Rattling the Tin Cup…

As much as I hate to do this, I’m currently scrambling for solutions, and it was suggested to me that this might not help much, but it couldn’t hurt.

Due to a number of causes (assignments whose deadlines have been moved, hosting charges coming due, and unexpected medical expense), I’m finding myself in dire financial straights at the moment.

So, I’ve decided to put out a method by which folks can make donations via Paypal. Again, I hate for it to come to this, but neccessity is a real bitch. If I’ve ever impacted your life in a positive way, I’m asking for you to please show your appreciation. You really can make a big difference right now.

We can really use it, and I’d be very grateful.

Here’s the button:

Thank you in advance.

Battlestar Galactica

I have to admit, that even as a huge fan of the original 1978 version of Battlestar Galactica (always better in conception and design than in execution), that the new 2003 miniseries version of Battlestar Galactica, which finished airing on the increasingly-misnamed SciFi Channel last night, was really not too bad.

Sure, they changed a lot. Sure, a lot of what they touted as “bold new dramatic elements to sci-fi” were done before. But it really wasn’t bad…and SciFi Channel should be encouraged to make more stuff like this, and less crap like Scare Tactics and their other “reality show” BS that has sod-all to do with the genre.

Yes, that’s right—we’ve gotten to the point where something called “The SciFi Channel” deserves applause for actually producing Science Fiction.
