Fiction Friday – The Dragonslayer’s Sword

I met Resa Nelson at the Great New England Steampunk Exhibition a few weeks back.

Sitting at one table was Resa, smiling at people, engaging in casual conversation with ones who stopped. I […]

Nuance – The Art of Subtle Censorship in American Culture

I spent the day of 9-3-11 in Exeter, New Hampshire at their 3rd. Annual UFO Festival along with Illustrator X and The Dead Redhead. Yes, I know, kooks and octogenarians with tin foil hats, right?

Fiction Friday – RIP Michael S. Hart

As well you may ask, “Who was Michael Hart and of what importance was he to Fiction Friday?” Mike was the inventor of e-books, founder of Project Gutenberg and a self-professed “Copyfighter”. I have extolled Project Gutenberg many times. It has far reaching implications for electronic publishing and is an invaluable repository of what would […]

Apollo 18: A Review

At the start of the viral marketing campaign for Apollo 18, The Dome pointed out that found footage projects were a cheat in storytelling. While the marketing aspect plays a role in the overall experience of the film, I was curious to see if the film could hold it’s own as a space thriller.
