This sweet potato appears to have grown legs due to my negligence.

I have dubbed it The Baba Yama.

Had a great time moderating panels at Kumoricon last weekend, but I also got a chance to grab a few photos. #pdx #anime www.flickr.com/photos/silic...

Shot form the shoulders-up, she is wearing a with a wide white vinyl collar, blue vinyl helmet, and a black eye mask that shows custom LED patterns. The cosplay. The cosplay for Kuzco, the costume chosen especially to cosplay Kuzco, Kuzco's cosplay. He's the sovereign lord of the nation He's the hippest dude in creation He's a hep cat in the emperor's new clothes Years of such selective breeding Generations have been leading To this miracle of life that we all know What's his name?

So far, my Saturday at @dragoncon.org has involved hosting the parade and a Q&A with Simon Pegg. This evening will be... very different.

I'll be giving a presentation on the history of Y2K (and why it might happen again) at 10:00pm as part of Solve for X on @dconscitrack.bsky.social.

Tune into CBS Atlanta (Ch 69) Saturday at 10:00am (eastern) to see me host another live broadcast of the @dragoncon.org parade. Costumes, mayhem, and a middle-aged man trying to explain anime & carpet cults to folks who tuned in for NCIS & Matlock.

Lots of @dragoncontv.bsky.social work to do today, but first I have serious business to attend to at #wafflehouse
A picture of the last few bites of waffle on a Waffle House plate. This is a closeup on the beauty of a classic waffle being devoured at the counter. The coffee declined to be in the photo, while the bacon was consumed off camera in a scene deemed too aggressive for sensitive viewers.

One of my "assignments" as a #WorldCon2025 staff photographer was getting shots of "DJ Scalzi"...

Much work, such hardship...

j/k this was a blast, thanks @scalzi.com
John Scalzi is DJ'ing a party at World Con. He is on a stage behind DJ equipment, his right arm up in the air. There is a crowd dancing in front of the stage, bathed in red light.
