Now it is no secret that I think that we are facing a major shift in our society, and one that will not be entirely fun, to put it mildly. It should also be no secret that while I love to write jokingly about when zombies come, I don't actually believe we're facing an apocalypse of any kind.…
In a moment of what may have been trance induced ague, my friend John McKay uttered a few words about Twinkies and the Maya that made a certain amount of sense, but something was still missing. But then it hit me like a loaf of bread. Wonderbread. Which, in Afrikaans, means "Miracle Bread" (you…
I don't think Eric and my eyes have ever met in one of those soppy, romantic looks couples give each other over a puddle of vomit before.  Yesterday, however, they did. We've been battling a nasty, slow moving stomach virus at our house (four down, four still to go ;-P), and one of the children…
Since 2006, I've been making annual predictions about what would happen in the coming year, and well, this year, I didn't.  Part of it was because I spent a week travelling and had limited time and internet access, but if I'd really wanted to, I could have made it happen.  The project of prediction…

Your birthday is _after_ 420?

Bummer.

Sorry 'bout that! Our bad.

I just heard back from the IT department and among the reasons Judgment Day didn't happen is 'cause Skynet's main servers are down. Something about an upgrade with security patches followed by a quarantine of the network.

You don't want to see the process quality audit on this one, I promise!

Not to worry, we're still working on it. Like most government programs, it's over budget and behind schedule.

(Google A-160 Hummingbird for an example).

Now wait just one minute...I just found out the world will begin to end May 21st with five months of torture no less and total ending on Oct 21st...wow, gotta love those out of work sci-fi writers!
