The First Step is to Admit You Have a Problem

Hi, everybody. My name is madbaker, and I'm addicted to caffeine.

Blatant Plug

A friend from my college days recently started an online comic - Thunderstruck.

Why am I plugging it?
My friend has always been a good storyteller. Whether it was his plots in our college superhero RPGs, home-written computer game modules, or comics. I think you all might enjoy his stories too.

This is a re-working of the story; he wrote several comic book-sized chapters about 10 years ago. I still have my copy of the original, so if you all make the current one immensely popular (a la Sluggy Freelance) then I can sell mine on E-Bay for mega-bucks. Bwah hah hah hah!

...Sorry. Got carried away. Go read his comic anyway.

Well, phoo.

I just found out that an author I like, C.S. Friedman, cancelled her signing tour that was due to hit the West Coast next month.

She's never made it down here and I was looking forward to getting my copies signed. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to console myself by buying the new one.
