30 Things I’ve Learned in 30 Years So Far
Thirty years used to be more than a lifetime a few centuries ago – but it still sure feels like one today. Partially to honor some great people whose birthday life lessons I’ve loved reading in the past few years, and partially to add to the circus that my birthday weekend’s become this year, here […]

A Revhead’s Hangover – The Day After Fury Road
Disclaimer: Some people, when they take a sabbatical, announce it on schedule and keep professional about it. Me, I’m just like “here’s three months of radio silence due to work-and-life obligations, hope you didn’t mind too much”. It’s funny, though, what it was in the end that brought me back from the dead… (No copyright […]

The Wolf on Larping in the Great Outdoors
Since this winter seems to be a time of awful weather, unexpected temperature shifts and general emotional blahs, thinking back on the pleasure of outdoor larping seems to be the only logical thing to do. Sure, I like chamber larps and urban pervasive larping as much as the next larper, but there’s just something about going […]

I’ve never, though, held a panel – until this month’s SFeraKon 2014. Organizing a panel turned out to be one of the toughest things I’ve ever […]

The Wolf on The Kindness of Lessons
I have no idea in the seven hells where to start. Let’s just say I misplaced all of my cards and documents (minus my passport which was in another city) plus a bit of cash along with my wallet on a city bus ride sometime last week. Of course, I found out all about that […]

The Wolf on Fanfiction
Note: Pic (featured) by trancer21. Pic (above) by phoenixdown. It’s multifandom. Of sorts. Geekery (lovely word, just trying it out), at lest where I’m from, often includes some form of derivative work made by fans of a certain universe (or fandom, to be politically correct). Some larps (like, say, these) can also be seen as a […]

The Wolf on Steampunk
A lot has already been said on steampunk, and some of it quite eloquently. I wish not to invent hot water in a boiler tank (a Croatian proverb I find more than appropriate when it comes to this subject), but merely to add my own view. It’s been nearly three years since I’ve first stumbled […]
