I have been informed by Tim Lynch that he has been absent from here recently since he has been wholly involved with the arrival of his daughter this past Friday at 5:49 PM, weighing in at 6 lbs 11 ounces and measuring 19.5 inches.
And I’m pleased to announce that, in a show of solidarity, the child has been named “Fallen Angel Lynch.”

Peterdavid.net frequenter Tom Galloway is gonna be doing “Win Tom Galloway’s Money, modelled after Comedy Central’s Win Ben
Stein’s Money,” at the World Science Fiction Convention (Noreascon), on Thursday September 3rd at 10:00 p.m. Other board regular and second-coming of me, Keith DeCandido, is going to be the Jimmy Kimmel sidekick. Tom was looking for possible categories that would be punned riffs off some aspect of sf, fantasy, or comics, such as authors, artists, actors, characters, or editors in the fields, titles of books, movies, tv shows, comics, etc,or general concepts such as robots, spaceships, mythical creatures,etc.
Below are the categories I suggested. If you bright guys have any others, feel free to suggest them.

Ages ago, around the time of U-Decide, Glenn pointed out to me that Bill Jemas had, shockingly, not locked up www.billjemas.com. “Ohhh, Glenn, get it for me, would’ja?” I asked. And Glenn did. And after having some giggles at Bill’s expense, I publicly stated that if he wanted to take it off our hands, we wouldn’t cybersquat on it. Never heard from him.
Until recently.
So just to let you guys know, with any luck www.billjemas.com will be undergoing new management and will be the launchpoint for…well, for whatever Bill Jemas is going to do next.

…so you can go check it out there ’cause I’m not going to reprint the entirety of someone’s blog entry since–y’know–one really shouldn’t do that.
And fortunately enough, I don’t feel like I’m in a pìššìņg match with Brian, because ultimately we’re after the same thing: To sell comics. But he makes a couple of points worth addressing specifically…

Brian Hibbs is one of the smartest retailers in the industry, if not THE smartest. So when Brian speaks, attention should be paid.
In the latest installment of his
…a comics related website where they’ve set up a nice page for me and everything…guys…I’m just about ready to give up. Lately, every time–EVERY time–I try to read or participate, I get slammed with “The Server is too busy. Try again later.” Entire posts of mine have been blown into oblivion by that message. I dunno what goes on there, but it would be nice if somebody fixed it.

We live in confusing times from a sexual preference point of view. I mean, here you’ve got the Governor of NJ who’s been married twice and has two daughters…and then comes to the conclusion he’s gay. Which worried me because, hey, I’m twice married and I’ve got four daughters, so maybe I’m twice as gay and just don’t know it.
Well, thanks to the Olympics, I’ve discovered something that has proven to me, conclusively, where my preferences lie.
Women’s Beach Volleyball.
I could watch that for hours. I dunno what the hëll this thing is doing in the Olympics, and I absolutely couldn’t care less. Although when you think about it, and how scantily clad the participants are, it comes the closest to the original spirit of the Olympics considering that the participants used to compete in the nude.
Hunh. I wonder what the ratings would be like if they reinstituted that rule.
