Nixie meets many famous authors and a bad agent
I spent the Thursday – > Sunday morning is Pasco, Washington. Thursday and Friday were all about talking to students at an event called the Cavalcade of Authors, and the rest of the convention was a lovely time with friends, and my dog.
On Thursday, I talked to Stevens middle school in Pasco. The school librarian [...]
I’ll be at Rustycon this Saturday
Places you can find me at Rustycon (Seattle Airport Marriott) this Saturday:
10:00, Moderating the panel, Palaces and Prisons? Urban Development in the 22nd Century in Evergreen I
Is technology accelerating the divide between rich and poor? Will it make sense to live closer together in high-density zones optimized for transit and pedestrians, or will ever-longer commutes [...]
Tonight’s Wayward Reading
I now have a new thing for tonight’s reading at the Wayward Coffee House (8:00 PM). For geeks, the Wayward is worth going to whether you’re there to hear me read or you want to drop in another time. It’s very geekly and the coffee and atmosphere are great.
So I already promised fiction set in [...]
Daybreak, Killer Bunnies, Wings, and Geeks
I leave tomorrow for the World Fantasy Convention in San Jose. I’ll be participating in a group reading on Friday night (in the Crystal room at 9:00 PM – Fairmont San Jose) for the exciting new web-based magazine called “Daybreak,” published by Jetse DeVries. Jetse is also bringing out the Shine Anthology. Shine and Daybreak [...]

We may have a new in place to be seen in Seattle. At the least, we have a new must-see conference, FiRe Global. Put together by Mark Anderson, FiRe Global has a clear mission: use technology to help save the world.
Mark has impressive strengths. For one, he thinks well. For years he has produced the [...]
Upcoming Event Schedule (Some Changes)
This post is partly for me so I can keep my dates in order. Well, not really. But it sure feels like a way-too-busy fall in the near future. It’s all good, but I might just collapse come December or so and hide.
FiRE Global Conference: October 15th Wherein I wear all three hats, and am [...]
Futurist Event: FiRE Global
Earlier this year, I attended the FiRE conference in San Diego. It felt like half an almost-typical technology conference (yes, there was a cloud computing session), half a “making the world a better place with technology” and in total, was the best three days I’ve ever spent on either topic. Largely, the value was in [...]

Getting ready for a week away
I get to go be a writer for a week. When you’re balancing hats like I am (CIO/writer/futurist), getting a bit of a break to be any one of them alone for a week is a fine and rare treat. I will be on the coast in Lincoln City, Oregon, with the dog, a pile [...]
When Reaching an Audience is Hard
I talked to the good folks at the National Association of Consumer Shows this morning in Memphis Tennessee. I walked away feeling as if I did a good job but not a great job. I did talk to quite a few of them individually and I enjoyed a nice barbecue lunch with a convention goer, [...]
