Wednesday, December 12th, 2007I once told a coworker I read comics. She gave me a funny look and said “But you don’t live in your mom’s basement.”
Things took a stranger turn a month later, when someone I’d never met called me at work and said they had a box of comics I’d love. He dropped the box off [...]
Enough Tech! How ‘Bout Writin’?
Monday, December 10th, 2007I’ve been blogging just about everything but my writing the last few weeks, so it’s high time I at least mentioned it before people start to forget that’s what I really want to do in the first place. Here’s a status report on several projects:
I’ve been thinking The Malice Engine may see life as a [...]
Help a Brother Out
Thursday, December 6th, 2007I just learned that Steve Bryant, the creator of Athena Voltaire, is currently facing some personal hardships. Steve’s one of those guys who works his ass off and deserves some exposure for his book. Rather than trolling for donations, I’m going to give a strong buy recommendation to his book.
If you like pulp stories and/or [...]
More Advice for Dads
Wednesday, October 24th, 2007In Shuri-ryu’s version of the Wansu kata, there are three points where the karateka delivers a backfist punch to the opponent’s groin. Specifically, the sequence is a block, a punch, a simultaneous block and punch, followed by said backfist. I like to break down my kata and apply a memory aid to make it easier [...]
Three Day Weekend
Saturday, September 1st, 2007I’ve got a three day weekend and I don’t wanna know nothin’.
I don’t care that Kevin Bacon’s new flick Death Sentence sucks ass. I don’t care about David Beckham’s knee. I don’t care whether or not Tony Snow may have cancer. There’s no pro football this weekend, I haven’t watched the races lately, and I’m [...]
TGIF
Friday, August 24th, 2007It’s been a long couple of weeks since Wizard World, as you can probably tell by lack of posts. I work for a school district, which makes this the busiest time of year for me. Taking five days off just a couple weeks before didn’t do me any favors, but one trip couldn’t be avoided [...]
Wizard World
Thursday, June 28th, 2007I just submitted my paperwork for the Wizard World Chicago comic convention coming up in a little over a month. There’s been a lot of talk about how big or small this year’s con is going to be and how it may be hobbled by competition with the San Diego Comic Con (which I would [...]
Free Comic Book Day

Cape Comic Con
Saturday, April 28th, 2007Signing My Life Away
Originally uploaded by MikeOliveri.
It’s been a week, but this is the first chance I’ve had to upload the few pics I took from last week’s Cape Girardeau Comic Con and post my thoughts.
It was a small show, with the dealer’s room filling a gymnasium, but traffic was steady and the people there [...]
Cape Girardeau Con Relocated
Thursday, March 22nd, 2007The Cape Girardeau Comic Con has moved down the street to the Student Rec Center South at 926 Broadway. If you were planning on being there, note the new location! It’s still on April 21st & 22nd, and I will still be bringing plenty of comics.
