Burning Questions
Am I crazy trying to keep up with multiple projects? Why is this post late? What the hell is left to burn in Central California? Answer 1: Yes. I must be. I mean… right? In the active queue: Heroes of Vadim 4, another monster hunter, an on-again-off-again space pirate, and a snippet of a high-magic … Continue reading "Burning Questions"

Summertime, summertime, sum… sum… summertime…
Here in California’s Central Valley, summer has well and truly arrived. I know the first day of summer isn’t technically until Sunday, but the thermometer says otherwise. We’re forecasted to be 110+ (43.3+ c, for those more familiar with that format) all most of the weekend… but hey, there’s a cooling trend coming Sunday. It’ll … Continue reading "Summertime, summertime, sum… sum… summertime…"

Pride
Yes, I’m going to talk about Pride.If you know me in the slightest (even if all our interactions are “virtual”), this really shouldn’t surprise you. June is Pride Month – a month-long celebration of learning, teaching, seeing, and being. Why June? June was when the Stonewall Riots occurred: when the LGBTQIA+ community said no more … Continue reading "Pride"

The Return
The world is collectively trying to adjust to whatever the new normal will be as we move forward in this timeline. California has seen significant improvement and is poised to stick its governmental fingers in all our ears and la la la like COVID never happened (at least, that’s how the latest “beyond the blueprint” … Continue reading "The Return"

Memorial Day
While I may be grateful for the three-day weekend, I’m one of the last people you’ll hear say “Happy Memorial Day.” There’s a reason for that. It is a time for celebration, sure, but that doesn’t necessarily make it happy. Today isn’t about barbecues and pool-parties, folks – it’s about sacrifice. It’s a day to … Continue reading "Memorial Day"

Heroes
I’ve talked a lot about superheroes recently… between working on Urban Wardens 3 and the constant stream of superheroes in the media, that’s just kind of how it works. As we look forward to the upcoming three-day weekend (and the unofficial start of summer), though, it’s important to remember that not all heroes are invulnerable. … Continue reading "Heroes"

What Is It About Superheroes?
Modern pop culture is full of superheroes. The MCU, Sony’s Marvel Studios releases, CW’s Arrowverse, Warnor Bros DCEU, Netflix’s Jupiter’s Legacy, Amazon Prime’s The Boys… it seems like everywhere you look, you see superheroes. But what’s the deal? Why are they so damned popular? Without getting into the very long, very serious sociology-in-comics lesson the … Continue reading "What Is It About Superheroes?"

Jupiter’s Legacy
I normally don’t stop to gush about a TV show… but there are very few that make me actually yell “NO!” at the end of the season knowing I have to wait to find out what comes next. I took vacation from the Day Job last week. Took a trip to the zoo. Got quite … Continue reading "Jupiter’s Legacy"
