ComicFest is over, and a good time was had by all. About 1200 attendees including some of the founders of ComicCon, one of who assured me that my ComicCon Gold Card is still valid and they’d love to have me show up next year. Perhaps I will do that. It sounds strenuous, but it could be great fun. Meanwhyile it was great to have dinner with Greg Bear and Astrid Anderson Bear, and their son Eric whom I haven’t seen in a while. For some odd reason he wants to be a writer…

The shutdown as politics continues:

‘The determination of which services continue during an appropriations lapse is not affected by whether the costs of shutdown exceed the costs of maintaining services.’

Actually I know nothing about this source, so I do not say it is reliable.

I have managed to remove the Yahoo Tool Bar which has ended Y! as my search engine. I am assured that it wasn’t FireFox that snuck the dreaded Yahoo into my system, so I have no idea how it got in there, but it has been removed, and I am back to Google.  Sometimes I prefer Bing, but I have never found a situation where I wanted Y!. Anyway it’s done.

And I seem to have picked up a sore throat and a mild cold at ComicFest,  Ah well.  I’ll have a Sudafed before bedtime.

And I remain very tired, and I have a long drive tomorrow. Good night.
