Reinventing the Wheel — or the Roller, Anyway
I’m a lousy typist. Given that I spent six years of my life as a journalist, and that I’ve done a fair amount of writing (fiction, the diss, the blog, freelance stuff in grad school, and so on) since that … Continue reading

Adieu, Mr. Nimoy.
I heard about the death of Leonard Nimoy this morning at lunch when the obit showed up in my e-mail. As a third-generation SF fan (and an occasional writer of the stuff), I owe Mr. Nimoy a debt of gratitude … Continue reading
Well, That De-Escalated Quickly
The latest installment of DEATHSTORM 2015 fizzled out for Mondoville. The ladies of the house are still abed, beneficiaries of a precautionary two-hour delay that was declared last night. I, meanwhile, remain on a regular schedule. Good thing I love … Continue reading

Here We Go A-Berrying
As predicted, I’m a bit bleary and hoarse this morning, having played a show last night. However, I think it was worth it. Guitarist Larry Ellis and I arrived at the venue at 6:30 for load-in; the show was scheduled … Continue reading

A Favor, Huh?
Website io9 runs an article on the “Men’s Adventure” novels that are typically seen as pulp artifacts of the 70s and 80s. The article is less than complimentary, seeing the works as nothing more than somewhat deranged hackery. Now some … Continue reading

An Amazonian Interlude
I’ve got my first weeknight gig in a couple of decades or so tomorrow night. We go on at 10 in Real City, which means I probably won’t get home til around midnight or so, which means I’ll probably be … Continue reading
