#Orycon this weekend was a lot of fun. Portland was gorgeous. The coolest idea I took from a panel was a future where AI is trained by non-human sources like fungi and building spacecraft powered by spore engines. #oregon #sciencefiction
Saturday night. Con badges required. BYO kazoos, Kermit arms, and Bugles corn snacks (wait, bring some of those for us, too). #OryCon #music

Weekly Notes: April 21-27, 2025

A week in the life of…. Thoughts, photos, links, and miscellany from the past week.

Eclecticism
No, really! Chaos is part of the set up process.

I left Oregon 24 years ago. One of the things I miss most is going to #Orycon, being on @jstevenyork toy panel and firing these sons of bitches around the panel room. Steve had one too and we put a hurting on some ceiling tiles.

I am bequeathing mine to my kid to run around this big yard getting it stuck in trees and on the roof.

Pleased to say that #orycon continues to take masking seriously (we’ve got close to 100% compliance).
My wife's guide to getting dressed for #orycon. Boots first, then corset. Badge first, then dragon.
Congratulations to Sara A. Mueller for winning the Endeavor Award. The Bone Orchard was my pick this year. #Orycon

I'm at #orycon. I'll be reading about Do-Ye0n and his bad choices as it appeared in #crooked

4:30 at Flanders. They hide these things in the basement to avoid too many people showing up and getting in trouble with the fire chief. Best to arrive early so you get a good seat!

Truggster and friends encourage me to keep working on my #NaNoWriMo novel even though I’m at #Orycon this weekend…
