Dynotus art, from 26 years ago, done on my Amiga computerWe all remember our first loves. No matter what we experience later in life, we keep a place in our hearts for what came along when we were most impressionable, when the world was still wondrous and open to infinite possibilities.

Meteora: Cliff hanging monasteries of Greece. In many ways, YouTube is our modern debate forum, the equivalent of the Athenian Academy, or The Royal Society. Dig beneath the cat videos and you will find a treasure trove of thought, from noted philosophers, Sam Harris and Daniel Dennet, to stars of science, Bill Nye, Michio Kaku... Continue Reading →
A few weeks ago, fellow author and naturist Will Forest reached out to me for a blog series he was doing, cleverly titled, "Disrobing Suspense."

My teacher, as well as some of the students, seeing what I had just finished, was not at all puzzled. They... Continue Reading →
A lot of you may not know this, but I pretty much created The Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, except that I called them The Panthers. It was a team of martial-arts superheroes that sometimes drove around in giant mech/robots. The leader was all in red, while his allies wore other primary colors, like blue and... Continue Reading →
The Prophet Mohammed? "I am Charlie," people around the world have been saying since twelve staffers who worked at Charlie Hebdo, a satirical Parisian periodical, were massacred.

Radia Noora, the Princess of AenyaWell, folks, this is it, another year gone at the Writer's Disease.
