I've always got several projects going on ...

I try to write and release a short story every few weeks through the Kindle and Nook publishing platforms. This helps me stay creative and satiate my need for playing in different genres. I'll write horror one week, humor the next, and then inspirational after that. I love to read in all genres, so it makes sense that I enjoy writing in them, too.

Speaking of the Kindle, I've removed my 18-part Dr. Nekros serial from that platform and am currently shopping it around to literary agents as a collected epic edition. It's a tough sell because it had already been published incrementally, but I know it will eventually find a home. I mean, who wouldn't want to read about a ghost hunter, a haunted car, a demon ... and an ex-wife?

Finally, I just finished the first draft of a novel. It's got a long way to go, but it feels good to lay the foundation. As mentioned earlier, I hate being stifled by genre, and this novel is a perfect example of that. Once it's ready for literary agents, I'm not sure how I'm going to present it. It's about love, self-realization, moving on, and ghosts communicating through the ether.

Combine all of that with full-time teaching and two small children, and you've got a busy guy! I'm the luckiest man in the world. (less)

AI Is Not Better Than Us

I’m a big proponent of artificial intelligence.

I use it regularly. I teach others how to use it. I believe it has enormous potential to change the way we work, learn, create, and solve problems.

But I don’t want to call it “Super Intelligence.”

The president recently announced his preference for replacing “artificial intelligence” with “super intelligence,” arguing that the word artificial makes the
