A website dedicated to gratuitous self-promotion of an author with mediocre talent.
I’ve been meaning to write about the first time I was interviewed for television. This is probably a longer-than-usual read, but stick with it because you’ll get something out of it. I promise. Back in 2002, a gentleman named Manuel Andrade was murdered in the apartment complex where I lived. He was a business owner, …
I’ve been lax about updating the website, but that’s a good thing because I’ve been busy making progress on a couple of other projects. More about that below. --- But first, a major announcement: I have changed the header image of the website to better reflect the current season here in Florida. I know, I …
Well, here we are. Boston Dynamics created a robot which can run through a park on its own. Run through a park. Check out the video because it’s pretty awesome. This also means we are way ahead of the Star Wars and Terminator worlds because their bipedal robots were slow as hell. I know a …
Work-wise, it's just one of those days. I'm typing the words, but what's coming out is nothing to flaunt. Every letter is a struggle. The thoughts in my head (yes, there are some) are swirling around like a...well, I dunno. Like a fast, windy, spinny thing. How's that? Kind of makes my point. You couldn't …
Had a really great day yesterday. Found out one of my short stories is in the top ten (number 3, ahem) for a highly-competitive contest which shall, for the moment, remain nameless.

Well, here's something cool: Wit and Wimsy nominated my site for a Sunshine Blogger Award! That's the second award I've had the privilege to be nominated for since I started this little site just over month or so ago. It's especially gratifying to be a recipient when you read what this award is all about: “The Sunshine Blogger …
Been missing in action for about a week. My son picked up the flu at school and decided to share it with Daddy. Isn’t he a lamb? Well, that’s just the type of person we’re trying to raise – a selfless giver who wants to share with others. They say those are the things that …
There’s a magnet on our refrigerator which reads, “Make Today Better Than Yesterday”. A nice but rather prosaic sentiment. Yet it does bring up an interesting (to me) point about the way perception works. The wondrous thing about perception lives in the fact that many different people giving consideration to the same object or idea …
(I hadn’t planned on writing anything for the website today, but I wanted to crank out a quick one before getting back to work.) I had some very important research to do today and turned to my old friend, Google. Here’s the list: "How long do hard boiled eggs last in the refrigerator" (Answer: 1 …
The highest compliments one can get are those from the people who do the same type of work as you. It is special because they understand the commitment, hard work, and dedication it takes to produce something worthwhile. That they take the time to give recognition is extremely flattering. That's why I was honored to …
