I love those websites that show a picture of an intersection, maybe on a street that’s familiar, from a long time ago and then one of now. It reminds me of those drawings I used to look at in magazines, 2 identical cartoon images side by side, the same but with a few differences. The trick was to pick 10 or 15 or 20 things different from the one image to the other. Nowadays I especially love these photos if they are of New York, the New York I used to know, and then the one now.
I’m still sad. One week past Labor Day weekend and I’m already jonesing for the next DragonCon. DragonCon is the best fan-centered large sci-fi and fantasy convention there is. Spread over 5 hotels in downtown Atlanta, cosplayers, goths, gamers, geeks, writers and watchers converge on the Thursday before Labor Day to stand in a registration line that nobody likes, but everybody seems to tolerate.
