And in the "holy crap is that awesome" category, I give you Junkie Bob. If you finished CONTAGIOUS, you know what this location is all about. If you didn't finish it, get going! Bob, you fucking rock. Click on the photo to see a bigger version. Bob said he "froze his nuts off" for this photo -- don't know if that was literal, or some kind of Perry Dawsey joke.

I did a bit of research into self-assmbling robots and programmable matter to create the crawlers in CONTAGIOUS. If you've read the novel, watch this video and you'll see that the crawler concept isn't science fiction at all, it's something that could happen within our lifetimes. With our evil lifetimes, that is.

Junkies. The Evil Queen™ (a.k.a., my wife) is in the hospital right now with a scheduled operation. She had a thyroidectomy on Tuesday, December 30. This was, of course, the day CONTAGIOUS came out, which made it a helluva day in the Sigler's world. She has a treatable form of thyroid cancer, which the thyroidectomy should cure.

This has been scheduled for about 3-4 weeks. We'd hoped to finish the Twelve Days of Sigmas, but she's feeling like crap right now, so I was at the hospital on the 30th and will be there the 31st and Jan. 1. Bowl games on the hospital TV, yeah!

Therefore, all podcasts are on hold for the short time. Evil Queen™ must recover, then get back to work, then the podcasts will commence.

Jan 2, 2009 update: Evil Queen™ is back at the Palace of Evil, and we are having a very Evil time. Well, she's sleeping like a log, but we're out of the hospital and things look good. Thanks for all the support -- the comments really surprised her and made her day. You all rule!

Here we go with the third installment of the Twelve Days of Sigmas, crewmember Kirsten Graves from the PUV James Keeling. Sometimes we look at the crewmember, sometimes we see the crewmember through another's eyes. Originated by author Nathan Lowell and edited/modified by the FDO™, this piece puts a new spin on the phrase "no means no."
