Richard, the uber-talented web designer who built this site, has just won two 2008 W3 Silver Awards for his work on behalf of little ol’ me: one in the category of Best Visual Appeal, and another in the Entertainment category.

Congratulations, Richard! I do believe I speak on behalf of the internet when I say that you rock, sir.

Because Bill Nighy could probably make anything entertaining. He’s just that good.

Certain — ahem — uncharitable souls have concluded that because I love clocks as much as I do, I have become a quisling to the human race. They look askance at me while I wait, patiently, for our clockwork servants to cast off their shackles, rise up, and become our masters.

“Oh, Ian,” they cry, “why do you yearn for that day when our steam-powered automata go berserk with the lust for freedom? And why must you labor to hasten its coming?”

Because, madam: the clockwork apocalypse will be beautiful.

Um, well, the title says it all. In my defense, I would point out that it’s been less than 2 full months since my last update. So, it could be worse.

But, in order to avoid having to face Glondoor in the Stone Circle of Death, I’ll try to do better. Honest. More posts in the near future. Really.

It’s August, and that means convention season. This month I’ll be attending Worldcon (aka Denvention 3) in Denver, CO, and Bubonicon (aka Bubonicon) in Albuquerque, NM.

Below the cut, I have posted my programming schedules for both cons.
