Some new tunes and some new writing. That’s what I have to show for myself today. If I had the freedom to do so, I’d spend most of my time writing songs and stories. However, life… Life is messy. And persistent. After a while you become the metaphor for a hastily made-up sad clown failing … Continue reading "Tunes and Writing"

Rise of the Farmboy is the first book in my new humorous epic fantasy series Ruin Raiders. From the Amazon description: Ben just wanted to join the army, punch some goblins, and retire with a plot of farmland and a wife prettier than the tavernkeeper’s daughter. Instead, he finds himself on the run from the … Continue reading "Rise of the Farmboy"

The new humorous fantasy book is almost ready to publish. That is… as soon as the artistic combat between myself and the cover is concluded, I will publish. However, I’m not sure who is winning the battle at this point. Here’s a truncated look at the current version, minus the lettering and a big portion … Continue reading "New Humorous Fantasy Book"

Our dinner table, last night, was the scene of a lively discussion about UFOs. The current term used is UAP–Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena–but I prefer the term UFO, as UAP makes me think of the upper peninsula of Michigan, rather than mysterious objects in the sky. At any rate, I bet a large number of people … Continue reading ""

The Places We Know is a song I wrote about six or seven years ago as part of my Inflatable Hippies project. It’s somewhat about mortality, a little bit about fate and free will, a bit about where we end up in life. Or after life. Plus a tiny reference to Philip Jose Farmer and … Continue reading "The Places We Know"

Interesting to see that Brandon Sanderson and Apple have signed a deal to bring some of his works to screen. It’s even more interesting to see that Sanderson has secured the right to control the process, from writing scripts, controlling creative approvals, casting, etc. That’s a relief, as Hollywood is incredibly adept at ruining book … Continue reading "Sanderson and Apple"

Another collection of free ebooks in science fiction and fantasy, including my Fury Clock. Please take a look and see if there’s anything that strikes your interest. Etymology or linguistics? Specifically, which branch of science (if is actually is a science) governs the study of linguistic expressions? Off the top of my head, I guess … Continue reading "Free science fiction and fantasy in February"

I’m pretty confident we are well past the dawning of the age of AI. We’re most likely somewhere in the lunch hour or even past noon. Perhaps we’re in the afternoon siesta–that time of day when we’re all taking a nap indoors or in a hammock under the shade, while the AI server farms are … Continue reading "The Lunch Hour of AI"

Things is the name of a piano piece that my sixteen-year-old just wrote for his end-of-semester recital at the local junior college. He was somewhat hesitant about taking the class when we discussed it back in August, but he seems to have mostly enjoyed it, now that the semester is in the rear view mirror. … Continue reading "The Piano of Things"

All the world’s a stage, as the bard remarked. That was in As You Like It, and the ironic thing is that the world truly is a stage, whether you like it or not, so that particular truth does not exist as you like it. Truth simply exists. There’s no other way to argue existence. … Continue reading "All the World’s a Stage"
