Hey guys. I just wanted to show you something kind of cool I’ve been working on recently. As some of you may know, Philip J. Reed of BattleGrip.com has successfully received funding for a cool Kickstarter project. It’s a book called “Transforming Collections,” and it documents the world of third-party TransFormers toys. I readily […]
While most bloggers have a countdown to Halloween, I’m using a completely different approach. I’m writing a single Halloween entry. And not only that, but I’m actually writing it for someone else’s blog. Ha! Poe Ghostal’s Points of Articulation has been gracious enough to have me as a guest blogger, so check out the Cryptkeeper […]
