O My Goddess Shirley Manson is a Urinal
Shirley Manson's awesome role in The Sarah Connor Chronicles leaves something to be desired for feminist viewers.
Physics of the Impossible
Do Doubleday and Anchor Books think that blatant regurgitation of portions of text from earlier books in the series is okay because these books are so difficult to comprehend?
Jeff Gomez’s “Snippet Culture”
Novels aren't YouTube videos. Buying random chunks from a novel is analogous to buying pixels from a jpeg, or fourteen seconds from an mp3, or the middle forty-thousand frames of a music video.
Cloverfield ARG: J.J. Abrams and Co. Deposit the “Cheese”
In alternate reality games (ARGs), every source is speculative at best. The “Untitled J. J. Abrams Project” trades all the promotional liabilities of the filmmaker for a viral marketing plan.
The Last Die is Cast: On the Death of Dragon Magazine
To some, the death of Dragon magazine did not come as a surprise. "D&D was dead when Third Edition came out," says Christina Sills, owner of Wildgate Games in Deltona, Florida, over the phone, "so when Dragon was done, it just proved what we already knew."
A Feminist Reading of Grindhouse
Grindhouse is undoubtedly a "chick-flick," some kind of bizarre tongue-in-cheek girl-power for the 21st century.
The Man-Chi of MegaCon 2007
The MegaCon monster is, for the most part, an orgy of consumerism, wriggling with sweaty nerdkind of every age, obsession, and genre, from the cosplay toddler to the acne-ridden spawn of "Naruto."

the work has changed
Translating what if into what’s next.
The work never ends, and that’s a good thing.
Whether we’re building a website, an MCP server, or an online game, the loop is the same: translate an idea into a tangible blueprint, give it digital form, and harness the launch into continual, forward momentum.
Intuit
Raise the questions nobody asked. Invite curiosity about the answers. Discovery spotlights the known and reveals the unknown.
Design
Sketch out a blueprint for the future. Plan the experience, invent the architecture, and select the tools. Tailor the team around your business goals.
Execute
Invest in human specialists where it matters, oversee AI agents where work accelerates. Keep everyone focused on the big picture.
Automate
Never waste human talent on work machines can do; time is a precious commodity. Keep a human in the loop where judgment matters.
Test
Never trust the output alone. Always know what’s under the hood. Remain accountable for every new feature and ship responsibly.
Evolve
Build self-documenting systems. Create secure, maintainable environments. Refine and adapt as your business changes.
No one Can Do it All
Good thing I know the right people to call.
When you hire me, you gain access to a private network of digital specialists. Each freelancer owns their own business, and I’ve personally worked with each of them over the years.
