Another of my friends has succumbed to the inevitable and started a weblog, this time my Austin, Texas-based pal Alan R. Weiss. Alan is a tremendous dynamo of a character; he is a former vice president of the Free State Project and still closely involved in that venture. Alan is also a businessman an innovator who has harnessed cutting-edge venture capital financing techniques to accelerate the writing achievements of noted libertarian author and campaigner, L. Neil Smith. My girlfriend and I spent a wonderful long weekend in Austin staying with Alan's great family last September during a marathon trip around the country. I can strongly recommend Austin as a place to visit.

Oh, and he is also a big Firefly fan. Does the guy have no flaws?

I am anxiously awaiting Serenity

Now you just have to get him off LiveJournal

Yes, I was thinking the same thing Beck. I hope Serenity is good and they don't mess it up.

I'm waiting for Serenity too. I hope they do justice to it.

And El Neil is my main man!

So...

Jewel Stait, Gina Torres, or Morena Baccarin?

Discuss.


Posted by CedarFever at February 7, 2005 05:06 PM

Jewel is the Willow of Firefly, i.e. the person who is cute and sweet and loveable and who you can use to instantly get the audience to care when you put her in danger.

Gina Torres is the strong capable one, the one you can count upon to save your ass.

Morena— why did she want to straighten her hair? Why? Anyway, I woud dearly love to see her as Saavedra in a good adaptation of The Golden Key. Or even just a "book trailer"— a movie-style trailer to promote a book.
