In a future where the rich kids are being raised with a digital Cyrano beside them to sweet-talk their way into the best jobs, four friends train together for a battle to prove that other kinds of minds might still have the edge.

And, as the editors of our publications, we're within our right to set the guidelines for what we will and will not consider for publication. No other group of people feels so entitled to break the guidelines and then wonders (or makes excuses for) why we don't respect them.

The convention already has their official photos up here:

I haven't had a chance to go through all of mine, but some of the unedited tourist-stuff went on FB.

Disappointed to miss one of my favorite conventions, but the trip was a lot of fun and time well-spent.

With all the traveling I've been doing this month, I've been lax in my marketing responsibilities and, as a result, we're down 13 over this time last month. So here I am, taking a very jet-lagged moment to remind you that each subscription makes a difference:

Had a wonderful time in Chengdu for Galaxycon. I took a lot of pictures, but the official convention photographs are so much nicer.

I probably took some pictures of things that they didn't, but it's going to take me a while to go through everything.

Leaving Chengdu shortly and heading to Tokyo for a very narrow connection window. Maybe I'll get home today. Maybe not. Stay tuned.

Halfway to Tokyo. More or less caught up on slush reading. Looks like the latest rejection letters dropped from somewhere near Nome, Alaska. 6 hrs 40 min to go.

It's not a problem caused by something you did wrong. It's more a coincidence that the file you uploaded contained a string similar to something the firewall company flagged as a potential security problem. If you resave the file as .doc or .docx, it may change it enough to get through.
