TODAY'S NEWS: Emerald City Comic-Con was great! I saw excellent presentations from Wil Wheaton and Leonard Nimoy (who both seem like they'd be great to just hang out with), and visited with my webcomic colleagues. A big Shout Out to Awesome Readers Enesvy and Empress Chill, who found me via my tweets. They've done a podcast about their Emerald City Comic-Con experience, you can check it out here!

Monday is Cybernetic-American Awareness Day! On March 22nd, we celebrate the fourth annual world-wide celebration promoting equal rights for all Artificial Beings, such as self-aware computers, robots, cyborgs and androids. I want to post a bunch of Reader contributions to the event, so come up with your best slogan, poster, video or other artwork, and email it to contest (which is suffixed with @askdreldritch.com, naturally)! I'll try to post everything I receive, and the best ones will win signed copies of my book. What's best? Submissions with the look and feel of "awareness day" promotional materials that capture the cybernetic nature of the day, especially with a humorous twist. You can see previous CAAD comics to inspire you!

You've got all weekend, so get to it! And have a happy Cybernetic-American Awareness Day!
