I’ve been a fan of Grant Baciocco, the brilliant mind behind The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd and Throwing Toasters, for years. He has a new podcast now, a short history show called Did This Happen? Grant has family-friendly humor down to a science, and his writing, voice acting, and audio production is top-notch. If [...]
I hate being stereotypical, but I am not really comfortable with pictures of myself. There are a variety of reasons, I won’t go into them now because they’re irrelevant or may be seen as fishing. But I do love the photography of my good friend JR Blackwell, and I see her photo shoots and want [...]
Her Side is a multimedia fiction project conceived by author Mur Lafferty and photographer J.R. Blackwell. Mur Lafferty’s narrative leads the reader through a story of violence, love and self discovery as J.R. Blackwell’s photography illuminates the unspoken elements of the story. Together, they combine two different storytelling methods to tell one story. This is [...]
AS our daughter is getting older, we do encounter the swearing thing more. Right now she’s in a purely academic world. I wrote “Don’t be an ass” in a notebook as a note of what I wanted to talk about on I Should Be Writing, which she saw. “Mom, why did you write the A [...]
Last February I tried to start getting back into running. It’s been a slow process, but I heard someone on Twitter mention the Vibram Fivefingers shoes, and I was intrigued. I started researching barefoot running, and really liked the idea. One thing I was interested in was the aligning of the toes. I am developing [...]
This week I’ve been thinking of how we see things, and how illusions can affect our lives. I worked on my novel, code named Underground, for over two years. It’s now at a point where I can get agent comments on it. We’ve agreed on a title, so when she emailed me her comments, she [...]
Her Side, my collaboration with brilliant photographer, JR Blackwell, was an odd little baby. Never mind that it was darker, bloodier, and, in some ways, sexier than anything I’ve ever written, and never mind that it had a protagonist who was not nice at all. It was odd because it was a novella with necessary [...]
Did I need a new podcast? Really? Well. I call this an evolution of Geek Fu Action Grip. It’s an audio blog along with other stuff. This time you get an interview with Jonathan Coulton. We talk about huge bags of money, Creative Commons, John Hodgman, profanity, and other things. You like Restless Brain? Let [...]
Really? I’ve never done a Metacast before? In FIVE years? Maybe it was called a “special” cast. I dunno. Regardless! I talk about what happened in May, what I’ve been up to, and assure you that the podcast is back and going nowhere anytime soon. We return to calm, clean, solo podcasting here. Note- I [...]
