do you know, do nerds of color exist as a group any more? because if they do, i want to talk to them about minicon.

Good question. Juliana Pegues (the NOC member I know best, apart from Mr. Worra) just had a baby quite recently, which I'm guessing is occupying a fair amount of her time. I'd try Bryan on Facebook.

Very insightful and well-written.

Which doesn't explain how it made it into the Star Trib...
but I like it!

I think they just link to a couple of blogs - that's my best guess anyway!
