Yeah, it’s been a while since I’ve posted. Wanna make something of it? I, for one, don’t feel like delivering the apologia that normally accompanies a black hole of several months between blog posts. Suffice it to say 2010 was a year of getting along, plugging through and all that. It just wasn’t a year, [...]
I was talking trees with some people at Viable Paradise — sorry, it’s all sadly becoming a blur now — and thought I would share an image of the giant redwood outside my front door. Multiple images, actually, since I could not fit the whole thing in one shot. (Linked rather than embedded to prevent [...]
Apologies to anyone who is actually attempting to view this blog on the web today rather than via syndication. I finally decided to update my much out-of-date WordPress installation, and things got a wee bit JUMANJI. The posts should be back at least; now please bear with me for a bit while I tweak the [...]
Just discovered that Tony Iommi signed a deal to launch a Black Sabbath horror movie franchise! Mike Fleiss of the Hostel series is apparently involved, so maybe it won’t be a complete crap-fest. I’ll give them the benefit of a doubt, since Tony is one of my all-time heroes in life! No, I’m not kidding.
Maybe they want to kick some butt? Of course, they do! But I’m the one with the Tesla Cannon. Just finished Mothership Zeta last night — billed as the supposed final add-on DLC for Fallout 3 — and thoroughly enjoyed it end-to-end. This has to be the most unabashedly geekified game of all time, replete [...]
This weekend I finally got around to re-posting my Muzak page, after hacking together a version of the XSPF player that doesn’t break my WordPress theme. Check under Pages and be very afraid. One of these days I may even get around to posting a Writing page.
Random, unsolicited advice on the streets of Berkeley this afternoon. Thanks, kind stranger.
Caught Carrie Fisher’s one-woman show Wishful Drinking last night, apparently the final night before it heads to Broadway. Hilarity ensued throughout; it was especially amusing to hear George Lucas’ rationale for why no one could wear underwear in space (apparently one would wind up “strangled by your own bra.” Who knew?) Meanwhile, back in Trying [...]
Oh, Google, what did we do before you came around? Yes, it’s a great initial research tool, but it’s also a source of endless hilarity… and can make one ponder the future of civilization when these are the questions that keep people up at night.
Forty years ago, we went to the moon! (Pow, Alice!) How time flies. I stumbled across the NASA film archives while doing research for a novel. If you’ve never checked it out, spend a few minutes with these digitized 16mm films from the Apollo program. (Does anybody remember celluloid?) Incredibly fun and informative stuff. Where [...]
