When the San Diego Comic-Con started in 1979, it was 400 comic enthusiasts gathered in a small section of a local hotel. Three decades later, it’s a major pop culture fixture, numbering over 125,000 attendees and filling the San Diego Convention Center to the brim.

What? You didn’t know? Mel…

Stop the Presses! It’s headline time! Can you believe it?! Fuggettaboutit!

Summer is a good time for books and book reviews, but I travel a…

One of the most inspiring people, who wrote one of the most inspiring books, as taken from one of the most inspiring lectures (now you’ve guessed him, right?) has passed away from pancreatic cancer. Neil should add him to the list of those “Done Too Soon,” but this may well be one of the most…
