I have yet to play the cult classic Deadly Premonition or the bizarre-looking D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die, but I’m intrigued by the next game from their developer.

Hidetaka Suehiro, also known as Swery, has revealed that his next game (with his new studio, White Owls) is a mystery RPG called The...

Much like with prospectors at the peak of California’s Gold Rush, there was a time when writers rushed to self-publish because they saw other writers striking it rich when editors at traditional publishing houses spotted their books and signed them to lucrative deals. I understand the temptation....

Seven years ago, James Cameron did an interview with MTV discussing his forthcoming Avatar novel, and while doing so, pissed all over the work done by people who novelize movies. Y’know, like me. The punchline to this is that Cameron never finished the novel, having apparently realized that writi...

A volte il mondo dell’editoria mi lascia perplessa. Ad esempio capita che una casa editrice pubblicizzi tantissimo, online e non, libri che lasciano il tempo che trovano, e invece non pubblicizzi altri titoli già bestseller all’estero e già amatissimi e molto più validi. E mi chiedo perchè. Dopot...

I read Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant’s book Option B: Facing Adversity, Building Resilience, and Finding Joy a few weeks ago. It’s a must read for every human on this planet.

Some of you know that I’m a huge fan of Adam Grant. His book Give and Take: Why Helping Others Drives Our Success is a key...

The other day I posted my most popular tweet of all time. I didn’t really mean to but, as with most things on the internet, it’s never the tweet or the post that is most important to you that catches on like wildfire. In this particular case I was at Anderson’s Bookstore in Naperville to see Jaso...

In an interview on Unbelievable? with Justin Brierley, I had the opportunity to speak with a skeptic who cited Luke’s description of Quirinius (Luke 2:1–3) as a historical contradiction. Luke wrote that Joseph and Mary returned to Bethlehem for a census and “this was the first census taken while...

It’s Squatter’s Rights Wednesday! Though, at this point, it’s more of a sublet than anything. I was planning on writing something snarky and funny today, but I woke up with the first sentence of this blog screaming in my head. Clearly, someone forgot to give my muse her decaf.

Naturally, though, w...

I’ve kept it under wraps now for a long time…..

[image error]Hi, friends and readers:

At least once a week I like to post some of my favorite black-and-white photos for your viewing please, and I’m putting two up this morning that I really like.
