Life, the World, and All That
Video Lizard, With Meeple
I plan to do some podcasting and vlogging. Pet mice will provide a good learning project. Oddly, this ties in with tribbles and Richard Nixon in 1956. Read this post to see why!
Canada, FTW!
“Canadian, Please!” – Check this music video and get the scoop on why we all wanna be Canadian. Two claws up from the lizard for this one!
Monkey Time, Major Lance, Pet Clark, and Early Music
I collected music early on, starting at the age of 8 with a record club membership. Those tunes still inspire me and the whole of it is a hallmark for my life. Plus, sample clips here, for your listening pleasure.
Re-imaged version of “V” airs in November!
I’m rattling around back here in the cyberdust getting ready to resuscitate my regular blogging schedule. Not quuuiiiiite there yet but just came across this I wanted to share:
Science Fiction and Fantasy Dominate the 2009 Prime-Time Dramas
“V” (Starring: Elizabeth Mitchell, Morena Baccarin, Joel Gretsch and Scott Wolf)
Debuts Tuesday, November 3 at 8 p.m. EST [...]
Emerging from my cave
I hit a wall with my writing, which is why I haven’t posted here for a while. I’m torn between plot dilemmas which need to be resolved so I can conclude my book, and the need to do more freelance work to take care of mundane things like bills. The problem with book [...]
Are We a Universe, or a Speck? – the Macrocosm Inside
Turns out the universe looks like a neural network. Oddly, this is reminiscent of a vision I had when I was 7. Cool stuff.
Lizards wear t-shirts, too
Great dinosaur art t-shirt plugged here.
TED Talks and the Patterns of War
TED talks (’technology, entertainment, design’) introduce visionary ideas to a broad audience. I criticize their new Fellow program for its built-in ageism. On a different topic, there is the astounding breakthrough made by one TED Fellow, Dr. Sean Gourley, along with an international team of scientists. They have discovered mathematical patterns in warfare that make it possible to “accurately predict the likelihood of different sized attacks occurring on any given day.” Therein lies the potential to revolutionize warfare and reshape our war on terrorism.
No fiction reading allowed, so 3 new blogs instead
Ordinarily I’m a voracious reader, but when I’m at this point in a writing project I stop reading fiction entirely. I can’t bring myself to absorb other people’s stories right now, and most non-fiction reading (of which I have stacks around here) is too left-brainy. Am getting my dose of that with my left-brain blurts and posts [...]
Writing with a split personality
I suppose it was inevitable. I get so immersed in my writing – must, because I “go there” and become part of these people, ride along with them like a ghost in the night or a spy-cam with night-vision – that I Become One With The Characters. It is long since a given that I [...]
