2008 Tour Dates

2008-02-12T02:16:05Z

Microcon 28, University of Exeter, 1-2 March: I've been invited along as a guest speaker, in part at least because I was at the very first Microcon back in 1982. Sadly, my companion on that occasion, Kevin Clarke, is unable to join me, which is ...

When Franchises Collide

2006-10-10T09:38:54Z
