DENVER — SOMETIMES life really does imitate art.

As the Democratic National Convention was kicking off, actor Richard Schiff, who played the White House communications director on “West Wing,” was holding court with a pack of reporters on a concrete version of a red carpet outside of a restaurant here.

The Emmy Award-winning actor was completely at ease talking about real-life politics and his favorite politician, Sen. Joe Biden.

Reading through Jared’s DarkPages makes me want to run my old Champions game.

There’s even a mechanic to break characters and remove them from play.

Thank you, Jared.

Sold 100 copies of a $45 book.

Got invited to Burning Man by a friend.

Got invited to go to England as a special guest at a convention.

Got invited to go to Finland as a special guest at a convention.

Got told my first novel was the best novel someone ever read (twice) by someones who have a lot of literary expertise and friends who are literary agents.

Talked smack about Gary Gygax during his moment of silence on Saturday while high on prescription back pain medicine after I threw out my back on Friday night.

Got to hang out with a bunch of wonderful people I only see once a year 

ate good food

Picked up a bunch of great games

Heard people say WONDERFUL things about my own games (including the new one–holy shit, they were playing it the day they bought it!)

Heard the phrase, “If you published this game in the ’90s, I woudln’t be playing Vampire” more than once.

Have HUGE plans for next year

(more later–with pictures and CHW Bear!)

While Christians all across the world wait for Jesus’ return–and the End of the World–it looks like Science may do it first.

“Officials at CERN, the European Center for Nuclear Research, outside Geneva, announced Thursday that their new particle accelerator, the world’s largest, would begin operation on Sept. 10. On that date, the physicists and engineers will make the first attempt to circulate a beam of protons around a 17-mile-long super-cooled underground racetrack known as the Large Hadron Collider.”

They are going to recreate conditions that first occurred at the beginning of the universe… and may take out the universe with it. So, go hug your loved ones and say goodbye–just in case.

Science is gonna blow up the universe. Jesus better get a move on.

Goddamn, Science is sexy.

It’s NASA’s 50th Anniversary. In celebration, here are fifty ways NASA has made our lives better.

(Give this list to the next person who says space exploration doesn’t help human lives.) 

You were my first TV crush and you’ll always be my favorite. And although I always scoff when other people say similar things, it’s true when I say that, in my world, nobody will ever be a better Wonder Woman than you.

So, here’s a little tribute to Lynda Carter on her birthday as sung by the King Hisself.

Go to Colbert’s Website and watch the whole episode.

“One of us!”
“One of us!”
“One of us!”

It’s the 101st anniversary of the birth of the Dean of Science Fiction.

Go read Time Enough for Love. (You’ve got 30 minutes… GO!)

Thought some of the folks on my friends list might appreciate this. Zombie shooting targets!
