So two weeks ago, I wrote a blog post about how, if I could, I would reboot the Star Trek TV franchise with a show set at Starfleet Academy. This wouldn’t be a spin-off of J.J. Abrams’s movies. Instead, it would be a continuation of the other TV shows that…
Okay, it’s been a while since I did a book review. I don’t know why that is. I’ve read some great books lately, but for whatever reason, I’ve been too lazy to write much about them. But recently I finished reading a fantastic book that really made me sit up…
When I was in college, I did a lot of theatre productions (enough that I’ve picked up the pretentious habit of spelling live theatre with an R-E, thankyouverymuch). I remember that after one late night, one of the actors didn’t want to commute home (he lived off campus) and so…
Last week, I started a new series where I’m going to outline some ideas that I have for a new Star Trek TV show. This is all hypothetical, obviously. It’s a work of fanfiction for my own amusement… …although if there’s someone from Paramount that wants to make a show…
Okay, so I’m either being kind of lazy or I’m giving you more than usual. You can figure out which one. Just some thoughts on Philippians 4:8-9. Your focus determines your reality, after all. So what do you focus on?
As I’ve said before, every now and then, an idea gets stuck in my head and starts rattling around. That’s part and parcel of being a writer, I know, but sometimes, those ideas are…well, kind of worthless, simply because I can’t do anything with them. They’re ideas that can best…
In Philippians 4, St. Paul has this to say: And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. When we see that one little word, “peace,” we usually think of an absence of war, that elusive state of affairs between…
Quite a while ago, I stumbled across a little gem on Steam called Endless Space, a turn-based strategy game set in space. At the time, the game was in an open beta and, as a result, it was imperfect but kind of fun. That changed once the game went gold,…
How many of you have a song going through your head right now? Sorry about that. Okay, not really. As annoying as a certain song has become over the years (especially given how often it’s been used and misused for commercial purposes), it’s got a decent message. Don’t worry! It’s…
Several months ago, I shared an idea I had about rebooting a classic sci-fi TV show, namely Quantum Leap. If you want, go check it out again for yourself. Since that time, I’ve had a few people pop by and check it out. I’ve had a few people offer comments.…
