The Mathematics of Fiction

16 December 2009

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. We’ll look back one day and realize it ruined everything. When I first heard about PPZ, I wanted to lobby the state legislature to change laws so that I could marry the thing. I love Jane Austen, and I love zombies.  What, I ask you, could be better? How, I [...]

Per Annum

6 August 2009

Tomorrow, I won’t be thirty anymore. I’ll be thirty-one.  I’ll be in my thirties.  And as any impending birthday is wont to do, it has made me introspective. I dreaded thirty as it approached, but thirty became a good year.  It was thirty – it was important because it had a zero at the end, [...]

Excuse the Mess

5 August 2009

I’ve made some changes to the site layout, as you may be able to tell. I’m a big fan of Chris Pearson’s design sensibility, so I decided to splurge on the Thesis theme as an early birthday present (I turn 31 on Friday). I can do a lot with the theme, but other than a [...]

Grok #4 And A Cautionary Note

8 June 2009

One of the other places that I blog, Alert Nerd, has just released another issue of its quasi-trimesterly print-on-demand magazine, Grok.  Instead of my usual incisive essays on the dangers of living with a non-geek, the perils of ghost hunting, or the soul-shucking depression caused by outliving one’s hobbies, I’ve been talked into writing fiction.

Teaser Tuesday

12 May 2009

Sometime after his eightieth readthrough of The New Rules, Martin pronounced to us that they were horrible and wrong and that he hated them. We’d been using the new system for about two weeks by then, all of our characters converted over under Martin’s dungeonmastery eye. We were going to scrap it and go back [...]
