Everybody knows that print media is in trouble, but Bruce Sterling thinks blogging is dead too. He said so on his blog. (Oh, the irony!)
For some uses, better tools have become available. People who blogged to keep up with their friends are turning to Twitter and Facebook. Social microblogging will only become more popular when [...]
Space Ninja!
This time around, I made MPD proud. I saw almost zero Anime, except for watching the cool bits of the Naruto Shippuden Movie, compliments of Otakumag.
After browsing around a bit, I met Adeeb. He runs the (secret) branch of Outer Limits in Cape Town. At great danger and expense, I got you, the faithful [...]

If you are attending, you might not recognize me. I’ve lost [...]

I look forward to this convention every year. Apart from the usual roleplaying, card gaming, comics and anime screenings, this year the Medieval Armed Combat Society is giving a demonstration of medieval combat.
ICON 2007 will take place from 13 to 15 July at the Jabula Community Centre in Sandringham. Check Roleplaying South Africa for [...]
