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 a really good [...]

I pitched an idea to someone and they liked it so I’ll probably start something new here shortly.
More on that later…

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 of this stuff is [...]
Once again, my friend John Anealio and I had the privilege of hosting a fantastic guest over on the Functional Nerds podcast. John Picacio is an award winning artist who has put together some of the most memorable cover art I’ve seen in a long time.
His covers grace books from many different publishers, have won [...]
Last week, John Anealio and I hosted the great Mur Lafferty for the Functional Nerds podcast.
Despite Skype continually failing us (30 second random silences, disconnects, more 30 second random silences, more disconnects), we had a really good conversation.
Mur began podcasting in 04 so she is more than a little acquainted with the whole thing and [...]
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 just never know [...]
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 be a [...]
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. I really [...]
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 bring a unique [...]
So.
Thanks to Twitter, I met this guy named John Anealio. He writes songs based on scifi and fantasy books he reads and likes. He even has a podcast all about it. Anyway, he started listening to my podcast and thought to himself, “Self? It would be fun to do a podcast with that ATFMB guy.”
