About Me

I'd like to share what I know about: Video Games, Comic Books, Horror, Social Media, Writing and Literature

I'd like to discover more about: Graphic Design, Writing, Relationships, Parenting through Divorce, Marketing

I often hide behind a pithy Douglas Adams quote or maybe some song lyrics. I guess it makes sense that much of what I share is reviews of things I like (or don't).

People who are first getting to know me are often surprised to learn that I'm a father of three daughters, the eldest of whom of is a senior in high school.  I don't … more

Perfect Circle
"Ghosts don't do things to you. Ghosts make you do unspeakable things to yourself."    Here's what Sean Stewart's newest novel is not: it is not predictable, it is not trite, and it …

Dell Streak 7
I knew it almost right away - this little baby was going to be trouble. Just the kind of trouble I'd been looking for.      I loved the look of her, that's for sure. Slipping …

(500) Days of Summer
Don't be fooled by the opening narration. (500) Days of Summer is very much a love story. Just not the kind we're used to seeing.      Come to think of it, the title's …

Alison Wonderland
Alison Wonderland is something of an anomaly.      It has an imaginative, sometimes magical story, but one without a strong direction. It covers a lot of ground in very few pages. …

Supergods: What masked vigilantes, miraculous mutants, and a sun god from Smallville can teach us about being human

Pandora Online Radio
I'm in love...again. All I need is a WiFi connection and my Android tablet and there it is - from music I've loved for years to gems I've never heard. The Pandora mobile app ties in with my …
posted a Quick Tip about Hold It Against Me. March 03, 2011
Hold It Against Me
I was a little shocked to hear that Britney Spears performs 'Hold It Against Me,' the latest assault on our ears being overplayed on the radio. See, I think Britney is generally good at what she does. …

The Green Hornet (2011 movie)
'The Green Hornet' was decent fun, but to be perfectly honest, most of the best parts had already been seen in the trailer, and the rest of the movie was mostly ways to stitch the cool scenes together. …
posted a Quick Tip about Deadgirl. January 26, 2011

Deadgirl
There is a girl, and she is dead - a genuinely disturbing concept that makes for a seriously compelling movie. 'Deadgirl' is just graphic enough, but not over the top. Perhaps the only weakness was a …

Netflix on Wii
Just an update to my earlier review of Netflix on the Wii - now you can download an application that renders the Netflix Wii disc unnecessary. The app is free and the interface is roughly the same, without …

Goodreads
This site is a must for all bibliophiles. Since I've started using it, I've not only found new books to read, I've also revisited books I haven't seen since I was a kid. I even got a free book from their …

Pomplamoose
A charming and original musical duo. They work with both music and video and somehow manage to shatter most illusions about how music is made while making it look pretty magical. Brilliant.
