A Force of Nature
Stacey Graham is a force of nature. There is no passive language in anything about her. She shakes, pops, shimmies, toddles, and gets down. There are ample amounts of “yay!” and truckloads of thanks dispensed to friends and acquaintances alike. Certainly, the *headdesk* stage direction occasionally finds its way into her status updates, but what always shines through, for herself and those she supports, is something simpler: “Win!” There are the daily anecdotes about raising her five children laced with …
Talking with Steve Rude
Steve Rude wants you to know he will be returning to comics. This is no secret, but the Wisconsin born artist and co-creator of the popular comic book “Nexus” said it’s time. When he spoke with us for “The Science Fiction Show” podcast June 11, he said he’s ready for a return. He’s been away from comics since the previous resurrection of Nexus (with writer Mike Baron). The great news? This wasn’t some calculated decision. The decision simply came to …

The Science Fiction Show podcast
I love this new podcast I’m involved with. Love it. For one, it gets me back podcasting and I’ve always loved doing radio. It also allows me to unleash my views on something I love dearly, science fiction. That means talking about books, films, TV shows, comic books and actual science happenings. However, the best part is just being able to sit with two good friends and throw this stuff back and forth like monkeys flinging their poo. I’ve known …
The Barcelona Trip Report
(Note: Each part of this blog was written the evening it ended. Here are a few references, if you need them: Barcelona, Catalonia, Gaudi, La Pedrera, Sagrada Familia) Travel day – Day one, 27 May 11 The flight from Munich to Reus (where Gaudi was born) is cramped, loud and chaotic. Stewardesses can’t get through the water landing/death drill. People are snapping photos of them and talking. Every hair-in-a-bob demonstrator flight attendant is glassy eyed and look like they’ve been …
Up the Irons!
“I … am Bruce Dickenson … that’s right THE … Bruce Dickenson.” After weekend in Spain, tonight I’ll be in Munich for a quiet little show that features a airline pilot, a mascot that looks a cross between Joan Rivers and Gollum, and someone named Niko McBrain. They’ve written songs about Icarus and Dune. They’ve lyrisized “Charge of the Light Brigade.” Their lead singer, Bruce Dickenson, is a commercial pilot and flis the band around in a custom-painted jet. Pass …
Where We Come From on Memorial Day
I come from San Diego, Calif. And I come from Point Mugu, Calif. I come from Oxnard, Wichita Falls, Midway Island, and Providence, Rhode Island. I come from Plattsburgh, N.Y., Denver, Colo., Panama City, Fla., San Antonio, Texas, Macon, Ga., Portugal and Germany. I come from your home town, my home town and his hometown. They came from many of the same places and some were friends who came from places like Woomera, Lyon, Surrey, Toronto and elsewhere. Their tired …
