Next update Jun 15<\/em><\/p>\n

Welcome to June. It’s hot in Austin (surprise); the Mavs and Heat are battling it out in the NBA playoffs (2006 redux),\u00a0and the Vancouver Canucks just took game one of\u00a0the NHL playoffs. Wait a minute…<\/p>\n

Should they really still be playing hockey in June? They started the NHL season before the NBA, now there’s a chance they’ll finish after the basketball is over – that just seems wrong.<\/p>\n

But a team moving back to Winnipeg next season seems so right. Hey, it’s Winnipeg – they don’t have anything else to cheer about; they NEED the NHL. (Now I’ll get a bunch of angry e-mails from folks in Winnipeg. Well, unless they don’t have the internet up there yet.)<\/p>\n

Okay, you didn’t come here so I could mock a Canadian city most of you have never heard of, or to read my commentary on various sporting events. (My golf game is coming along nicely,\u00a0by the\u00a0way.) So let’s see what I can dig up in more relevant news.<\/p>\n

E3<\/a>, one of the biggest video game trade shows of the year, is coming up next week in LA. Sadly, I won’t be there, but BioWare is sure to have a presence. I can’t really comment on what may or may not be shown or said, but in my next update I’ll post\u00a0a recap. (By which I really mean I’ll post links to other sites’ recaps; the internet is all about relinking other sources and calling it “reporting”. Go, go Huff-Po<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

However, while I won’t be at E3, it does seem like I’m going to be at Comic Con <\/a>in San Diego\u00a0again this year. Not sure of my exact schedule yet, but I’ll announce any panels or signings as they get set up. Subscribe to my Twitter<\/a> feed to stay up to date with any last minute changes to my schedule.<\/p>\n

They’ve also announced an official release date for Revan – November 15! And, they’ve released a brief teaser<\/a> for the plot. Don’t worry, nothing too spoiler-ific in there. But you can now start pre-ordering the novel at places like Amazon<\/a> or Barnes\u00a0& Noble<\/a>. And remember – Revan will be released in hardcover,\u00a0e-book and audio book format!\u00a0Why not\u00a0get one of each?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Okay, I guess that’s all I’ve got for this week. If you sent me an e-mail, please be patient – I will get to you. I’m about three weeks behind, but I’m trying really, really hard to catch up. (Well, at least one “really”. Maybe not two. That would probably mean I skipped some golf and that just ain’t going to happen.)<\/p>\n
