Thanks for mentioning the DragonCon Boycott.
The picture of Kramer that you mention is his most recent booking photo. And there are no recent photos of this man that don’t make him look creepy–even those his defense fund sees fit to release.

Thank you very much for the kind words about Bloody Work, Moses! I also spoke for an hour this morning to a writer for CNN/HLN, for an article slated to appear on their website sometime around the 11th of February. So it looks like this film is starting to get a little momentum behind it, and I appreciate your support of it as well.
(Also FYI: My book review site is in factt SFReviews.net, not .com. Cheers!)
While I agree with Shaun when he said that people will always read paper books I just wanted to add one thought to the discussion of eBooks vs paper books. Shaun said he still prefers paper when it comes to non-fiction books. I can see if you have a nice coffee table book like “The Art of Star Wars,” or something like that – in that case I would prefer paper. Most non-fiction books are there to give you information though, and I would much rather have a search feature in an eBook than a paper book I’d have to thumb through if I was going back to a non-fic book for some information from it. Just my two cents. Great episode!
