Like many people, I really liked Andy Weir’s book, Project Hail Mary. It was a fun read, with a solid premise, and a fast pace (from what I remember). So I was looking forward to the movie adaptation. I mean, I liked the Martian in both movie and book version. The odds of this being […]

It’s official! Denisa is starting a new job in May. She’ll be an ESL teacher for grades 3-6 at McMahon Elementary School in Lewiston. This will be a full time position, and quite the change for her (and for us). A bit of context: She got her Masters in TESOL back when we were in […]

As AI advances, it’s getting to the point now where it doesn’t just go and do what you tell it to this instant. It will also remember what you’ve told it, and act on those directions in the future. This is really just another facet of agentic AI: AI that goes and takes actions on […]

Denisa and I decided to give Orphan Black a shot two weeks ago. We finished the first season last night. Honestly, that probably sums up my thoughts on the show more than anything else. Good enough to finish the first season relatively quickly, but not good enough to blaze through it. It’s got a cool […]

Thanks to everyone for playing this year. We had 13 entrants overall, and surprisingly only one person chose Michigan as the winner. So many hearty congratulations go out to Chris Wells for winning the bracket. I’ll be sending him his book trophy soon. My personal bracket did . . . so-so. It hung in there […]

Yesterday we had some real highs and lows, as a nation. The highlight for me was definitely the opportunity to watch us launch another moon mission. The amount of science, teamwork, and effort involved in making something like that happen is incredible, and I found it very inspiring. I’ve long loved pretty much anything Space […]

Friday, Daniela got her mission call. This is a pretty Big Deal, as when you decide to go on a Latter-day Saint mission, you basically just say you’re willing to go wherever you’re needed. That could be Kentucky or it could be Hong Kong, and it’s clear that’s a pretty wide spread. You don’t put […]

Yesterday I took a trip down to Freeport High School to visit with three different groups of students. The first group had around 60 tenth graders, most of whom were boys. My goal with them was to answer questions about what I do as an author, and then to workshop a couple of writing exercises […]

I haven’t written a book review on here in a while, so to make up for it, here’s two in one day! They’re the first and second book in a series by Robert Jackson Bennett, who has really been moving up in my estimation when it comes to fantasy. I really enjoyed his Divine Cities […]

Happy Friday to you all! I’m very pleased to announce that Death in the Dark was selected as a 2026 CBC Teen Favorites winner. What does that mean, you ask? Each year, the Children’s Book Council selects over 60 schools to each receive 300-500 new books directly from the CBC. From August to February, students […]
