LibertyCon Fun

I’m looking forward to getting my geek on at LibertyCon this weekend.  Things start happening for me tonight and then last until Sunday.  Here  is my itinerary:

Friday: 6:00 Writing a Series: Keeping a Reader Hooked (Gallery A & B)

Saturday: 10:00 Self Promotion: Increasing Discoverability Through Marketing Technology (Gallery A & B); 12:00 Military, Politics and Justice in the Future (Gallery A & B); 1:00 Self Publishing as a Viable Career Option (Town Hall); 3:00 Copyright and Piracy Legislation (Finley Room); 4:00 Has Everything Been Written?  The Seven Plots (Finley Room); 6:00 Proofreading & Copy Editing Seminar for Self Publishing (Gallery D)

Sunday: 11:00 Benefits and Problems of E-Publishing (Gallery D); 12:00 Tech Tools for Writers (Town Hall)

No good will come of this …

A recent article in the Huffington Post entitled “Predictive Policing Technology Lowers Crime in Los Andsgeles,” certainly doesn’t bury the lead.  The police, using computers equipped with some sort of crime prediction software, have identified certain areas in and around L.A. that are at a high risk for specific crimes.

I’ve seen this sci-fi movie, guys … it doesn’t end well.

Heroescon 2012

I had a great time at Heroescon 2012.  Met some familiar talent, met some new talent (or new to me anyway), and–creatively–I learned a lot from both.

Just like my last visit, I saw a lot of great costumes.  Unlike my last visit, Cindy, my wife, had to point out the person in a cool looking Black Cat costume was actually a dude.

Below are some pics:

Little Superman on his way to the con …

Punisher and the fam …

A great looking Pixie costume from Amanda Finley.  Check out her site by clicking here.  You’ll see lots of cool stuff, including a Nurse Joker costume that is crazy scary.

A cool looking Elektra …

Baby Doll, giving Emily Browning a run for her money …

Doc Strange.  Apparently, the woman in the background is unimpressed by his magiks (regardless of the “k”).

Dr. Fate trying to get the coffee WITH THE POWER OF HIS MIND!

Mystique looking awesome …

The Rocketeer, looking much prettier than Billy Campbell.

The alternate post credits scene to the Avengers movie …

Green Arrow, daring me to give him a reason …

How often would you Indiana Jones, Poison Ivy, and Lady Jaye together?

Apparently, there WAS something strange in the neighborhood …

Rogue and Catwoman …

The Goblin with a pumpkin bomb …

Robin, Impulse, and I think I found Waldo …

Best wife ever …

And me practicing for when I get bitten by that radioactive spider.
