AI Evangelism is a Hazard to Your Health

May 18, 2025

Hello, again. Have you ever had a moment where you heard someone say, or read about someone saying, something utterly bizarre and you realized instantly they had no idea that what they were saying was completely bonkers? I feel like I have two or three of those every week, now.

Recently, I have been thinking about AI evangelism cooking people’s brains and why “Andor” is the greatest Star Wars story ever told. I have also come up with an idea for a new Major League Baseball award, gave up reading a book because its anachronisms drove me to distraction, and have an important recommendation. LFG.

The Grid... It Is Immaculate!

April 21, 2025


Hello, again. I have big news: My novel is published! It’s called “A Hell of a Wedding”. If you want to buy it in paperback, here’s where you can get it, and if you want a digital copy, you’re welcome to buy it, but I’m also happy to send you a free copy if you request it here. I’m proud of making this and hope it will find at least a few readers, so I hope you enjoy!

Recently, I have been appreciating Immaculate Grid and lamenting Americans’ seeming disregard for due process. I also read a really gossipy book about Elon Musk and read another book that deals with time travel in a satisfying way. LFG.

"Armageddon Surfer Girl, Rock On..."

March 23, 2025


Hello, again. I hope you’re all doing well. On the one hand, Republican members of Congress and a small cadre of galactic-brained Democrats have abdicated their role in government and nullified Article I of the American Constitution. On the other, baseball season is upon us. We are a land of contrasts.

If you want to read the novel I wrote, you can request a free digital copy here, and you can read an excerpt here. Seriously: it's free!

More or less, this blog/newsletter is a collection of various things on my mind and publishes monthly (for now!).

Recently, I’ve been thinking about the particular flavor of American fascism at this moment, the uses and limitations of AI tools, “Crimson Tide,” a relatively obscure power pop singer-songwriter, and more. LFG.
