For the Doctor Who peepz…

Here’s a nifty step-by step tutorial on how to make an amazing space graphic like this in PhotoShop. It’s surprisingly easy!

…and here’s a tutorial on how to make an AMAZING light-up TARDIS cake. It’s not easy at all, but good grief it’s awesome.

Matt Smith + Orbital = The Doctor’s Dance Party

Matt Smith is so gloriously nerdy. I’m sure he’s quite mad, and really I love him all the more for it.

…if you missed it, this was like the face of every Doctor Who fan:

Look who’s a real author!

Hirst Books is going to publish my Anthony Ainley biography!
…now I just have to WRITE it!

Gallifrey 21!

Here are some photos from last weekend’s Gallifrey 21 convention, held at the beautiful LAX Marriott, oooh. Actually it was a lot of fun. I was exhausted for most of the con, and I only made it to one and a half panels (seriously, how pathetic is that), but got to meet lots of lovely people during lobbycon, which is really what it’s all about!

There was…

Katy Manning, who is just about the sweetest, most blitz woman I’ve ever met. We’ve sworn to get into lots of trouble next time we meet up. <3

The incredible Mr. Tony Lee, who skipped across the room to meet me, but was otherwise well-behaved as he is now in pre-marriage mode. Yay Tony!

Nick Briggs, who I met at TARDIS, but never actually got to have a conversation with, and as always, Rob Shearman, who has become quite a good friend.

This was the first, and almost definitely the last masquerade I’ve entered, it was a fairly harrowing experience for little to no reward, but hey… I went as the Second Doctor, as a 20’s Flapper, and nobody recognized me, hooray!

Finally, I want to alert you all to a new tradition — the Saturday Night TARDIS PJ party! Whoo hoo! Wear your jammies like it’s 1999! Or something. Yanno.

Procrastination…

Hey! This is a fun webcomic.

Skiency Magik!

Stumbled across the CERN particle physics bubble chambers photography website, and from the look of the pictures, it seems like this might be what they based the new Gallifreyan writing on… anyone care to confirm? In false color, they’re almost spot-on the same. Either way, the photos are amazing.
