Because I Can Never Get Enough

Here’s yet another picture of the divine Marissa Miller just in time to be a day late for “Photo Tuesday.” Although, I did give you some great shots of Tricia Helfer and Katee Sackhoff from the BSG press event yesterday — so no complaining, please.

I also realize that having these kind of photos may land me a bit on the pandering side of things. But then again, who cares? She looks purty. And sweaty. And I feel like sharing.

Enjoy.

I’ve Been at Comic-Con

Yes, all the thrills, chills, excitement and sweaty fanboys you could ever want. But also, great artists, writers, costumes, cool shows and all the true geekery you could ever want. This is Comic-Con and no matter what the negatives, I still seem to go back every year.

I’ll probably do a longer post-mortem later, but until then I just want to highlight a couple of the great things that happened to me, and around me, during the show. Here’s a few:

Meeting Robert Englund (aka Freddy Krueger).

Meeting Stan “The Man” Lee

Meeting Joss Whedon

Getting to hang out with some great friends and the cool people I work with at ComicMix.

Making some great new friends from in and around the “business.”

Getting a chance to talk a little about my own personal projects with people in a position to do something about them and be taken seriously and met with enthusiasm.

Oh, and did I mention I met Joss Whedon. That was cool. Matt Raub, one of my ComicMix pals, met him as well earlier in the week while we were hanging at the Hyatt bar. Which, as it turns out, was pretty much the place to hang out.

It seemed that after all the parties and events that people felt compelled to attend, most anyone would end up at the Hyatt to actually have a bit of fun and relax. Glad we were there too.

For some of my interviews and such done during the show, check out ComicMix.

Last, but certainly not least, here’s a few pics of the “BSG” cast (including my personal favorite Katee Sackhoff) taken by my pal Tony Mark during the press event.

Check them out after the jump. Enjoy.

Megan Fox – ‘Star Wars’ Nerd

So, it appears my blog has turned into one run by a fifteen-year old boy who likes to look at pretty girls. Ah well, who can blame me really? Especially when the girl in question is Megan Fox and she’s sporting a rather cool t-shirt from one of my favorite movies of all time. I mean, come on?

Also, as if Megan wasn’t enough, I’m also doing some things as well. Although, I won’t look nearly as good as Megan does while I do them. But yes, its Comic-Con time again in San Diego and I’ll be there representing with the crew from ComicMix. We even have a booth this year so if you happen to be at the show, be sure to come by booth #2308 and bring me cookies. Or, just say hello. But did I mention I like cookies? Okay, just wanted to make sure. Chocolate chip, btw. In case you were wondering. Okay, that’s it for the cookies. Thanks.

And, to talk about how great I am just a bit more, I’ve got a couple new interviews up. Last week the first part of my interview with writer, actor and Internet giant Wil Wheaton hit at ComicMix. Part two drops on Monday (I believe) and part three (Yes, I spoke with Wil a long time and he was nice enough to do it) will hit the following week.

I’ve also got an interview with Buffy, Angel and Battlestar writer/producer Jane Espenson coming out this week as well. She was super-cool and a pleasure to interview. Plus, I’m sure there will be one or two things from me as Comic-Con gets into full swing later this week. In fact, I know there will because I know who and what I’ll be doing already.

Not that I’ll be “doing” anyone at Comic-Con. Although, I do have a thing for girls in “Slave Leia” costumes. And Wonder-Woman too. Also Emma Frost and Poison Ivy. But that’s a story for another time.

Anyway, be sure to check ComicMix early and often for all the latest from me and the rest of the gang of very talented and extremely cool people who work there. And now, here’s Megan (Yes, in addition to the Star Wars t-shirt that appears to be an iPhone in her hand. What a girl.):

It is Mine

For more on my quest for the new iPhone 3G on Friday (aka iPhone day), check out this post over at TUAW where I detail the day for you.

Also, as time goes on, look for more about my experiences with the new iPhone 3G. Meantime, here’s a nice pic of the new device side by side with the old one. FYI, the new one is the one the left. You can tell because its slightly wider and also has that cool “3G” logo in the upper left corner.

Photo Tuesday with Marissa Miller

Seriously, does it get much better than this woman? Living in Los Angeles, I’m lucky enough to see and come in contact with (aka sit across the Starbucks and stare at) some of the most beautiful women in the world. However, with all those other woman running around here, Marissa Miller still rises to the top.

So, in honor of photo Tuesday, here’s a few shots of her from a recent issue of GQ. Heck, there’s even one in Black & White to fulfill the “arty” quotient for this week. Oh, and if you’re interested, check out all of my photos from the recent Wizard World Chicago extravaganza over at ComicMix.

But for now, enjoy these and be inspired.

So Long Bozo

Even though I didn’t always like clowns as a kid, Bozo was still funny and made my laugh. That’s all you really need to say about a clown, isn’t it?

Rest in piece Bozo.
