I blame Scalzi for this.
At the end of that post about how unhealthy life is for bloggers (we’re all gonna DIE) he mentioned giving them all stationary exercise bikes with laptop desks so they could do cardio while trolling the Internet. That sent me off looking to see if such things existed, because considering […]

We’re running a fun contest over on Fantasy that involves writing flash fanfiction (essentially) for classic genre tales.  We’ve got five books to give away, so I’d like to see ten MILLION entries! ;)

I was highly amused by this list of The 10 Most Insane, Child-Warping Moments of ’80s Cartoons, which I found through the Jem mailing list I’m on (shut up). It’s weird because some of the stuff at the “bottom” is far more traumatizing than the stuff at the top. I think they have […]

Just sold a flash piece to PodCastle, yay! Elf Aware, which I published way back when I was known as Finley Larkin. I wrote it for an OWW challenge — 2nd person — and sold it to Cafe Irreal.

My memory on this is sketchy, but I remember thinking it was a good idea. I never heard anything more about it, though, so I’m guessing it […]

You might think that on an occasion such as this I wouldn’t have much to say beyond “well, that’s one less right-wing person with a gun to hide from,” and yet I cannot really go there. Charlton Heston provided me with many, many (many) hours of amusement as a child and young adult. […]

Looks like the blog is back up again, thank goodness.  I’m switching hosts soon; by next weekend probably.
In happier news, the latest issue of Cerise is now live and includes my review of Diner Dash: Hometown Heroes.  If you’re a DD fan, you should download this game.  You should also play with me in Multiplayer […]
