To understand the author is to understand the book that much more. It’s less a cohesive treatise on any particular point – and if you’re looking for a “top ten” list based on the title, you’ll be sorely disappointed. As Paul stated, “It’s a book title, folks, not to be taken literally. Of course I don’t mean everything, just most things. And ‘you’ really means we, as in all of us.”
My freelance boss for CGL is Herb Beas. He’s the Line Developer for the BattleTech license and a great guy. Overworked like no-one else I know, yet he handles it with…well, sarcasm and a wit sharp enough to not just kill sacred cows, but spit them over a raging fire until they’re juicy and medium …
MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT! (Ok, TOTALLY NOT REAL!) I’m so giddy, I can’t contain myself. The official press release goes out tomorrow, but I’ve got permission to post the news here a little early… I’ve inked my first novel deal with IMR. It’s set in the BattleTech: Dark Age era, slated for Summer 2010 release. Working title? …
In case you didn’t know or hadn’t heard, I was downsized on March 4. Yep, no full-time job at the moment. But that’s okay. (Your sentiment is still appreciated, however.) The last two weeks have been quite the flurry of activity. Basically, hit up all my contacts – and surprisingly to me, I have a …
Petr tying his pants, courtesy of ztil301 Don’t ask me about the news regarding Therrien’s firing on Sunday; I’m not quite sure it was the right thing to do. The Penguins have been in this miasmic free-fall mode since December, though argueably you could make the case it started when Sergei Gonchar whacked his shoulder …
For those not interested in my gaming news, I’ve got you covered… Lately at WeLoveDC, I’ve been doing some excellent interviews with some pretty cool people. First up was Carrie Milbank from the Hockey Show on NHL.com. She’s pretty awesome, though I had to keep the questions related to the Caps. That was hard to …
Wow, I’m horrible at updating this thing. So, lots going on to fill you in on. Though I’m sure all five of you readers already know all that’s ongoing, I figured I should post this for the rest of the intrawebs so that in a 100 years people will know what happened to me along …
I was blessed to have the opportunity to interview Carrie Milbank for our WLDC site. She’s pretty awesome, even if she’s a secret Caps fan. (I kid – she’s like me in the sense that she likes any good hockey game, regardless of who’s playing. Except when it’s the Rangers – I draw the line …
So my newest project – and first as a product developer – has officially kicked off with the ebook release of Turning Points: Luthien. And yes, I’ll take all the credit on this one, because it began as an off-handed comment over cheese sticks at Champs during GenCon this year and turned into what may …
Watched Red Dawn a while back. What of it? Just enough unbelievability in it to make it a less-than-serious movie, but a great mind-sink to just lay on the couch and wander. And as I half-watched, I realized why I kinda don’t like it. It’s not because of Patrick Swayze – though I will admit …
