I mean, with the guidance, assistance and hand-holding of my girlfriend, I sorted out every inch of my cave and found a bunch of crap I'd long forgotten...such as a 1998 issue of the punk super-zine MAXIMUMROCKANDROLL. The reason I kept the issue ... http://maassive.com/?p=1182 I no longer write for SciFiWire.com. The reason is this: Days before San Diego Comic-Con, the largest nerd gathering in the world, the web site suddenly changed its name to Blastr.com. Now I write for Blastr. In rolling out the new brand the editor's explained that "SciFiWire" was something they invented during a brief ... http://maassive.com/?p=1156 Twice in the last 24 hours my stories have made it on the tube. Last night, the local NBC affiliate ran a follow-up to my investigation of a laboratory containing hazardous materials that was abandoned by defense contractors.

They're following the coast of the Atlantic---from Britain, ... http://maassive.com/?p=1095 What's a personal blog without a little puppy porn? In this video, Marlowe shows off her circus act, including her latest trick, jumping through hoops. http://maassive.com/?p=1089 For Emily Alpert, Voice of San Diego's virtuoso education reporter: You get them wrong before you meet them, while you're anticipating meeting them; you get them wrong while you're with them; and then you go home to tell somebody else about the meeting and you get them all wrong again ... ... http://maassive.com/?p=1087 I admit I was worried. Now I admit I was wrong. The world has not ended. Before I go any further, I'll just go ahead and issue a big, bold SPOILER ALERT.
