Years ago, I wrote a blog post with my favorite ten scifi films. I thought it would be fun to update and revise that list, but in doing so I have expanded it well beyond ten. These are listed in chronological order because my brain is not good at ranking the things is...

As it has been so long since my last post, I thought I’d share some of the media I have been consuming. These are not ranked in any order and there are no stars. My brain does not evaluate art like that. I read the book series (Wool) this show is based on by...

It’s been a while since I posted here. Life has been busy. Moving house among other things. Writing has been slower than I would like, but that is always the case. Because time is always limited, I thought I’d post something that has been sitting on my...

This review of Amazon’s Wheel of Time TV series is terribly late. I posted a version of it on facebook months ago and in my newsletter, but I figured since the series is still getting bad reviews on Amazon from disgruntled book fans, I would add it here. I love...
