I found out about GeekGirlCon sometime in 2025, and I had thought about going that year, but life got in the way of living as it were. I decided earlier this year that I would go to 2026’s, however. GGC takes place at the Seattle Convention Center – Arch’s 800 Pike building, so in addition … Continue reading

Future Travel Considerations, Part 4
I’ve written three posts on this subject so far, each one discussing things specifically, and I’ve decided to revisit the subject today. First off regarding charging: I have been made aware of some different charging solutions that parts of the previous entries irrelevant. The push to USB-C for most new things is excellent progress, and … Continue reading
The Sakura-Con 2026 Post
I’ve been in the Greater Seattle area for two years now. As I mentioned in my report for last year’s Sakura-Con, I missed 2024’s due to arriving up here the day before the con plus being on call for work. Notably, 2024 was the first year since 2004 that I didn’t attend any sort of … Continue reading
Early March Update
Well, we’re less than a month until Sakura Con, and I’m looking forward to it! My friend Mike is flying in again, so it should be a fun time, long as I don’t twist my ankle again… I’ll be more careful this year! I took some time earlier to repost some convention reports from years … Continue reading
Future Travel Considerations, Part 2
I touched briefly on electronics in the last post. Okay, maybe not so briefly, but I think I should do a better job of surveying what I’d be carrying and what charging I would need. Current potential devices (as of Oct 2025): – Personal laptop (Acer Swift X) – while I believe this will charge … Continue reading
Future Travel Considerations
I wrote a post on Pocket Networks yesterday about solo travel considerations related to the project chronicled on that blog, and I mentioned that actual deepdive into the actual onebag travel bit would be on this blog, so here we go. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to attain true “onebag” status where all … Continue reading
Conventions, Sans Cars
A few years ago, I wrote about attending Anime Weekend Atlanta without needing to rent a car. I was looking at the area around where AWA used to take place a couple days ago, and learned there is a CobbLinc bus route that connects to MARTA’s Red/Gold line that goes to the airport that has … Continue reading
A New Convention to Write About: The Sakura-Con 2025 Post
Hi there! Just over a year ago I moved to Seattle, and the weekend after I arrived was Sakura-Con. I had to work that weekend, so I didn’t go to it. Not to be defeated, I reached out to friends to see if anyone wanted to go this year, and one of them, the most … Continue reading
The AWA Post, Ver. (Provisional) FINAL?
Well, it’s that time of the year again, though with a little bit of difference to it. You see, AWA is moving from the venue it has been for the last 20 years to the Georgia World Congress Center in downtown Atlanta as well as moving for the first two years at this new venue … Continue reading
Back on DreamHost for Now
Last night, I moved my domains and their respective DNS hosting back to DreamHost until I can get settled elsewhere. I also put a ticket in with Coloblox that I wanted to derack my gear and discontinue service. It’s kind of bittersweet as not only am I going to have the gear deracked before this … Continue reading
