Kim Dotcom is a maniac. But a smart maniac. He’s just offered every creative person on the planet 50 Gigabytes of free cloud storage! Think about it. You’re a writer. You’ve got a thousand text/document files that maybe take up a gigabyte at worst. Lose them, and you are out of business. Yes, you can […]

What Scares the Boogeyman?
I would like to joyfully announce that “What Scares the Boogeyman”, edited by the talented, and probably insane John Manning (of course he’s insane – he’s an editor). What Scares the Boogeyman will be on the shelves in February. This is a big deal, because it includes my first ever fiction sale!
Gun Control and the Constitution
Over on his blog, The Sacred Cow Slaughterhouse, Michael wrote an article about gun control, one of probably ten thousand that have been written since the slaughter at Sandy Hook. Michael is getting the mention because I think he’s a damned good writer, and I can kill two birds with one stone. Tell you to […]
Microsoft Death Watch – Winter 2013 Report Part 02
How can I say that Microsoft Corp., one of the most profitable companies ever to exist is going to go bankrupt, and actually mean it?

Parallels between the David Miscavige and Warren Jeffs
David Miscavige is the leader of the Church of Scientology (COS). Warren Jeffs is the leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS). The churches have no doctrines in common, so why do I think there are parallels between the two leaders?
Steubenville Update – Some Background for Outsiders
Over 26,000 people were on the live stream of the feed from the rally today. Many are from outside the United States, and may not have the background to understand some of the events. I’m not an American either, but my interest in law enforcement means I know a bit. If I’m wrong at any […]
Rape, Football, Bloggers, and Anonymous
There’s a firestorm happening in Steubenville Ohio. On August 11, 2012, there was a party, or maybe a series of parties. During the night a sixteen year old girl was allegedly raped.
Faux Libertarians
The recent American election was troubling. Not so much for the results, which went as I predicted back in July, but for the aftermath, which is still playing out into the New Year. What’s really interesting is that we are seeing the same complaints that we saw after the re-election of George W. Bush in […]
