I’m reading Kris Rush’s “Diving Into the Wreck” now. I’m a bit over a third of the way through, and I have to say I’m really liking it. It’s been a nice, easy read with a compelling character and an intriguing story. Reminds me much of SF I read as a kid, but with a […]

Read More ...The Search, The Conversation
I was looking for my jump drive this morning. It was nowhere to be found. Lisa watched me with some reasonably self-contained humor as I determined that it was probably still at work. Run time up to later this morning. Here is a rough copy of an IM conversation we held. Ron: BTW, I found […]
Read More ...C-buz Interview Posted
We’ve got a local site here in Columbus (Indiana, not Ohio) that focuses on creative people in and around the local area. They just posted an interview of me, complete with some nifty photos (including one of me and Albert Einstein!). And, if you’re interested in something a little more science-y, here’s news of some […]

I was listening to a Scientific American podcast the other day while at the health club, and they ran a story about Alaskan dogs that were part of the Iditarod. Among the facts that the story gave was that these dogs burn an incredible number of calories while participating in this race, some ridiculous number […]
Read More ...Best Western
I’ve got another recommendation–this time it’s not SF at all. I stumbled upon PRI’s Selected Shorts podcast, which is a show that features various people reading short stories of some note to a live audience. Often I like the stories, sometimes I don’t. In this case, I quite enjoyed “Best Western“, a short story by […]
Read More ...Filters … Grrrrr
I enjoy work, and I support a corporate environment’s right and need to filter what their employees are allowed to see while at work. That’s all good. And I work at a place that has a very workable and professional policy toward the use of the Internet. I like that. I admit, however, that I […]
Read More ...Progress?
I hear you. Enough about Picasso’s Cat and all that stuff. What about your actual progress? Are you becoming a slacker, or what? The answer is, well, uh … maybe a little. But it’s not bad, really it’s not. At least I don’t think it to be bad. Between work and travel and spending time […]

I’ve been derelict in my duty. I should note that my friend Lisa Silverthorne has three stories available on Smashwords, including one of my favorite of her stories–“Rena 733.” I can also vouch for “When Sparrows Fall,” which has a deep power to it. But, honestly, I really, really love “Rena 733.” Try one, I’m […]

As a general rule I’ve been trying to keep this little blog mostly about my writing, with a few tangential commentaries or links to things I think have some interest to the types of people who might be interested in me. Not that I’m always right, or anything. But that’s the basic plan of the […]
