Lost Days – Post 9

This is the 9th installment of the book I am currently writing. It is Sci-Fi/Adventure for young adult. It is not part of the Oz Chronicle series. The first draft is completed, and it is currently under review by my beautiful editor and wife, so the final version of the book will most likely look [...]

Rejected Twitter Words

Here is a list of words incorporating the letters T and W that were rejected by the Twitter community (Twitterverse). These words were deemed too corny, sappy or stupid by the Tweople. Use these words in a tweet and you’ll come off like a total twool.
Twitler – A hater in the first degree [...]

The Georgia Bigfoot Body Duo – They’re Back & They Say They’re For Real This Time

Matt Whitton and Rick Dyer, the two Georgian bigfoot hoaxers who pulled the wool over no one’s eyes except the mainstream media last year, are back and crazier than ever. They are planning on celebrating the one year anniversary (August 15) of their bigfoot body prank with the unveiling of “real” proof of bigfoot. Allow [...]

In case you were wondering, time travel isn’t possible.

In the science fiction world, time travel is a well worn plot device among writers. I’ve even used it myself in the Oz Chronicles (unreleased versions of book 2 & 3 are absent the time jumps). Time travel is often a topic of conversation among sci-fi enthusiasts. Light speed, wormholes, psychokinetic methods, are the usual [...]

Rewrites are done so of course I will celebrate with a Seth MacFarlane student film.

Okay, the first round of rewrites are done on Lost Days. Mia (me beautiful wife) will give it a read hopefully this weekend, and if she likes it, I will send it to my agent. Why Mia? Because in addition to being my biggest fan, she’s my most ardent critic. And [...]

An oldie (almost) but a goodie viral video

I’m swimming in rewrites today so here’s a gorilla video to keep you entertained. This is a variation of the 2007 viral video campaign by Cadbury.  The original was done with Phil Collins song, In the Air.  I guess Phil objected and they pulled the video, but some other artists (music and video) put their [...]

Naked Cop Friday

Wow! Companies sure do things differently in this modern day of interwebery. Thanks to wideband bandwidth, soft drink companies are now bringing us nakedness to sell their ultra sugary beverages. Notice I didn’t say sexy. Naked is all you get here… and maybe funny. I’ll let you be the judge.

RT – The Ultimate Web 2.0 Status Symbol

I think there is no question that Twitter is taking over the universe. I realized this when my wife joined and actually seemed excited about it. This is the same woman who begged me to convince our nephew that people of our generation didn’t have Facebook accounts. I had to sheepishly explain to her that [...]

Let the Right One In – Creepy Vampire Flick

 

I haven’t been happy with the offerings in the way of vampire books and films lately. There’s a concerted effort to lift the vampire from the pages of horror books and place them squarely in the gooey center of romance books. The same is true in the cinema and television. Today’s vampires are glorified underwear [...]

Don’t Sell Me Anything!

Granted, I am really slow, but I just came to the realization that I don’t want to be sold anything. I want to be informed. I want to be dazzled. I want to be amused. I want to be delighted. But I do not want to be sold. I feel like I’m being worked when [...]
