|| Well, this is a bit embarrassing, but I totally forgot to let all of you know that one of my stories was published in the 2017 Fark Fiction Anthology, Through a Scanner Farkly. My story is called "Awkward Vitae" and it's about a very British patent attorney who is a bit under-prepared in … Continue reading Through a Scanner Farkly

Star Wars Thoughts Part I: PHASMA
|| One of the first movies I saw in theaters was Star Wars when I would have been around 4. I don't remember much of that first viewing, but I knew enough of the movie (and the toys!) to instantly recognize the commercial for Empire Strikes Back. I remember watching the Millenium Falcon dodge around asteroids, and … Continue reading Star Wars Thoughts Part I: PHASMA
War of the Worlds: Retaliation Kickstarter
I'd like to give a shoutout to John Rust and Mark Gardner's War of the Worlds: Retaliation Kickstarter. Not satisfied with letting the common cold wipe out the invading Martians, Earth launches their own assault against the Red Planet. BUT- The Martians are not without their own last, desperate plan... Soon enough you'll be able to … Continue reading War of the Worlds: Retaliation Kickstarter
Pride
I recently had the honor and privilege of marching in Portland's Pride Parade. My office was marching with a local community group who invited us to accompany them, and flying the magnificent flag you see here. While our office has been participating for the last several years, this was my first time. I haven’t gone … Continue reading Pride
Star Trekique
|| Good news everyone! I have an opinion about Star Trek to share with the Internets! I know the Internet isn't exactly lacking in Star Trek opinion pieces, but I just finished watching through all of Star Trek: The Next Generation courtesy of Netflix, and so it seems like an appropriate time. TNG had been … Continue reading Star Trekique
Verbosity’s Vengeance
Verbosity's Vengeance: A Grammarian Adventure Novel by Tony Noland Tony Noland's Verbosity's Vengeance is a comic book wrapped in novel form. It has the fast pace of a comic, the vivid action sequences, and the larger than life challenges and heroism. But, by having it in novel form, all of the characters and events unfold … Continue reading Verbosity’s Vengeance
Deadpool
Before the Deadpool movie hype started, I had never heard of the comic. I am a late bloomer to comics in general, so almost all of my Superhero knowledge has come from either movies or cartoons. Deadpool was pretty much the same, except I did manage to read a couple of his later comics the … Continue reading Deadpool
The Force is Still Awake
|| I had the awesome joy of taking my parents to see Star Wars Ep VII: The Force Awakens last week. My Dad took me to every one of the Original Trilogy shows when I was a kid, so being able to take him and my Stepmom to the latest iteration was fantastic. As good … Continue reading The Force is Still Awake
The Force Awakens
The Force has Woken Up Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens **** || The Force is not just awake, it's up, brewing coffee, and making waffles. I saw it last week after diligently avoiding trailers, rumors, and anything online that looked like it might even remotely reference it. Although I did watch the first … Continue reading The Force Awakens
The Martian – ****
The Martian **** || I saw The Martian today after having read the book a month or two ago. There were at least a couple catastrophes in the book that the movie avoided but, realistically, it would have been a 3 1/2 hour movie, at least, if they hadn't. Instead what the movie did capture … Continue reading The Martian – ****
