Aliens: Hive: One of the original Dark Horse series that came out after Earth War, which was the final one I bought.

Paul Hix (Waiting for Doom, DCOCD, The Gary Show) recently had me on his podcast Dial F for Flanger. Over the course of the show, I got into the background of The Uncollecting, my collecting habits, and we also talked about getting older and what's going to happen to our stuff after we leave. It …

Part of my 1994-1995 scrapbook project. At left: an essay about being in Paris. At right: a page of all of us taking pictures of each other taking pictures at the top of The Arc De Triomphe. Among the three notebooks (and several folders of MS Word files) I have left from my personal journal …

After a really productive week, a bit of a lull, as I started two books and have spent much of my downtime watching the Olympics. But I've got a few things of note here, one of which is that my movie list grew because Kanopy put a bunch of new documentaries and other films I'd …
A little more than two years ago, I wrote about how, in the twenty years since I graduated college, I have written a lot but actually never considered myself a Writer. Much of that has to do with the lack of formally published works, which I could blame on gatekeeping if I ever actually stepped …
