Blog postMy 2017 convention schedule is firming up, so I’m sharing my schedule in case anyone is interested in meeting up and chatting about gaming, writing, or even credit card security (my other specialty).
PAX South (San Antonio) (Friday-Sunday) OwlCon (Houston) (Saturday only) ChupacabraCon (Austin) (Friday-Saturday) So far I don’t have any out of state convention trips scheduled. If you’re a convention organizer I’d love to hear from you. I love going to conventions, running gam -
Blog postLast night I was on the phone with a writing buddy and he shared with me how he had written 6,000 words that day, to finish up a 10,000 word chapter. I’d also been assigned a chapter in the same book, so I thought it would be interesting to share with you my writing habits by comparison.
Right off the bat I’ll say I’m in awe of anyone who can write 6,000 words a day. Even if I had all day to write with absolutely no distractions I’m pretty sure I couldn’t pull that off. I am much more -
Blog postIn 2008 half the population embraced “Hope and Change” because both were in short supply. In the eight years that followed, hope withered and not all the change was for the better. With this year’s presidential election, half the population embraced the opposing party’s slogan, “Make America Great Again,” apparently blind to the irony that both slogans spoke to the same thing.
It’s past time we faced some difficult truths. The political machine desperately needs you to keep overl -

Blog postIf you read my post from last week about giving Scrivener another try, then first I congratulate you on being possibly the only person in the world still reading this blog.
Now that I’ve been using the software for week or two I really look back and wonder what the big deal was. This is not hard. Different? Yes. Hard? Not really. Granted, in the 9 months since I first tried it the software went through a version update. Maybe the UI was tweaked to make it more intuitive?

Blog postI know I’m late to the game, but the movie Limitless bubbled to the top of my Netflix disc queue and I finally got a chance to watch it. (Confession time: the disc came sometime back in December and sat unwatched for two months.) The basic premise is that a loser gets access to a secret, designer drug that lets a person “use 100% of the brain instead of the usual 20%.” On the drug, he knocks out a brilliant novel then goes on to play the stock market and broker a multimillion dollar merger.

Blog postNearly a year ago I caught word in my social media circles that Scrivener download codes were on sale for only $20 at Amazon. For those not in the know, Scrivener is writing software. For years it had the reputation of being the go-to software for serious writers, but was only available for the Mac. Later that excuse was demolished with a Windows version but then the $40 price tag kept me from taking the plunge. After all, I’d been writing just fine with Word for many years. In fact, I found

Blog postMedicare drug fraud is big business, milking millions of dollars from the system. If an independent news outlet can examine the data and identify suspicious prescribers, why can’t the government? Why doesn’t the government act?

Blog postI keep FactCheck.org in my RSS feed as a reality check when it comes to political spin. They recently posted a “year in review” of the whoppers from both sides of the aisle. As you enter 2014, it might be worth a few minutes to look over the past year and remind yourself to take everything a politician says with a grain of salt.

Blog posthttp://www.worldaffairsjournal.org/blog/michael-j-totten/welcome-cuba
When Michael Totten reports, he doesn’t just describe the scene like narrating a photo. He makes you understand the culture and history driving current events. His recent undercover excursion to Cuba is a fine example, and definitely worth a read.

Blog postIf you don’t understand the religious allegiances in the Middle East you can’t hope to understand the forces driving regional politics. In this long New Yorker article, we get a look at Iran’s aspirations. Using underground fighters, Iran– a Shiite state–kept Shiites in charge of Syria, who in turn fought over Lebanon.
The early months of 2013, around the time of Shateri’s death, marked a low point for the Iranian intervention in Syria. Assad was steadily losing ground to the rebels, -

This article is controversial in the education policy community. The question of whether teachers should be evaluated on the test scores of their students is hotly debated, and the LA Times made public their own study of test scores & teacher effectiveness in the LA Unified School District, maybe the 1st time this type of info has been made public -
