, my photos are no longer clickable, giving the choice of posting images that are either slightly too small or slightly too large.  ie... Akemi in her natural element - amongst…

July 25, 2019: The waiting is the hardest part!

People (Generally, those not in the industry) react with amazement when they find out I'm juggling multiple development projects.  I'm sure they imagine me working 24/7, going from one project to the next, with little room for rest.  Sadly, however, this couldn't be further from the truth.  Much of "development" is waiting. Waiting for someone…

June 23, 2019: WordPress letdown!

If you're considering upgrading from wordpress.com to wordpress.org - DON'T DO IT!  This blog has been one endless headache for me since I made the switch last year.  It's been one issue after another - the latest being the discovery that whenever I try to click on the photos on my old blog entries from…

July 20, 2019: Thank God for Excruciatingly slow airplane internet!

Instead of streaming this entire director's cut in one go, the intermittent drop-outs (every minute and a half or so) allow me to switch over and update my blog. So - SDCC2019 was a success.  Sure, there were some minor hiccups.  Like the 90 minute delay in our flight in.  The one hour delay in…

July 19, 2019: The SDCC Wrap-Up!

It's been a whirlwind three days marked by large crowds, lots of walking, plenty of meetings, way too much eatings, a few purchases, and some a couple of truly standout cosplays.  The fun debrief will have to wait but, for now, let these pictures...uh...paint a picture... They are Groot! Mysterio! Sue Storm and the Silver…
