Yesterday I was profiled at a website called Tweeple Blog – a blog which runs profiles of Twitter users. From my time working as a journalist, I am more than familiar with writing profiles, much more so than being the one on the other end. Being profiled was certainly a first for me. The profile [...]
Hey! It’s my reaction to the last night’s episode of Lost. You know, the one named after a character from the Archie comic? Did I just date myself? Again, the jump there will be spoilers. There will be theories. There will be analysis. Why? Because I love that stuff. Let’s Talk Lost 5.03 “Jughead” from [...]
When I first decided to make a second valiant attempt at writing long form fiction, I was hesitant to address the topic of my brewing works with strangers. All of the half-hearted, and drunken attempts that I’d mustered since the war, the ones that now lay strewn about my office collecting dust in black binders [...]
Sometimes a problem or project just seems too large to delve into. Concepts are too obtuse. Situations simply too large. Gravity, or the need for gravity, keeps some ideas flat on the ground while the others hover ahead, just out of reach. No matter how wide your arms are, there’s no getting them around the [...]

A CNet article started making the rounds on Thursday, and it ties together some of the facets of my last two featured articles – profanity and eBooks. As many iPhone owners are perhaps aware, there are a handful of eBook readers available for the device, most of which are available through the App store. David [...]
Virginia, like much of the country, was recently hit with a cold spike that had many cigarettes dying half smoked on the front porch and whiskey serving as a cheaper alternative to high heating bills. However, as the weather reported the nightly lows dipping into the single digits, adding another blank to the bed seemed [...]
Two days ago, the world suffered the loss of enigmatic and reserved Irish-American actor Patrick McGoohan. McGoohan is best known for playing the lead in the cult-classic counterculture television series The Prisoner. Of course, if one were to be remembered by just one television show, the Prisoner is perhaps as best a choice as any. [...]
There are probably as many ways to be a jerk in social media as there are in meatspace, however I’ve noticed a recent trend that can only be replicated online. The tactic is simple – follow someone. Wait for them to follow you back. Immediately unfollow them. The result? You are at best a douche, [...]
