This is probably the last blog I will be doing from home for a while. I’m not even doing this blog on my own computer, because it is currently packed away with most of my earthly possessions in a set of cars, preparing for a two-day trip down to the other side of the States. … More A New Chapter
So, I recently finished my Naruto/DCAU crossover “Connecting the Dots.” At 32 chapters, it’s the longest story I’ve ever written, and at over 1000 reviews, it is also–by far–the most popular. I’m rather proud of it. But as long as it was, there were many scenes which didn’t make it in, and I’ll be posting … More “Connecting the Dots” Deleted Scene: Parental Advice
Seriously. If you’re not an anime-loving, sci-fi obsessed geek, don’t bother reading this blog. You’ll just get fed up and leave. I may only have a 37% geek tendency, but I know when I’m being annoying. So, it’s been a while. I seriously meant to get on here two weeks ago and review X-Men … More Warning: Geeky Stuff
Not that I wish to imply you have been sleeping on the job, you’ve just been sitting in front of a computer until your brains bleed out your ears. All the effort in the world is going to waste there, wake up and smell the melted silicon. So what do I have to say about … More Rise and Shine, Mr. Video Gamer
Okay, so I’m a little daunted by doing this review for a couple of reasons. One, it’s one of those uber-classical books that’s widely read. Two, it’s one of those uber-philosophical books that’s chock full of theory and logic. And three, I finished it last week and my uber-forgetfulness will probably lead me astray, particularly … More Atlas Shrugged
Or at least Brainiac does. As he says, “A steady hand and some pioneering neurosurgery and even the most persistent troublemakers can become productive workers, Comrade Superman.” Superman is in charge of Soviet Russia. Did I mention that? I had a hard time deciding what to write about this week, not least because I missed … More In Soviet Russia, Robots Fix You!
“Rincewind, whenever he was running, never bothered about the TO. He had always considered the FROM to be more important.” That is a line from Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series, describing the eternally afraid Rincewind the Wizzard (spelling intentional). It’s a phrase very descriptive of Rincewind’s character, and indeed of the character of most of the … More The Humor of Despair
I seem to be on an unofficial bi-weekly schedule. Mostly that’s due to time constraints every other week as I rush to finish another deadline I have. I suppose I should accept that, but it seems rather annoying. I’d hoped to post every week. Anyway. Since my last post, a number of interesting things have … More The Sandman Series
Yes, I realize the relation there. Several of them, actually. Computers can turn people into zombies, and people use computers to fight zombies. Anyway, I’m using the Title because it accurately depicts the two main things I want to talk about. Item One: I have a new computer! If you followed this from my Facebook … More Zombies and Computers
…is scientifically probably the tapeworm. Economically, it’s more likely a poverty-stricken relation. From a social perspective, it can be an ex with rejection issues, and from a gastronomical perspective it can be those Mexican beans you had the misfortune to eat three weeks ago. If you’re a reform-minded politician, the most persistent parasite is probably … More The Most Persistent Parasite…
