The Roan Highlands is a stretch of the Appalachian Mountains in Tennessee, and it’s famous for having some of the beautiful mountain meadows in all of Appalachia. It’s also famous for its wildflowers, particularly the rhododendrons, which bloom in June… right when we happened to be visiting. So with that in mind, I enthusiastically packed [...]

ConCarolinas ReCap
Posted in Travel, Writing, tagged ConCarolinas, Cons, Geek, Photos, Road Trip on June 7, 2010 | 1 Comment »
On Saturday I drove to Charlotte to check out ConCarolinas. Several notable authors were there, including Jerry Pournelle and John Ringo, and I also wanted a chance to try out my birthday present to myself, a Canon Rebel T1i DSLR Camera. If I want to submit any travel writing to magazines or websites that might [...]
Tidbit of the Day: Mountain Streams Are Still Cold in April
Posted in Travel, tagged Backpacking, Mountains, Photos on April 14, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Last weekend a group of us headed down to Caesar Head State Park in South Carolina. It’s a beautiful area, with lots of creeks and streams that course and burble their way through lush, picturesque valleys and forests. And because it’s on the eastern edge of the Appalachian Mountains, there are plenty of waterfalls as [...]
Getting my Feet Wet
Posted in Travel, tagged Backpacking, Camping, Ocean, Photos on January 30, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Two weeks ago I dusted off my backpacking gear, which has sat unused for over a year, and went backpacking on Shackleford Banks, a little island on the southern edge of North Carolina’s Outer Banks. It’s only about nine miles long by half a mile wide (if that), but it’s a cool little island. Among [...]
Fun With Unused Vacation Time
Posted in Life, Travel, Writing, tagged NaNoWriMo, Ocean, Photos, Road Trip on December 28, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I hope everyone had/is having a good Christmas Break. If you’re in the latter category, I fart in your general direction. Actually… I can’t complain. Despite my Australia trip earlier this year, I had a lot of vacation time leftover at work, so I took the entire week of Christmas off. I’m just bitter today; [...]
Halloween!
Posted in Life, tagged Halloween, Neil Gaiman, Photos, random on November 1, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Because I’m a total geek, and also because it was an easy costume, for Halloween I went as my favorite author: Anyone got it? Anyone? …. Okay, it’s Neil Gaiman. The most amusing incorrect guesses were “John Travolta” and “The Fonz.” (In their defense, particularly the guy who guessed The Fonz, it was a very [...]

I uploaded another batch of pictures to Flickr (link) and upgraded my account, first so that could I upload more, and second so that people could actually access the larger versions (2816×2112 makes the scenic vistas look quite nice, if I do say so myself). Hope you like ‘em!
Australia Photos!
Posted in Travel, tagged Australia, Photos on September 29, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Okay, I’m gonna be lazy for the time being, and rather than insert a lot of photos into existing blog posts, I’ve posted them to my Flickr site. You can view them by clicking here. If you follow that link (as opposed to clicking the Photos feed on the right-hand sidebar), the photos are sorted [...]
Dragon*Con Report

I got back on Monday evening from my first Dragon*Con, and it was quite a weekend. In order to see and do everything, you’d need to be able to be in… oh, I’d say 30 places at once. Saturday I was at the con from 8 am to past midnight, Sunday I was there from [...]
