On this Day of the Dude, it's appropriate that I celebrate this achievement with those who might be of like mind.

It really ties my office together.

Based on the evidence and after careful consideration, I'm pretty sure The Proclaimers never actually walked all that far.

Today, February 20th, would have marked the 100th birthday of one my favorite writers and earliest influences, the great Richard Matheson.

I AM LEGEND remains one of my very favorite novels, more than 45 years after I discovered it in my school’s library.

Jessup was a shit leader and a disgrace to the Corps.

I did a quick tally and it seems I have just 55 more days of setting an alarm on a school day for the rest of my life.

W00t.

The interview 47's FCC didn't want Stephen Colbert to run during last night's episode of The Late Show, or even talk about it.

Colbert, having examined his field of fucks and found it barren, talked about it on the show before posting the entire interview to YouTube.

Oh, sure. Throw THAT in my face, whydontcha.

I lived there when I was very young (my father was a Marine stationed at Pearl Harbor), and then I went back a few times while on active, myself. I'm long overdue for a return.

Final edits for TO DEFY FATE, my upcoming #StarTrekPicard novel, are reviewed and approved. It'll soon be on its way to the printer, then on to bookstores and (hopefully) those of you who read or listen to such things.

You can see what I've been fussing about on or about April 28th.

The Eagle Obsession | A Jeffrey Morris Film The Eagle Obsession is a feature-length documentary that investigates the origins of Space: 1999's Eagle and its ongoing global impact.

Was finally able to watch this tonight. It's a wonderful tribute to the making of one of science fiction's most iconic space vehicles. I'm just about the same age as the film's director, Jeffrey Morris, and the Eagle landed for 8-year old me the same it apparently did for him back in September 1975.

Borrowing an idea from a friend on Facebook, my pick for this year's Super Bowl MVP:

Shane Falco. Quarterback. Washington Sentinels. Not afraid to neck with the cheerleaders.

Hey. It's a write-in vote. Sue me.

As @dragonroar87.bsky.social said, novels like this (along with other types of fiction like comics, role playing games, etc.) are licensed, reviewed, and approved by the IP owner. And we get paid for such works.
