iPod - Woohoo!

We picked up an iPod mini the other day (Thursday to be exact). It is really cool! I did not realize how much I would like this. I have been able to copy all the MP3s that I have, with room to spare! Guess that means I can rip more of my CDs to MP3s. :-)

More convention photos

Ok, for those of you who would like to see more photos from WizardCon, here you go:
Cosplay.com Gallery

Those photos are at the gallery Lee Anne has at Cosplay.com. She has been busy at work uploading the majority of the pictures that we took at the convention. I think I remember her saying there is something like around 80 photos there?! Wow!

Well, I hope you enjoy them.

The Darth Side: Memoirs of a Monster

The Darth Side: Memoirs of a Monster

This is a really cool website! The author takes you inside the mind of Darth Vader throughout the Star Wars trilogy. There are several funny moments to it as well.

He had left a link where you can read it in chronological order. Also, there is a link to download the entire journal in PDF format.

WizardCon Philly 2005

Ok, I have just finished posting some pictures from the convention we went to over the weekend. Really cool thing! There was so much to see there. Really famous people, not so famous people, etc. There were tons and tons of comic books, so if that was all you were after, you were in heaven. Even then, there were plenty of other pieces of merchandise to be had (we made off with quite a bit!).

Well, I hope you enjoy the pictures! I may post a little info about each one as I see fit. Most of them speak for themselves, with a little assistance from the captions. ;-)


Enjoy!!

We liked the look of this wall.

There she is! Pretty as always!

We met Lara Croft!

Now this is a really cool one.

That's the true to life Kenny Baker (the guy inside R2D2 in all the movies) in the center of the photo!

A real life R2D2!!! He is radio controlled.

The guy in the red shirt is controlling him! He said this is the second R2 he has built, and it took him 2 1/2 years to do it!! Sounds like a long time, but look at the amazing results! :-)

Darth Vader! Always the comedian! 

Can't forget Boba Fett 

I think we've covered the bases here with the Emperial Troopers 

How many comic books did you want? 

Two really cool guys! (Geek in the middle)
This is one of the most impressive Darth Vader costumes that I have seen. Very authentic looking! And the Spidey costume was really cool too!

Doom R Us 

Jango Fett! 

No! don't shoot her!

Am I going to die?! 

Stormtooper! 

Blogging? What is that anyway?

Ok, I'll admit - I am new to blogging. Very new. In fact, this is my first blog ever. It's not that I have not heard of this word or idea before, I just have never taken the time to see what it is about. It's funny, because statistically I am in the age group that is fluent in this sort of thing. Well, better late than never, that's what I was always told.

The hard part about starting my first blog post is that I don't even have a topic for discussion. It's not that I don't have any ideas floating around in my head or anything, I'm just not sure what people would actually like to read.

Well, maybe I will just end the post here for now. I will probably figure out what to do with this blog sometime in the future. Will it be for new articles? Some kind of Diary? A discussion of ideas? Who knows!

I have some hand in the design, but my lovely and talented wife has been giving it a major overhaul! I have to say she has been doing an outstanding job!

Peace be with you!
