Trials in Transit
The following is what I remember from a vivid nightmare I woke up from on the morning of Feb 15, 2023: Riding on a city bus (or was I on the front of the bus?) It was heading downhill through an unusually narrow, yet brightly lit tunnel. I could see ahead of the bus there […]
Atlantean Wavelengths
I suppose I have to announce that I have a new poetry book out. Yes, at only 37 pages in length, Atlantean Wavelengths is a rather compact volume. However, it is condensed and (in my opinion) substantially better quality than much longer works I have released previously. With a few font and spacing tricks I […]
Time Waits For One Man
It will be a sad day when I run out of late 70’s-early 80’s made-for-tv movies (that I haven’t already seen) to watch, but then I will most likely just watch my favorite ones over and over like I do with everything else. One such gem is a forgotten 1980 “science fiction” classic, The Girl, […]
Discussing “The Star Maker” (1981) on The Doll Parts Podcast
Nina and I discuss “The Star Maker,” a two-part, 1981 made for tv movie starring Rock Hudson, Melanie Griffith, Suzanne Pleshette, Teri Copley and Kristian Alfonso. I’ve become fascinated with Rock Hudson’s late career films, which he made toward the end of his life. The made for tv movies in particular have an ominous quality […]
The Vegas Strip War
Despite the fact that Rock Hudson is one of my all-time favorite actors, I had been on the fence about whether to watch what was supposedly his last feature film, a largely forgotten made for TV movie called The Vegas Strip War. It was filmed in 1984, only a year before the Hollywood legend’s death […]
Adaptive Eccentricities and Strategic Social Distancing
Recently on Twitter, someone told me they had forgotten that I was a writer, even though my writing was the reason they originally began following me a few years ago. They were implying that I had either stopped writing or had altered my content to such an extent that I was no longer recognizably producing […]
Block and Awe – Clearing Out the Riff Raff
Though I don’t typically block people I debate or argue with on Twitter, I have recently arrived at the realization that there are so many accounts out there whose content I could do without ever seeing again. I don’t have a lot of patience for fools or pests, and I get tired of seeing certain […]
Decentralized Finance in Stereo!
Mainframe ($MFT) has rebranded as HiFi Finance. I bought into this project last year, originally on the strength of their domain name but also due to the fact that they were one of the earliest to enter into the DeFi space. Rather then rush something into market, they have taken their time in fine tuning […]
The Desk
It might seem a bit odd for someone who has been writing almost nonstop since 1995, but I have not owned a desk in a very long time. The last desk I owned was one that I purchased either at Savers or Goodwill for about $20 in the summer of 2010. It was a small […]
At the LBRY
For both content creators and regular users, there has been an increasing demand for alternatives to Youtube and various other “Big Tech” social media platforms. Having used sites like Vid.me (now defunct), Gab, Parler, and BitChute, I’ve recently decided that one of the more promising “new media” creations is LBRY. LBRY insists that it is […]
