Media Diet for 1.21.25

I’m in the middle of another Stormlight Archive book, so nothing new that I’ve read this week. (Honestly, I think I deserve some credit for being 1,000 pages into Oathbringer in a week. I will definitely (definitely) be picking some shorter books after these 5.) More things to report on the TV/Movie front: Penguin 1–The […]

A New English Composition Course

I’ll actually be teaching not one, but TWO courses this semester. One will be a team-taught course focused on Artificial Intelligence: the philosophy behind it and application of it. I’ve known about that one for a while, and I’m very excited for it. We’ll be exploring multiple platforms, and it will give me a chance […]

Art vs. Artist, Neil Gaiman, and Idolizing Strangers

I have long been a proponent that you need to separate the art from the artist. An artist can do or say things that are repugnant to you, but that shouldn’t necessarily influence you one way or the other when it comes to their art. Woody Allen and Michael Jackson were two examples I liked […]

Media Diet for 1.13.25

I want to try a bit of a different approach for the blog for some posts. I’d like to get in a bit of a pattern for a topic or two. Right now, my thought is that each Monday, I’ll fill you in on what I’ve been doing from a reading, writing, and playing perspective. […]

Teaching Myself to Code

I don’t usually add new goals to my list when January comes around, but this year I’m making an exception. I want to make an iPhone app. (Funnily enough, most people when they hear that assume it has something to do with cats. Nope. This one is decidedly cat-free.) It’s not an incredibly complicated app […]

Setting Up a Store

Okay, folks. I’m working on finally setting up an online store where people can buy signed copies of my books directly from me. As I’m doing it, I have to decide all sorts of details like . . . how much to charge for shipping. You’d think this would be relatively easy, but I’ve been […]

Seen and Read in 2024

I just came across this post from director Steven Soderbergh detailing everything he saw and read in 2024, and I really liked the way he broke it out. I liked it so much that I decided to do the same thing this year with my year in review, detailing everything I consumed, and not just […]

On Bad Reviews (and Hello Again!)

Hiya everybody! Here we are in 2025, and I’m ready to get back into the swing of things. I want to start things off by a look back on my watching and reading in 2024, as I am wont to do. Before I go into that, though, I wanted to write for a bit about […]

Holiday Hiatus

It’s that time of year. The time when I start really kicking things into gear for the holidays. I take time off from work, so you’d think I’d have tons of time for everything else I need or want to do, but . . . that’s not how it ends up, a lot of the […]

Christmas Specials, Then and Now

Last night we watched the Charlie Brown Christmas special, and I reflected back for a bit on how much things have changed since the times when I used to watch that as a kid. Not just the fact that it’s one of the few overtly religious kids Christmas specials out there, but how back in […]
