The paperback of CHRONAL ENGINE is available today!
Today's T-shirt is from Zazzle.com and features a riff on the popular WWII slogan "Keep Calm and Carry On." I confess that I kind of prefer Churchill's formulation: "For each and for all, as for the Royal Navy, the watchword should be 'Carry on and Dread Nought.'"
But "Keep Calm and Ignore the Raptor" is pretty good, too.
The pictures were taken at Moody Gardens in Galveston last summer, at their Dinos Alive! exhibit. They basically had about a dozen animatronic dinosaurs on display in conjunction with a 3D movie - the premise of which seemed to be a bunch of folks getting lost in the past :-) (We didn't see the movie itself).
They didn't have a Velociraptor, but they did have an Ornithomimus, which qualifies as a "maniraptor," and hence "raptor." (Okay, I'm stretching it a little). Anyway, here are the pics:
