- MAGFest was this past weekend, and while I didn't go this year, I've gone in the past and really enjoyed it. Keep listening for a special music performance from the Jam Session featuring Yours Truly.
- The original creators of Star Control have used the DMCA to stop the current owners of the Star Control franchise from selling their game on certain digital storefronts. They may not have a case.
- Skype calls failed again for whatever reason, but we were able to talk to OLR about their hopes and dreams for 2019.

I hope to talk about the Festival more in greater length but this was one of the better MAGfests that I attended in the many years I have gone. Despite the hotel situation where I had to stay at a hotel 2 miles away and had to shuttle/Rideshare back and forth the whole weekend, it ended up being very manageable.
The funny story about the Brony-Con lanyards. In the "Stories behind MAGfest" Panel they spoke about those lanyards. It turns out that their usual supplier of the festivals lanyards was unable to deliver this years lanyards on time. So MAGfest made a quick deal with Bronycon (who had staff at MAGfest) who sold MAGfest their lanyards. Amusingly enough the next day (Thursday morning) their usual lanyards arrived and were swapped out and the left over BronyCon lanyards were sold back to them.
