The documents assert that mandate baldly. A legal factsheet from the NSA, dated June 2013, states that the FISA, which requires judicial oversight over spying on Americans, “only regulates a subset of the NSA’s signals intelligence activities. NSA conducts the majority of its SIGINT activities solely pursuant to the authority provided by Executive Order 12333.”

    got a lightly used maybe 15-20 times tops Toro Core Reactor and matching Toro crank cap. The Toro crank cap is the one that is offset a little to direct air flow around the outside of the core. The Eternal Quartz insert is included and slips on to the core. The junk part is the insert doesn’t work with the crank cap. You will need to use a flat cap or short tip bubble cap to use the insert.

New revised Moscow World Cup Nominative Entries

WCup 2011 ART Moscow logo

Yesterday, the Russian Gymnasts website (also featured on Tatiana Nabievas website) issued the original nominative entries for the Moscow World Cup in their newsletter which featured the likes of Beth Tweddle, Alicia Sacramone and Rebecca Bross to name just a few. USA Gymnastics confirmed that neither Bross or Sacramone will be competing in Moscow.

The FIG have today released the new nominative entries for the Moscow World Cup due to take place May 13th and 14th. View it here.Despite having 87 gymnasts competing from 35 countries many of the names listed in the original nominative list have not accepted the invitation to compete at the event, what a pity.

The big names competing will feature Sandra Izbasa, Diana Maria Chelaru, Jessica Lopez, Jade Fernandes Barbosa, Tatiana Nabieva, Yana Demyanchuk, Oskana Chusovitina, Ana Porgras, Lauren Mitchell, Anna Dementyeva and Elisabeth Seitz. None of the British girls will compete, they have just returned from a 2 weeks recovery camp in Mexico.

The Men’s competition is looking very “hot” (as the FIG describe it!) with Daniel Purvis, Epke Zonderland, Krisztian Berki, Thomas Bouhail, Eleftherios Kosmidis, Louis Smith, Flavius Koczi,Alexander Shatilov, Cyril Tommasone, Rafel Martinez and Prasanth Sellathurai  all featuring in the Men’s competition.

It’s a pity that some of the top names will not compete such as the Chinese, the Americans and girls from Great Britain. View the FIGs report on the event here.

Nature's Fireworks: Lava

Nature's Fireworks: Lava

While the United States commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4 with plenty of pyrotechnics, nature presents its own brand of fireworks all year long. Here are 11 spectacular fire and lights displays, from volcanic eruptions to the northern lights.
Kilauea on the Big Island of Hawaii has been dazzling spectators since 1983. Lava from this dome on the flank of 13,679-foot Mauna Loa flows to the Pacific Ocean, where molten rock sizzles into the water. The best view is from tour boats. You can also see the subtle subterranean glow of magma from various spots around the volcano’s rim.

Nature's Fireworks: Northern Lights

This phenomenon, triggered by solar wind in the Earth’s ionosphere, is available for viewing year-round in polar regions. You’ll have better luck during clear winter evenings above the Arctic Circle. For virtually guaranteed sightings of the aurora borealis, visit Bettles or Fairbanks, Alaska, or the diamond-boom hub of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. There, several wilderness resorts, such as Blachford Lake Lodge, offer special packages for northern-lights seekers, including the all-important extreme-cold clothing.

Nature's Fireworks: Thunder and Lightning

Want to see a spectacular three- or four-hour thunderstorm? Visit the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains anywhere in southern Alberta, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado or New Mexico. Almost every afternoon from May through September, the sun’s heat raises thermals that climb the sky and form thunderheads that are then steered east by the prevailing winds. So a round of golf or morning’s fishing can be followed by a late afternoon or early evening thunder-and-lightning show.

Nature's Fireworks: Meteorites

The Perseid meteor shower peaks around mid-August, and the best places to watch are higher-elevation Northern Hemisphere locales away from urban light pollution, such as Mount Washington in New Hampshire, Pikes Peak in Colorado or the back side of Sandia Peak near Albuquerque. Bring a coat and a sleeping pad for lying down, and reflect on the fact that the streak of light you see is caused by high-speed friction within the same atmosphere we breathe. So, take deep, slow, thankful breaths.

Nature's Fireworks: Milky Way

Contemplating infinity is the perfect antidote to a world in which instant global access makes the universe seem small. It’s not. Our home galaxy contains more than 400 billion stars, a number large enough to paralyze even the snazziest home calculators. Great places to admire the Milky Way are the Kohala Coast on Hawaii’s Big Island; the higher reaches of the Sonoran Desert in southern Arizona, such as the Tucson foothills; and the coastal islands of Maine on clear August and September nights.

Nature's Fireworks: Sun Dogs

Sun dogs are luminescent light bands created by sunlight that shines through ice fog. They resemble rainbows but are less vivid. Nonetheless, they’re delightful manifestations of light, and it’s cool to tell people their scientific name: parhelion. The ring around the sun one sees in winter is caused by light refraction through ice crystals at high elevations. More impressive are ground-level sun dogs that require ice fog. Ski areas known for that are Mount Bachelor in Oregon, Lake Louise and Sunshine Village in Alberta, and numerous Rockies resorts such as Whitefish in Montana. Morning is the best time to see sun dogs, as slanted light accentuates the effect.

Nature's Fireworks: Rainbows

Admiring a rainbow in the distance amid the velvet mountains of Hawaii, the justly named Rainbow State, is a rich travel reward. Like sun dogs, rainbows are refractions of visible light through tiny drops of water; in this case, unfrozen water. Other notable rainbow venues are Western Canada’s incessantly shower-dappled Skeena River Valley; the verdant hills of Wales and Ireland; and the Florida Keys during the rainy season, mid-May to mid-October. Any Caribbean island is a great rainbow generator, as is Alaska’s Kodiak Island and the islands of the upper Great Lakes in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan, from June to September.

Nature's Fireworks: Sunsets

There’s a vast array of places to see great sunsets: Marco Island or Sarasota in Florida, Kauai’s Ke’e Beach, Sandia Crest above Albuquerque, or the shores of Santa Barbara, Calif. The best ones come over ocean waters or in desert skies, where either dust or humidity accentuate and spread the rich colors. More important than finding the right place is the right attitude: What better way is there to appreciate the miracle of physics whose light and warmth make life possible?

Nature's Fireworks: Full Moon

I’ve read books by moonlight at 10,000 feet in the Colorado Rockies, snorkeled by the light of the moon in the Caribbean and skied by moonlight in Washington’s Cascade Mountains. But nothing surpasses the sight of the full moon reflected in a placid body of water, backed by natural landscape features that provide their own character to the scene. See moonlight on a backwater by a mangrove cay in the Florida Everglades; on a timberline lake in the Rockies; on the Danube River in Budapest; or on a wilderness lake in Minnesota’s Boundary Waters. Howling is fashionable in certain quarters, but I prefer quiet contemplation.

Nature's Fireworks: Green Flash

Skeptics pooh-pooh this famously evanescent phenomenon, but I’ve seen it and so have millions of others. Just after the sun sets over an unobstructed horizon, a momentary arc of green light appears. Oceans and large lakes are the best places to watch for this. Even if you don’t see it (and it's notoriously difficult to capture on film), it’s entertaining to discover that the sun’s movement is detectable to the naked eye. That the best venue is sitting on a beach only adds to the spiritual value of this sight. Try the west-facing shores of Florida, California and Hawaii.

Nature's Fireworks: Fireflies

The airborne version of bioluminescence is one of the wonders of childhood. Two thousand species of little flying beetles called lampyridae are found in temperate and tropical regions around the world, including Japan, where fireflies are so beloved that they’re a metaphor for passionate love. One of the greatest novelties of all, however, occurs in the southeastern U.S., where some fireflies synchronize their flashes. Early summer visitors to Elkmont, Tenn., and Congaree National Park, S.C., can watch a sort of firefly Rockettes revue as hundreds of lightning bugs flash in unison.

Explain data collection practices: US lawmakers to Apple, Google

Lawmakers in the US have sent letters to Apple CEO Tim Cook and Larry Page, CEO of Google's parent company Alphabet, demanding information on how they collect and use personal information of users.

Members of the Energy and Commerce Committee of the US House of Representatives sent the letters on Monday.

With recent media reports raising concerns about misuse of user data, the lawmakers sought information from the two companies on third-party access to consumer data, collection and use of audio recording data as well as location information via iPhone and Android devices.

In their letter to Alphabet's Page, the lawmakers pointed to reports that suggested that Google permitted third parties to access the contents of users' emails, including message text, email signatures, and receipt data, to personalise content despite an announcement in June 2017 in which the search giant said it would stop scanning Gmail for advertisements.

The Wall Street Journal last week reported that despite assuring users to "remain confident that Google will keep privacy and security paramount", it still allowed some third-party organisations to scan through Gmail accounts.

"In the context of free services offered by third parties, these practices raise questions about how representations made by a platform are carried out in practice," the lawmakers wrote in their letter to Alphabet's Page.

In their letter to Apple's CEO, the lawmakers asked if people's iPhones collect audio recordings without their consent and if Apple could "control or limit the data collected by third-party apps available on the App store", Fortune.com reported.

The House representatives asked is Apple collects and stores user information "through a different data-collection capability" even if people disable location-tracking services on their iPhones, it added.

The House representatives asked Alphabet's Page and Apple's Cook to respond to the questions by July 23.

Title Insurance2016-11-29T12:20:08+00:00

Title Insurance

Having a clear title is important to the sale and purchase of a home and title insurance is important to you, the new homeowner. When you obtain a loan to buy your home, your lender will require that you purchase Lender’s Title Insurance. This insurance protects the lender’s investment, but it provides no protection for you or your investment. Be sure to ask your real estate agent, lender, or attorney about an Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance.

An Owner’s Policy is your assurance that the home you’re buying is protected from any title problems now or down the road. Owner’s Title Insurance isn’t something you should have to think about. It’s simply something you should have, so you can think about what’s really important – enjoying your home.

Every day in America, someone somewhere is buying or selling a home.  Behind the scenes of each transaction is the title insurance industry – a nationwide corps of detail-minded professionals who conduct in depth searches to uncover and remedy any problems with the title of ownership.  Such problems could be a boundary dispute, a tax lien, a mechanic’s lien, utility assessments, home improvement code violations, the list goes on and on.  Title professionals look for these possible problems, and then they make every effort to resolve them so you can move into your new home with assured peace of mind.  Additionally, if a title problem should arise in the future your Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance can protect you, even to the point of paying for legal representation.

What is one of the most common title problems? You’ll be surprised. “THE MORTGAGE WAS PAID OFF.” Despite our information age, the fact is that some “paid off” mortgages never get registered as having been paid off. When a homeowner goes to sell the property, the title search may turn up a previous mortgage that the seller never knew existed. Since this mortgage will be reported by the title professional, it looks like the property has two mortgages that need to be paid off, which can hold up the sale. How can this happen? The reasons are many, but the most common is a slow, incorrect, or nonexistent filing by the previous mortgage holder. In this situation the title professional has to determine if the prior mortgage truly was paid off or, if it wasn’t satisfied, how to pay it. Either way, the issue needs to be resolved before the house can be sold.RECORDS MISTAKENLY SHOWED TWO MORTGAGES – Here is an example: Back in the 1980’s, the savings and loan industry experienced the collapse of numerous institutions. One Midwest institution held thousands of current and “satisfied” mortgages at the time of its failure. The paper was picked up by various other financial institutions during the dissolution proceedings, yet some of the mortgage records had been either incorrectly filed or incorrectly registered. When the homeowner decided to sell the property, the title professional’s search revealed land transaction records, indicating that the first mortgage the homeowner thought had been satisfied through refinancing had not been registered as having been paid off. Thus, it “appeared” that the home was carrying two mortgages – the original loan and the current mortgage.

DILIGENT TITLE SEARCH REVEALED THE ERRORS -The title professional knew about the savings and loan’s problems and paid careful attention to any title searches that referenced that particular institution. They then verified the true mortgage holder (lender) and owner of each of the properties and secured a clear title, without the seller, buyer, real estate professional, or lender having to do anything. Title professionals do this kind of behind the scenes work every day to uncover and remedy any issues that might affect the title.

PROTECT YOUR HOME WITH TITLE INSURANCE – Even the most thorough, detailed title search can sometimes not catch every potential title problem. So when you buy a home, insist on protecting your investment with an Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance. If you have an Owner’s Policy and a title problem is found later – even decades later – the title professional will resolve the problem and, if necessary, pay for a lawyer to defend your title claim. It’s all about protecting your piece of the American Dream…and protecting your peace of mind.

About This Site

I'm Ian. For most of the last ten years, I've worked for myself doing Research and Development for software companies, particularly game developers. But I've had fingers in many other pies, including a training company, a motor-sports company, a web technology company and a publisher of interactive books. I've also written some textbooks.

This site is about none of that. This site is about the stuff I do for fun.

I love games. Including games that tell stories. And things that tell stories that aren't quite games, but don't have a name. And anything else that uses technology in interesting and entertaining ways.

Here is a sample of the kinds of things I've done before:

Jagged Alliance Online Starts Closed Beta Registration; Releases Four Screenshots

Jagged Alliance Online

Cliffhanger Productions is promising that when their new browser-based version of the classic Jagged Alliance series goes live, strategy veterans will be pleased by how faithfully they’ve updated the beloved franchise.  Many more missions, base management, and a fresh 3D engine are all on the docket, but at its core, they’ve been clear about their intent to retain the mixture of real-time and turn-based tactical game play that made the original releases so popular.  Curious about their progress so far?  Now players will have a chance to give some feedback on the project by signing up for the game’s upcoming closed beta at the publisher’s website.

Can a modern browser-based edition of Jagged Alliance work, or would they have been better off using the license to create a first-person shooter like 2K Games’ XCOM?  Check out these four screenshots and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

Tall Ship Festival

This past week nine tall sailing ships passed by the Gardens at Waters East on their way to the Tall Ship Festival in Green Bay.  Standing here in the gardens watching, one becomes reflective of what life was like 150 – 200 years ago when these were the kind of ships plying the waters of Lake Michigan off these very shores.  Thoughts about: what was life like for those men and women so many years ago, where are their decedents today, the many years of history that have taken place in America and how it has changed, and more.  It was a time for much reflection.  Ships from Spain, Norway and ports in the USA sailed by the gardens.  Very nice to see.

The photos on this posting are not the best – taken with my little point–and–shoot camera, but you get to see and share in part of the experience of an interesting day here at the Gardens at Waters East.

West Lothian College HNC Contemporary Art Practice: re:CAP

17th - 21st June 2016 Re:CAP is an end of year show by HNC Contemporary Art Practice students studying at West Lothian College.

The HNC in Contemporary Art supports students to develop their own artistic skills, both practically and intellectually.   The works are a culmination of 2D, 3D and digital practices that highlight a broad ranging exploration of personal developments and investigations.  As a result, every student on the course has an offer to progress on to art school, with many students receiving multiple offers for places at Glasgow School of Art, Edinburgh College of Art, Gray’s School of Art in Aberdeen and Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design, Dundee. The majority of students will take up these opportunities, with some others selecting to explore other horizons.  We are delighted to present the students work in this exhibition at the end of their studies for 2015-16.

Those who are keen to find out more are welcome to attend our preview evening on Friday 17 June between 6 and 9pm.  For more information, please contact course tutor Alex Harvey, This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Lucy Chaplin- Science Starlet Comic Book Review

The Austin-based creator and writer of Halloween Man Comics, Drew Edwards, is releasing a special feature starring Halloween Man’s girlfriend, the buxom brainiac Lucy Chaplin. The Science Starlet drops on Comixology Wednesday, July 4th, with a release party and signing on Saturday, July 7th at Hops & Heroes.

Lucy Chaplin Science Startlet, Drew Edwards, Comic Book, Halloween Man, Austin Texas

I had a chance to read the comic and it was a delight. Lucy Chaplin is a brilliant scientist who uses her inventions to fight evil-doers in this dimension and beyond. She’s a beautiful, full-figured, smart woman who, at the end of a tough day of saving the world, comes home to a tender relationship with an undead man who has also been out fighting his own monsters.

Lucy Chaplin COmic Book Drew Edwards Halloween Man Austin Texas

There’s obvious political satire, social commentary, and cheesecake comic book quirkiness in this fun and overdue read. Edwards gave Lucy many qualities of his wife, Austin’s own voluptuous pinup, musician, and activist, Jamie Bahr. The character was written with so much adoration and respect.

Key things I loved about this comic:

*At no point does Halloween Man have to step in and save the day.  He knows Lucy has her business handled.

*Who Edwards made the president in this universe. No spoilers, just saying.

*Lucy crushing unhealthy societal beauty standards without mocking smaller-framed women in the process.

Lucy Chaplin COmic Book Drew Edwards Halloween Man Austin Texas

The message from the comic is clear- women are powerful, important, and equal, and can do anything they want. Want to be a leading plus-sized model AND a badass crimefighter? YOU CAN! Want to be a pioneering scientist AND celebrate your own sexiness? YOU CAN! And further, you can be loved for it all.

Its the Most Other-Worldly Time of the Year!

It’s my favorite time of year! No, I’m not a winter person. And, though I am no Scrooge, I just don’t get that excited about the holidays. No, something amazing is happening in my corner of the world December 7th-10th- Other Worlds Austin Science Fiction Film Festival (OWA)! Let me explain why this event so awesome I had to get a babysitter for my dog.

OWA is now in it’s 4th year as Austin, Texas’s only dedicated science fiction film festival. And yes, I’ve been every year. It has grown into a 4-day fest that screens and celebrates the diverse spectrum of scifi, as well as adding horror in 2016 with its Under Worlds sidebar. There are independent, international feature films and short films all making their Austin debuts at least, some as much as making their world premiere.

Films are voted on by festival attendees for Audience Choice awards, as well as given awards from the programming staff (Cthulies). In 2015 OWA added the Mary Shelley Award, awarded to “the artist (writer, director, or actress) whose film best furthers the involvement and representation of women in genre filmmaking.”

This year’s Launch Film is the 20th Anniversary screening of Event Horizon with writer Philip Eisner in attendance. I just had to painfully hold myself back from writing that entire sentence in all caps to show my excitement. Eisner is also leading a screenwriting workshop Saturday morning at the Austin School of Film Motion Media Arts Center. I will be there taking all the notes.

Did I mention the parties? One very important thing that sets OWA apart from other great festivals is the community it builds. Brunch, happy hour, preshow parties, and after-parties are scheduled with the attendees in mind. Though some are reserved for top-tier badgeholders, there are parties available to everyone. They have specialty drink menus appropriately themed for the occasion, and this year they’ve added a trivia night.  Every year I get the chance to meet other fans and some of the film casts and crews over cocktails to talk about the films and scifi in general. I’ve made many great friends and valued acquaintances during these fun mingling times.

The staff really are the reason why OWA is able to build such a great event. I would know, I used to work with them. They are kind, funny, true fans who want to do the best they can to bring OWA to the scifi fans of Austin and beyond. They work year-round to find the best new scifi films to screen in Austin and make each fest better than the last. They can always be found around the fest, are helpful and ready to engage in any conversation about their favorite films. They’re good people doing stellar work. I am over the moon for all of them.

Last year OWA moved it’s base from central-ish Austin to the far north end of the city. I must admit, traveling to a galaxy far, far away (driving from South Austin to Round Rock) is not ideal. However, having Flix Brewhouse host the fest was the right move. Flix has a wonderful kitchen, a superb microbrewery, a huge free parking lot, great screens, and convenient food and drink service during the films. Their tables even slide out to meet you at your seat so eating in the dark isn’t quite as messy. I definitely need that. The venue upgrade vastly makes up for the drive.

The only real complaint I can come up with is that each film is only offered once in the program and with two theaters running, I will have to miss some of the film selections. I know how much work and care the staff puts into curating such an incredible program and I want to see all of it. I think this is just a symptom of the fest still being on the newer and smaller side, and something they could possibly remedy as the festival continues to grow. But getting the twelve guaranteed screenings, the film guest Q&As, the pre and after parties, brunch, and the screenwriting workshop that all come with my top-tier badge, at under $100, I actually feel selfish and guilty for complaining that I can’t get more.

So, this week I am faced with decisions. I haven’t figured out all my film picks yet. But these are what I know for sure. The shorts programs are always my favorite. This year there are three collections of short films- one horror, and two scifi. These take priority for me. Beyond Skyline is the only film that plays both theaters at the same time, so that is a sure bet. I think it should go without saying that I’ll be there for Event Horizon. The other films I’m leaning toward (probably?) are Flora, Tuftland, Restoration, and The Black Hole. This really is a tough one to call. I might just do blind picks and know I’ll be happy either way.

If you’re a science fiction fan in the Austin area, you’d be doing a huge disservice to yourself to miss this film festival. Badges are still on sale, and tickets for individual screenings are also available while they last. I hope I see you there. I’ll be the overly excited girl in some sort of spacey dress. Please say hello if you see me, so I can reiterate to you in person why Other Worlds Austin consistently makes me so happy.

P.S. Don’t forget to follow my new Facebook and Instagram accounts so we can discuss all your favorite festivals and films!

The Nerds are Coming!

Austin, TX has so many wonderful interest groups and communities. My favorites are obviously the ones for creatives and entrepreneurs. These groups do everything from hosting skill-building workshops and networking meet-ups, to planning public film screenings and artist markets.

One such event is happening this weekend and I can’t wait. Nerd Cave is a free annual art and music showcase celebrating comics, gaming, and general nerdiness going on Saturday, May 13th at The Sidewinder in downtown Austin from 1-7pm.

Nerd Cave ATX

Nerd Cave started in 2011 when Jennifer Cunningham and Matthew McCoy organized a small comic book art show at Tribe Comics in South Austin. Once Bad Barry Comp (Music Manager) and Shane Campos (Graphic Designer) got involved the group rebranded and grew into the showcase it is today. And for a dash of super hero bonus points, they also take donations at the events for local charity organizations. Tomas Fierro has stepped up as the Charity Liaison to help keep this aspect well organized.

I didn’t get involved with Nerd Cave until last year. Jennifer Cunningham, who, on top of being a super talented artist and cosplayer, is also an incredible make up artist, asked me if I’d like to join in the nerdy fun. Jen knew about my work in the different geek realms and my previous gig hosting a YouTube show, so she asked if I would come in cosplay and do interviews at the event. I went dressed in my new Super Mario Bros. fireball throwing piranha plant costume, set up a small merch table (which my fellow Frisky, Stormy L’Amour, helped me run), and filmed a handful of interviews with some of the awesome cosplayers.

Gemmi Galactic Nerd Cave ATX

I loved every minute of Nerd Cave 2016. I got to chat with fellow nerds about our shared love of fandom, geek out over clever costume construction, and meet more artists and makers and see their craft up close. The sweet and funny guys of Punching the Walls of Reality interviewed me on their podcast, and I won some great prizes in the costume contest. The live nerdcore hip hop music was new to me, but a fun and impressive surprise.

Nerd Cave ATX

I took quite a bit of footage of the event, in addition to the interviews. And then I sat on it all. For a year. I had every intention of launching my YouTube channel last year but some things just don’t work out as planned. 2017 brings new opportunities, new goals, and another Nerd Cave Showcase. I’ll be there with new goodies on my merch table, wearing my favorite cosplay, judging the Hops & Heroes Comics sponsored cosplay contest, and filming all new footage and interviews for a real YouTube launch.

Nerd Cave ATX

So come join us. Meet fellow nerds, talk about fandom, enter the cosplay contest, support local geek artists, enjoy the music, play games from Austin Toy Museum, chat with me on camera, donate to the Central Texas Food Bank, and have a good time.

My SciFi Romance

My first true love is Science Fiction. This is something I’ve known since middle school. Reading Ray Bradbury cracked open my mind to whole new worlds of possibilities. I was hooked. It’s almost impossible to pick my favorite stories of his, but The Veldt, The Earth Men, and The Pedestrian are candidates. At some point I started reading Vonnegut and Dick and my worlds got a little more twisted.

This was the start of a life-long love affair with anything SciFi. I watched Star Wars with my dad. I watch Star Trek with my mom. And I will forever be torn by the debate of Wars vs. Trek. Although, I do have some thoughts on this matter that can be an entire post on it’s own, so we’ll probably revisit this at a later date.

SciFi covers such a broad range of genres and I don’t have just one favorite. I enjoy the silly just as much as the serious. I love all the different imaginings of technology, life forms, space, and time. Some of the best works really focus on humanity and it’s response to these different imaginings. Black Mirror is probably the best show doing this right now. (In my opinion, obviously. I know there are more shows doing an amazing job with this right now.)

Two years ago I had the opportunity to attend a new SciFi film festival, Other Worlds Austin, as Press with my old YouTube show. I was completely blown away with the quality of the films curated for the event, and the friendliness of the staff and film guests involved. Directors and actors flew in from across the world to represent their films in Q&As and were kind enough to give us interviews in a quiet corner of the movie theater. A few of the feature films even went on to success on Netflix and Video On Demand, and many of them I have watched again.

I soon learned that OWA coordinated year-round events and screenings in Austin. I started attending and promoting them and soon they gave me a staff position in their Social Media/Marketing department. I worked with this dedicated staff of scifi fans and curators for over a year before my crazy project load forced me to make the very hard decision of leaving.

Next week (Dec. 1st-4th) is OWA’s 3rd annual festival! And as if I couldn’t be any more excited to go, they added HORROR to their program! Yes, Under Worlds Austin is OWA’s new expansion and I think it’s bloody brilliant. (Note: Horror post coming soon.) If you’re in the Austin area you should check it out. If you’re a filmmaker you should definitely check it out and submit to next year’s fest.

What do you like about Science Fiction? What are your favorite subgenres? Favorite writers/stories/films? Give me some recommendations to check out!

Weirdo at the Party

There is something I’ve known for a very long time, and from a very young age. I am weird. For a while I was ashamed and afraid that people would find out just how weird I was so I tried to hide it in many ways. That didn’t really work. First of all, my weirdness wasn’t easy to conceal. Second, I didn’t like who I was when I tried to be someone else to fit in. And honestly, I don’t think I really liked the people I was trying to fit in with.

After years of fighting it, I finally gave in to it. And I grew from just finally accepting my weirdness to fully celebrating it. What’s more is that I actually really like the other weirdos I meet. I found entire communities of people who like the same weird things I like and who have ways of celebrating their weirdness too. I fell completely in love with many subgenres of geek culture. Mostly the scifi, comic book, and horror realms and their fans. And even more specifically, my fellow creators in these fields, like writers, directors, artists, and cosplayers.

My Madonna phase circa 1985?

So let’s lay down some brief points of my evolution. In my early childhood I liked to play dress up. Mostly, I wanted to be Rainbow Brite and Madonna. I would build big standing microphones out of my Legos, layer on scarves and belts, and strum a fat plastic baseball bat like a guitar and sing. At some point my desire to be on stage took a back seat and I became a super nerd. I just wanted to read. I was always at the top of my class. My interests grew from stories about ballerinas to Nancy Drew. That was about the same time I started crocheting and crafting. In junior high I found my love for art, mostly sketching, and I found Edgar Allan Poe and Ray Bradbury and my life was never the same. In high school my love of horror really kicked in. In college, my first love taught me all about comic books. That was also the time I reclaimed my love for music and started photographing and writing about bands.

My friend’s prom. Princess Leia and a Jedi. 2001?

And then I got lost. For a few years. In that place where you try so hard to be almost anybody else that you almost don’t escape with any memory of who you really ever were. Those were dark times. Had I not found cosplay and burlesque performance, two things that are amazing both separately and together, and been led back to a world of creating, I might have been gone forever. Metaphorically and/or physically. I struggled with a lot then, so who knows.

My first Comic Con. 2010. With Catwoman Danae 🙂 Also my first Poison Ivy costume.

I am at my absolute happiest when I am creating. It can be anything at all, but making a costume, a necklace, a story, a character…  These things give me life. I want to celebrate that and support others who do the same. So welcome to my party. I’m your weirdo hostess and I’m glad to have you here with me.

Julie, thank you so much for including my blog post in your Friday Finds!

Doug Williams said...

Hey Julie, I always enjoy checking out your Friday Finds! You've got a link error for the "By Their Deeds" Online Article. It currently links to the GeneaPress announcement of Marian Pierre-Louis' New England Research podcast. I think this link is correct: http://onerhodeislandfamily.com/2013/01/19/by-their-deeds/

Julie Cahill Tarr said...

Thanks for catching that, Doug. I've updated it.
