Blog postWe put together another video in Adobe Premiere last night. This one was a technical challenge. The source material had a displayed timestamp, and I wanted it to be sync’d throughout.
It’s how “we” crushed a nosewheel on landing.

Blog postAs I’ve been “flying” and re-learning old skills in a new sim, I’ve also learned that aerial refueling is tougher than simpler sims make it out to be. Please enjoy a video I captured, that also happens to show off […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Blog postWe’ve added a new title to our stories section.
In addition to being IT professionals, comic artists, and writers, we’re also gamers. (In addition to being those three types of nerds, we’re also a fourth kind of nerd.) In particular, we’ve been long time flight simulator pilots.
During the social distancing, I’ve rediscovered my love of this hobby with a new sim. In an effort to justify the deduction on our corporate taxes, I’ve started writing a new series of micro-stories,&n -
Blog postThe news of the day aside, we were happy to see Tidewater Comicon feature us in their exhibitor highlight this week. While that show has been postponed for one year, rest assured that we intend to use our table when it returns in 2021.
The main purpose of this post is to let you know we are still alive and continuing to suck at social media.
For those fans who are readers, an eBook distributor we know is having a sale lasting through most of this month (that link will probably -
Blog postSeemingly stuck in limited release, we’ve been trying to find this one in a moderately convenient theater. As it turns out, Jojo Rabbit was not quite the movie we expected, but it was worth the wait and worth seeing in the theater. The critic taglines about the film all remark on its humor and brilliance as a satire. It earns these accolades, but it also deals somewhat seriously with the darker subjects of Germany’s last days in the Second World War.
Jojo Rabbit is not a spoof or paro -
Blog postJexi is a lonely guy expands his life romantic comedy. It’s not terribly groundbreaking in terms of story or devices, but what it lacks in innovation it makes up for in being genuinely funny. I found myself laughing from start to finish.
The titular character is an “intelligent assistant” software installed on some unnamed brand of smartphone. Voiced by Rose Byrne, she promises to make Phil’s (Adam Devine) life better. Brash and foul mouthed – Jexi is rated R for language – she berate -
Blog postWe braved the news reports of “non-specific threats” to see Joker on opening day. First, it was a spectacularly well done movie. As “Batman canon,” it’s sort of Cesar Romero doing a Heath Ledger impersonation in Taxi Driver. As its own film, it is an excellent portrayal of a man driven mad by a society unforgiving of his mental illness.
Joaquin Phoenix does an excellent job portraying this descent from illness into madness. The film focuses so much on him that it doesn’t leave much ro -
Blog postWe have a tendency to enjoy small and independent films. It’s not that we don’t like big action blockbusters with special effects budgets that rival the GDP of small nations, but films that we have to go to an “art house theatre” to see only get made when they have an actual story to deliver. The Peanut Butter Falcon is such a film.
A young man with Down syndrome, Zak (played by Zack Gottsagen) escapes the nursing home where he lives to pursue his dream to go to a professional wrestli -
Blog postSmall cast, quiet movies, made with nearly no budget are something of an acquired taste for modern audiences. The Art of Self Defense, starring Jesse Eisenberg, rewards fans of such films with dark laughter amidst moments of personal triumph for which the characters really ought to be punished.
The plot is fairly straightforward. An overtly suppressed staff accountant, Casey (Eisenberg), is mugged one night. Terrified of his own shadow, Casey seeks the means for protecting himself and -
Blog postHow fast can you produce a book?
That’s a tricky question, and we’ve answered it a few different ways in the past. This time the answer is different, too.
The Case of the North Station Mummy went from first draft to approved proof in 57 days – including six rewrites. It might sound like a long time for a 62 page story, but that is a blistering pace. (And we could not have accomplished it without the help of some very talented volunteers.)
That 57 days is not just
