This memorial was conceived as a place to honor the servicemembers who lost their lives over the past four years during the Iraq War. By watching the videos, you will have the opportunity to learn about these heroes from those who knew them best -- their family, friends, and fellow servicemembers. Each man and woman represented in the memorial had attributes and qualities that made them unique, but they all have one thing in common - they were truly loved and are deeply missed.

On this site I will document my 25 years of attending Science Fiction conventions with the goal of making some of the recordings I have of those events available to those interested in researching Science Fiction and to keep the names of those authors, artists and fans I've met alive for the next generation of fans and pros.

I'll be commenting on the conventions I currently attend and what I think about those events, from the organization to the topics discussed. All of this and more will be on The Classic Adventures section of this site. Enjoy!

On my What's New page I'll be listing updates to this site and mention news and events that interest me. I'll try to update this "mini weblog" on at least a weekly basis, my inspiration for this is Mark Evanier's excellent weblog, NewsFrom ME which sets the standard for well written, readable and thought provoking weblogs to an almost unattainable height! Mark has a knack for making subjects I either know nothing about or thought I didn't care about irresistible. Thanks Mark.

Another great source of weblog inspiration is John Kenneth Muir's Reflections on Film/TV in which John comments on all those subjects from my childhood which were about to be lost to me as I shamble into middle age. John's technique is to bring some of those old Saturday morning days back to me when I used to get up before my parents and watch all those great kids shows.
