Great cartoon from Ragged Edge. I want to get that notepad printed up! The magazine also has an excellent blog and some very good articles. I just finished reading their spotlight on invisible disabilities, which linked to the cartoon. There’s…
Dragon Con, Weekend Planning, and Back to School
I won’t be going to Dragon Con unless a ticket (or pass—hey, I’m willing to do panels, ya know) falls out of the air. Sam will be running games and the girl will be working the con, so they both…
