Wrath of the Titans Tuesday April 3, 2012
I took a couple of hours off Monday to see Wrath of the Titans. Post-convention exhaustion meant I wouldn't be getting much done regardless, and I had an emcee gig that evening so now you have my excuse to go to the movies. I'm here to provide you an excuse… Read more
Jake Black Benefit September 12th at Dragon's Keep Thursday September 3, 2009
On September 12th, which is one week from this Saturday, a group of comics creators will descend on Dragon's Keep in Provo, Utah to help our friend Jake. Long story short: Jake Black has cancer, and insurance is covering a lot of his treatment, but not all of it. Chemotherapy… Read more
October 13, 2003 Monday October 13, 2003
Meet my new ride, a 2003 Beetle GLS 1.8 Liter Turbo. It's barely used, with 7,000 original-owner miles on it, and still carries enough warranty to make the don't-make-me-look-under-the-hood in me happy. While shopping, I looked at Volkswagens, Saturns, Hondas, Mitsubishis, and Hyundais, and did casual research on Minis, Suzukis,… Read more

Hey, look! There are two such links in this paragraph alone. There's also… Read more

The testing we've done so far has been GREAT. You've got until about 10am EST on Friday to take advantage of the Under New Management sale price, and then it goes back to being $15.00. We've uncovered a couple of issues that are going to take some time to resolve,… Read more

Las Vegas Comic-Con Update entry, I'm still here at the Las Vegas Comic-Con, and still using a dial-up connection. I'm also short on the equipment necessary to upload pictures (short one USB camera cable, to be precise), which is a real bummer because Chalain and I have some awesome pictures.… Read more
Not a Con Report: SLC Nerd Sunday March 25, 2012
I spent a chunk of Saturday at "SLC Nerd," a local (for "within 50 miles" values of "local") event that purported to offer some of what big conventions offer without the price tag or pretentiousness. I think that in a couple of years they might get it right. There was… Read more
Pre-Orders Coming in May Friday April 20, 2012
In just under one month we'll be opening pre-orders for Book 8, Schlock Mercenary: Sharp End of the Stick. Sandra is building a new shipping system for this project, but hopefully the only changes you see will be better service from us. We're still planning to do sketch editions, and… Read more

Small Press Expo -- This Weekend! Monday October 8, 2007
I will be at Small Press Expo in Bethesda, Maryland this coming Friday and Saturday. If you've been looking for the chance to get your hands on a copy of Under New Management or The Blackness Between, or if you've already got a copy and want me to deface it… Read more
Hitman: Agent 47 Monday August 24, 2015
Hitman: Agent 47 does nothing to set itself apart from other action movies, and is kind of predictable from start to finish. Still, it didn’t actually disappoint me, so it enters my list at #17, safely above the Threshold of Disappointment. Rupert Friend’s performance as the titular 47 is pretty… Read more
Get Your Wallets Ready... Tuesday September 11, 2007

It is 240 pages long, including nine pages of what one trusted pre-reader called "the most satisfying bonus story ever."

July 09, 2001 Monday July 9, 2001
After something like 10 days away from work, I'm back in my office today. My vacation should have been long enough, except for all the vomiting. I know, I know... I've probably already said too much. Anyway, I've got my work cut out for me this week. Not only do… Read more
Bargain Plasma Has No Ommminous Hummmm Friday December 12, 2008
I've wanted a wide-screen television for quite a while, and this year their prices and our income finally curved into a sort of alignment. Sandra agreed to let me have as much as a thousand dollars to spend. At first she was reluctant, pointing out that the things upon which… Read more

If you've ever considered attending the World Science Fiction Convention, WorldCon 69 in Reno, Nevada is the show for you. Why?

Good Sushi in South Orem Sunday February 25, 2007
Saturday afternoon my buddy R.J. and I went out to eat for his birthday. I mentioned that I'd seen a sushi place hanging their shingle on south State street, and he agreed to try it out. It was also an All You Can Eat sushi place. We bellied up to… Read more
