Those of us who blog using WordPress usually develop our own methods of writing and posting to make it more convenient and efficient for us. I’m going to outline my process here, so maybe some of you will get something out of it.
A couple of months back, Amazon announced their “Kindle Worlds” program, which allows any Joe Blow to publish a fan-fiction ebook on Amazon…and get PAID for it!
I recently had the pleasure of reading Marvel Comics: The Untold Story, and just to clarify the title, the review isn’t sad because the book was poorly written, it’s sad because it reveals the inner workings of a company known for making “funnybooks”, and it ain’t too funny at all.
Many of you may have already heard of Twitter’s new rich media experience called Twitter Cards. They’ve been around for awhile but most of us have to specifically opt-in. I went ahead and did that, but I guess we’ll see what benefit, if any, it brings.
Hey everyone, I was recently interviewed on the Genesis Science Fiction Radio Show, produced by the Black Science Fiction Society…
Today’s episode concerns an issue that has plagued humankind for far too long. Namely, exactly why the Fantastic Four are such horrible people.
Hey guys, I’d like to present my very first Triberr reblogged post. If you don’t know what that is, please check out Triberr at the link or ask me any questions and I’ll be happy to fill you in. This post is from my buddy Dino Dogan, one of the founders of Triberr. Check it […]

Good news, people…I’ve discovered the most fun you can have with Wordpress -and it’s with the Advanced Custom Fields plugin. Come on in and join the party!
I absolutely loved this show. It ran for three seasons in the early 2000’s before it was cancelled out from under us like so many other good shows. But now, thanks to the power of Kickstarter and social media, it’s back.
Farewell Google Reader and Adobe BrowserLab. These are two services I used almost daily for the last several years. It just goes to show that even deep-pockets Google isn’t willing to maintain a free service forever if they’re not getting anything out of it.
My suspicion is that once iPhone market saturation declines to or below a specified percentage, a Steve Jobs backup personality will come on-line, take control of the country’s nuclear arsenal and launch a strike against the Googleplex.
This is not my usual type of article. This is the tale of an insidious and well executed eBay scam. The names have (mostly) been changed to protect the victims. If you’ve ever wondered what kind of plots the bad guys get up to on eBay, then read on.
The ultimate battle demands the ultimate answer to the ultimate question -namely, between Jack Bauer, Jason Bourne and James Bond…WHO YA GOT???
I just wanted to make a quick post up about an interview I did recently for Smooth Drama radio about my comics. It was very cool to be asked so I wanted to share it with you guys.
I just recently picked up an Apple TV after my PS3 finally died on me. I’m very surprised to say this but Sony actually created a media viewing experience much better than Apple.
Ok, the site isn’t 40 years old, but I sure am. Please join me in (belatedly) celebrating my birthday with my greatest, no, THE greatest comic adventure of all time!

Another Halloween, another zombie. I know everyone’s tired of it by now so I figured this would be the perfect time for me to jump on the bandwagon with one of my own. Oh, yeah -I quit The Walking Dead, too. Sheesh, this is the worst intro ever…
In this post I want to talk about how we can all get ourselves some free entertainment via BitTorrent -and do it all legally!
