No, not my wedding. This evening is the inaugural Julius Schwartz Lecture, an event I’ve been helping to plan, produce and otherwise bring into existence for the last year. As a result, and as a reward, today I am the personal handler for Neil Gaiman, a man who’s been a role model for me since […]
This morning one of my small side projects was born onto the Internet: a quasi-experimental redesign of a voiceover client’s website. The new site, Bill Cochran’s http://www.cochranaudio.com/, stands in sharp contrast to the usual one-pagers I do for my voiceover clients in that, one, it has more than one page, and two, the MP3s are embedded […]
Jeff Smith and Scott McCloud on comics. Can’t wait to visit Wexner. The 8 Kinds of Fun. Mahk is on the GAMBIT Advisory Committee. Star Wars 1942. Ooooh. Steampunk Star Wars. OOOOH. Steampunk accessories. It’s the new new thing. Time to jump onboard. Adventure Game Studio. Projects, always more projects.

Goblin Fruit posts Spring 2008 issue. Also on said must-submit list. Call for submissions: Interfictions 2. Ditto. UFOs and the CARET program. Almost […]
Earlier today Thom Patterson’s story “Is the Future of TV on the Web?” went online at CNN.com. I had a one-line quote in it, but actually the conversation between Thom and I gave me the opportunity to write up some thoughts that I’d been kicking around for a while on the online video front. Below […]
There’s a new piece up at CNN.com called “Is the Future of TV on the Web?” in which I’m briefly quoted. I had a lot more to say on the subject, obviously, but due to space constraints it got chopped down to just one sentence. I’m checking with the interviewer to see if I can […]
Well, that didn’t work. Â The last time I did a “30 poems in 30 days” project, it was two years ago and I wound up writing them poems in huge blocks. Â They were much shorter and all followed a similar theme. Â This time around I tried to do longer works on wider themes and, well, […]
