So, last night was the #drinkanddraw event cohosted by the Functional Nerds, Andy Romine and Galen Dara. The concept was simple, and I was willing and eager to participate. I have been known to doodle when out with friends (or I make paper airplanes), so this event really appealed to me. When I started,...
/begin random thoughts So. The bag has been tipped over and the cat is loose. John Anealio and I have been tapped to do a new podcast for sfsignal.com. On top of that, I’ll be writing for sfsignal.com a couple times a month. I think it’s going to be a lot of fun and...
/begin random thoughts I pitched an idea to someone and they liked it so I’ll probably start something new here shortly. More on that later… * * * Networking is important no matter what you do for a living. Meeting new people, making connections – it can be the difference between something happening or...
/begin random thoughts I’ve been offline more lately than is usual. Well, I say offline but really I am still online, I’m just staying focused on the tasks at hand and not doing as much Twitter as people are accustomed to seeing from me. That’s because I’ve been writing. A lot. The whole point...
Once again, my friend John Anealio and I had the privilege of hosting a fantastic guest over on the Functional Nerds podcast.

Mur began podcasting in 04 so she is more than a little acquainted with the...
Over on the Functional Nerds site, John Anealio and I had the opportunity to chat with Z (Hipster, Please) from the Wired GeekDad Hiptrax podcast. What a fantastic little show that was. I never know what is going to happen when I hit that record button; I’m sure it’s going to be good, I...
Last week over on the Functional Nerds podcast, John Anealio and I had a chance to shoot the shit with Andrew Liptak (twitter.com/AndrewLiptak); blogger and military historian – among many other things. His take on what is and what isn’t military scifi is an interesting one. For example, he considers the original Dune to...
You know, since I started this whole blogger/podcaster/twitter/online life sort of thing, I have to say that I have been incredibly lucky in that the people I have met have been fantastic. The first famous writer I had a chance to confab with, L.E. Modesitt Jr., couldn’t have been a warmer, more personable guy. ...
Had a great time with Blake Charlton and John Anealio last week over on the Functional Nerds podcast. Since Blake is both an author and a medical student, it gave us the opportunity to branch out a little bit and talk about more serious stuff – like the human brain. Blake was able to...
