I'm baaa-aackk..

Computer went thud for a day or two, so no updating for me. Back now. Yay!

kshandra continues to prep for Burning Man. I know she loves it, but it's driving me nuts. My urge to take over and do a load plan for her is nigh-overwhelming.

GURPS is here! WOW Very high-quality book, hardback, full-color art, well-written and edited, and they've made the system truly universal now. As I read through the characters section, I came up with weird ideas and looked to see how I could do them. Each time, I had an good grip on the mechanics within five minutes.

Heading to work in a bit.

Oh, for some reason the "fix" of the computer ate my LJ client. It opens, but vanishes into the ether. Must see if Kiri can figure out that one.

Burned, man

[grimmwire.livejournal.com]

Ah, Burning Man. Have wanted to go for about a decade now. Some friends of mine drove all the way from Montreal and made a film about it, called Black Rock Burning (http://www.blackrockburning.com). Very cool.

Unfortunately Burning Man collides temporally with Worldcon, and I'll be in Boston for that. Maybe next year, if I have the dough. Gah, there's a choice: Glasgow for Worldcon, or Burning Man...?

Must be off to the secret laboratory to work on my cloning machine...

Heh. I managed, somehow, to convince dafydd to give up the Burn for ConJose.

Well, sort of.

He went out to the desert two days before the event started (he's with Emergency Services, so there's always stuff to do), and came home the day before ConJose.

I'd love to be able to go to WorldCon more often. But the advantage of Burning Man is that it doesn't change location every year, and the present location is one I can drive to in eight hours....
