On the Sliding Scale Of Cynicism Vs. Idealism, I like to think of myself as being idyllically cynical. (Patreon, Ko-Fi.)

The Cover Art/Convention Survey: The Winning Story & Destination Are... (plus expense breakdown & backup plan) · 5:21pm March 9th

I promised a transparent vote. As such, I took screenshots of the Google Surveys results. However, those images are currently being hosted by the chat server, and nothing else. Those links have a nasty tendency to break, and I may have to replace them several times.

...I swear this isn't stalling.

Final voting day: 2024/5 Convention/Cover Art All-Followers Survey · 11:51am March 8th

Final notice: you can vote through midnight Eastern Standard Time today, aka 'March 8th'. After that, the polls close.

As of this writing, there are 116 ballots in. Last year's total was 125, and I'd really like to beat that. (I really wanted to see a 10% voter turnout as compared to my follower count, but... dreams.) And if you don't make your voice vote-heard now, then you don't get to complain about the results after.

(Blog repost) All-Followers Survey: The 2024/5 Convention Ko-Fi Drive & Destination Pick, plus Choose Harwick's Next Cover Art Story! · 10:21am March 5th

I'm reposting this because the original intent was to have this blog visible from the userpage until one day before voting deadline: at that point, I was going to put up a One Day Left To Vote blog entry. Apologies for the extra notification.

As of this writing, there are ninety-nine ballots in. I'd like to beat last year's total, which was 125. Two hundred is the dream.

Crisis fundraiser signal boost: SkeeterTheLurker · 10:38pm March 3rd

I need to establish a basic fact immediately: this is my fault.

I wanted to leave the convention/art poll blog on my front page for the full voting period. Total attention on that. Nothing else. (Please vote.) I was deliberately putting off any other blogs until after the results went up. Which meant I had to hope for no emergencies, crises, disasters, or anything darker.

The Galacon/Sicily trip, Part 7: Taormina to Trapani: raising a carabiner crop · 4:57pm February 29th

I'm launching the 2024/5 all-followers MLP convention poll tomorrow. This is going to mean struggling with Google Surveys. And I've been wondering: would I rather battle against a program which is designed to torment the user, or try to cross Sicily via mass transit again?

...
...I swear I'm thinking it over.

Hello, insomnia. So much for hoping you'd gotten stranded on the other side of a border.

The Galacon/Sicily trip, Part 6: Taormina: and @$#% you too, Siri · 10:22pm February 28th

Announcement for the few people who read the travel blogs: I'm going to start the all-followers poll and Ko-Fi drive for a 2024/5 MLP convention destination on March 1st. The recaps will resume and wrap on the other side of that date. I just don't want to put off poll launch beyond that point.

The Galacon/Sicily trip, Part 5: Nicolosi and Catania: one perfect moment · 8:34pm February 27th

The past is another country. They do things differently there, because they don't know what's coming.

For starters, they still think trusting their tablet's GPS is a good idea.

The Galacon/Sicily trip, Part 4: Catania to Nicolosi: real air · 8:36pm February 26th

In the present, I've been trying to consider the near-future.

The 2024 ('25?) convention destination all-followers voting poll will launch almost immediately after the travel blogs wrap up: I'm hoping for March 1st there. It'll run for a week, and will determine where I try to go next. Y'all pick that. I get one vote and break any tie, but the follower votes are the actual determining factor.
