My Blog

As has been well documented in this space, I have spent the previous four years as a resident of Honolulu. As should come as a surprise to nobody, I have thoroughly enjoyed it, though that isn't to say it has been w/o fault of any kind. One of my favorite movie quotes...

Back once again under the promise of posting more, be it my own original thoughts or merely parroting the superb work of others, I am here today to pass along the newest offering from The Oatmeal. For those of you not familiar, his work can be a little hit or miss,...

In an effort to keep my word and post things much more frequently moving forward, I will be diverging a bit from my usual pattern of only posting original thoughts, lists, reviews, stories, etc., and including anything that catches my eye. First up for this new...

Once again folks I am forced to apologize for my absence of late. Between working to get two new projects out (neither of which are this one...which should be out this fall) and two mainland trips, time has been at a premium as of late. W/ my favorite co-conspirator...

For all those that fear I might be using this space solely to promote something I'm working on - a valid concern given my dearth of posts lately (I am writing A LOT, I swear) - rest easy. This is not to push my own products but to make you all aware of a documentary...

In a bit of news that flew well under the radar this past week, the world lost a very kind soul, and a truly funny and gifted comedian in Jon Pinette this week. A man of extreme proportions, he turned his battles with girth into humorous snippets, more or less stating...

 A couple nights ago we all said goodbye to what has been a Monday night staple for almost a decade now in How I Met Your Mother. For those of you that never watched, it’s on about five different networks almost all the time these days, so please feel free to jump in...

This week I was intending to write about the NCAA tournament and share the picks that were going to alleviate Mr. Warren Buffett of a billion dollars...but then the games started and I was once again reminded that the tournament is best enjoyed strictly as a...

  It was not-so-delicately hinted to me over the weekend that it has been a couple weeks since I updated, and even longer since I wrote anything remotely smartass, and that I should remedy both of these ASAP. I tried and tried to refute said allegation by pointing out...

Here is a snippet of one of the novels I am currently at work on...happy reading!!Chapter Three     “This is bullshit! Bullshit!”     The sound passed through the thick wooden door as if it wasn’t  even there. It was an angry, hostile voice that rolled out over the...
