I can’t remember the last time I did one of these, so that must mean it’s time to write one! Originally I was going to dedicate an entire post to Make Dad Read Comics; I would still like to do that, but I’m still feeling a little conflicted because I don’t want to draw too […]

Is It Star Trek? Fandom and Gatekeeping
Is discounting a piece of the Trek franchise for not following in the direct footsteps of TOS tantamount to gatekeeping? That’s a question that immediately popped into my head when I saw a podcast title from Mission Log, “But, Is It Star Trek?”. I find Mission Log (and similar podcasts) extremely entertaining to listen to, […]
2018 Reading Update
About a month ago I presented my reading list for 2018. I figure since the first two months of 2018 have come and gone, it’s time I provide an update of where I am. Well…I’m not doing so well. I’m 67% of the way through “From A Certain Point of View” (short story collection based […]
Comic Book Review Series
Comic books, man. One of the things I’ve always wanted to do is create an online comic, or write a comic book. The only problem is that I can’t draw worth a hill of beans. And I’m not a super avid reader of comics, but there are a select few that I’ve found that I […]

The whole episode was interesting, but he was particularly focused on what’s known […]
Vader Omnibus – Volume 1 Review
I’ve heard a lot of good things about the Vader comic book series, and it was recently recommended to me by Patrick of Make Dad Read Comics to read it – I had a $50 gift card burning a hole in my pocket so I finally picked up the first 12 issues, collected in Vader […]
I really want to meet Robert Picardo and Ethan Phillips
This is going to be largely another podcast recommendation, but if I’m ever asked what celebrity I’d most like to meet, it’d be Robert Picardo and Ethan Phillips, together in the same room. Those two are downright funny, and also (mostly) down to earth. Apparently they know each other quite well since starring together on […]
Hunter – by Wil Wheaton
Alright, so I re-read Wil Wheaton’s short story Hunter tonight; I’m posting this from mobile, so you’ll have to find the link when I wrote about it in my last post. Anyway…It’s not as good as I apparently made it out to be in that post. If I were to grade it now, I’d give it […]
