"It's dangerous to go alone! Take this." Loved it so much I ended up working for Nintendo as a gameplay counselor for a while. Still hard to believe that happened.

That one's a bit of a mixed bag. Despite the best intentions of all involved it's....not great.

If I sit down to watch TV or a movie my dog Milo instantly appears beside me to watch along. It’s pretty adorable.

It was 26 years ago, at the 2000 Chicago Worldcon, that I met with @craigengler.bsky.social and Brooks Peck and was offered a job editing the SCI FI Channel’s Science Fiction Weekly online magazine. I stayed there 13+ years. Thanks for the opportunity, guys! Seems like yesterday.
Selfie with Craig between Brooks and me. Brooks has on a dark green floral patterned shirt, Craig has on a light sweatshirt over a black T-shirt, and I’m in a plaid blue and pink collared shirt.

I've always wondered why everyone is so excited about bipedal robots when we can literally make them anyway we want. I want them to make creepy multi-limbed morphing shape robots. Well, as long as they're friendly.

I mean, me? Yeah, I would. But I totally get that it's offensive to people and sounds horrible and wouldn't blame anyone else for not wanting to do that. Though I'd guess if you're submitting to that festival you know what's up.

I hear what you're saying. At the same time, I would love to do this with one of my movies. I would be an enthusiastic participant even.
