Anthony's Spongebob cake My wife is quite the cake baker. Caker? Caker baker? Whatever. She makes really awesome cakes. They not only look good, they taste good too (two qualities that are often mutually exclusive). The Spongebob cake was for our younger son’s seventh birthday. This wasn’t from a mold or pattern — she baked two [...] As I mentioned in a previous post, I’ve started outlining the sequel to The Sapphire Eye, called The Black Flame. It’s moving along at a decent clip for this kind of writing, and by this kind of writing I mean an outline and not the finished product. Since the outline is for my use alone, [...] Yeah, I know I’m showing my space science geekiness, but I’ve been following Hubble since the 1980s when it was being constructed. I remember it being plagued with problems, massively over budget, and when deployed the unthinkable was discovered — it was crippled by a fault in one of its mirrors. It took another space [...] My stepson Anthony started throwing up around 1:00 am (good morning to you too! I hope you’ve had your coffee!). My wife Kelly was the one who got up to take care of him.

This has been one of those days that can’t end soon enough, but I’m too wound up and generally pissed off at myself to even go to bed early. So I’m munching on a late-night bowl of Cocoa Krispies and pouring my heart out to you, the vast Internetsies. Tonight I was over at my ex-wife’s [...] Or nearly as much strain as your mom told you. I always thought LCDs with progressive scan output and fast refresh rates eliminated much of the concern about “TV being bad for your eyes,” like I was constantly told when I was a kid. I thought the old CRTs (tube televisions) were bad because they [...] This is a picture of the Rosette Nebula, courtesy of Astronomy Picture of the Day. For more information about the photograph, go here. For a full-sized version, go here or click on the image. Wouldn’t it be incredible to have something like this in our night sky? We live in kind of a quiet and boring [...] Peter Gabriel’s In Your Eyes. The studio version was tremendous, but the live version is just tremendous x 10 with a big heap o’ awesome dumped on top for good measure. Happy Valentine’s Day. Enjoy. For those of you on Twitter, I’m scheduled to be the guest author today on #scifichat. What exactly is that, you ask? It’s a Twitter group organized by publisher David Rozansky of Flying Pen Press that gets together on Friday afternoons to discuss various science fiction and fantasy related topics. I participate when I can, [...] |
