Open Thread: Minicon 50 Report
Over the Easter weekend, I went to Minicon, the Minnesota Scientifiction Society’s yearly convention. This was the 50th convention, although not the fiftieth year, as a couple times early on it was held twice yearly. To mark the milestone, the convention ran four days instead of the usual three, and had a whole bunch of… Continue reading Open Thread: Minicon 50 Report

The temp companies have not found me any assignments lately either. As a result, I am out of cash. How you can help: If you know… Continue reading Open Thread: Unpleasant Circumstances
