The Battle Between Science and Religion - And SciFi Is the Battleground »

This last weekend I was the Guest of Honor at LosCon, Southern California's regional science fiction convention. Between being fed In-N-Out Double-Doubles on the hour and sharing the stage with Star Trek star-turned-Uber-Geek Wil Wheaton (we explained what happened when I commissioned a black velvet painting of him as Wesley Crusher), I had an almost unspeakable amount of fun.
