I officially got burnt out today while on one of [livejournal.com profile] pheromone's Zendo rules... between my already-documented uneasiness about playing too many games right now and, more immediately, my own case of Arisia Plague (insert nose-blowing sfx here), it just melted my brain (though the rule is in fact a very nice one), and I bowed out and worked on Book in the corner until it was time to go to the one Scott McCloud-involving panel I had managed to not miss.

Today's moment of !! came when I shyly introduced myself to him after the panel, giving him my card and noting that a link from the URL printed thereon had a lot of stuff about this ComicsML project of mine. This caused his eyes to light up, and he said, "Ah, so you did that!" And he shook my hand. Eeeee. So I hope that maybe I can start some dialogue with him about that, later.

[livejournal.com profile] queue said, "See, I'm telling you, you're becoming this famous person now." I told him in all honesty that I have been vaguely famous since 1999, when I first got slashdotted for my Mac open source catalog, and that I become vaguely famous for some other Internutty thing I do, every so often, though never with any reference to previous vague-famosities. "I am the... I am a Forrest Gump of the Internet", I said, for I know the net must house many Gumps, and probably a few live in my immediate social circles, too. Perhaps you are one.
