I just had the pleasure of meeting Cory Doctorow of BoingBoing fame. As anybody who is a regular reader of that blog is aware, Cory is a big fan of steampunk and the entire maker subculture that has erupted in the past couple of years.

He signed one of the bookmarks I made for the Steampunk Convention last October and mentioned that he’d even been to this site before–I’m honored!

Thanks for dropping by Chicago Cory!

Several kind readers have brought to my attention the bug that seems to be appearing on pages other than the homepage. Specifically, there seems to be an issue with the background image and some other images displaying correctly leaving a lot of white space. I’m looking into this and will hopefully have it resolved soon. If you have any suggestions as to what might be causing this, please email me at haltingpoint (at) gmail (dot) com. Thanks!
