1. I’ve been told by my e-mail host, Fastmail, that there’s a catastrophic disk outage that’s playing havoc on their site, and I’ll be unable to access the ray@raycornwall.com email for at least a day. So I’ll be slow to respond to emails this weekend.
2. I’ve changed some of the tags around on the sidebar.
3. [...]

Adams has lost his voice due to a bout with spasmodic dysphonia, a condition where the brain forgets how to speak in a normal voice. You can sing, shout, and speak in public, but normal talking is impossible. There are no documented cases of recovery.
Until now.
This is an amazing story. Rather than gloat about his [...]

We blew up the blog real good, didn’t we? I’d like to thank Omer Kakarca for designing the theme. There is still some work to be done (the logo’s pretty hideous), but I like the new layout, and I hope you do too. Drop a comment if you see any bugs.

From Warren Ellis’s Bad Signal, with his permission:
Okay.  I just this second got the go-ahead from Nick Lowe to talk about this.  So here we go:
Sales on the singles are okay, if not great. Sales on the first collection have apparently been terrific.  
We were on such a roll with NEXTWAVE that I was [...]

I could take that copout, you know. 30 in Hexidecimal would work out to 48 in base ten, and I’d have a few extra days, and I could pretend it all worked out.
But I’d be denying one truth that I don’t want to deny- 35/30 worked for me in the most important ways. Sure, I [...]

eBay announced last week that it’s clamping down on pre-order sales on Playstations 3s and Nintendo Wii consoles. Last year, when the Xbox 360 came out, numerous eBay buyers were hurt when they tried to buy consoles through such auctions, only to suffer when sellers couldn’t deliver the product.
This is a responsible move on eBay’s [...]

This post tries to wrap up all the loose ends in Civil War to explain the behaviours of Tony Stark and Reed Richards. Nice piece.
I haven’t forgotten 35/30, but it’s been ambushed by, of all things, Essential Luke Cage 1 and what might be the funniest Doctor Doom story EVER. More tonight.

So back when I started 35/30, I vowed to write something on all the books in the pile, read or not. With about a week to go, the pile’s huge, and I’m going to take a stab at the unread pile.

Truthfully, this is a tough month. There’s a lot of books on the unread [...]

Since the relaunch of the Marvel Masterworks program in 2003, Marvel has priced the books at $49.95 for books with the new silver bookjacket design and $54.95 for books with the original marble design. Starting in January, the price will be $54.95 for either edition, but the bindings will be sewn, rather than glued. I [...]

Go here. The interview was in support of Neil’s new project, Fragile Things, a collection of short stories.
He’s not kidding about the lines at his signings, either; I’ve waited 5 hours to get an autograph from him before. And he was as charming at midnight as he was during the 7 pm reading. He’s definitely [...]
