Soylent Green is People, This is Not

Earlier, I said dog days are coming and I meant it. It has taken a while to get everything worked out, but Monday begins something a little different. A friend and I will commit ourselves to eight weeks of dry dog food-eating experimentation for the betterment of mankind. I know you have lot’s of questions,… Continue reading Soylent Green is People, This is Not

How I Work

The longest amount of time spent, and time I am unable to account for, is research. Depending on the topic, I may spend a week pouring through as many references I can find on a particular subject to get a real good feel for the information. If I don’t require reference material as I write, it goes much quicker.

Ring in the Fall Season

Quite a bit of drumming this month so far. This past weekend I did two engagements; one for Art on the Square on the Gainesville, GA downtown square, and another at Gainesville’s Harvest of Hope celebration for 2005. Art on the Square is an art show held annually at this time of year for the… Continue reading Ring in the Fall Season

1,200 Years of Perseverance

If I’m lucky, I’ll catch a glimpse of Niagra Falls on my way, though I don’t know that our trip… Continue reading Canada Ho!

Martian Lake Discoverd: Record Pike Bagged

The water is thought to be released and then frozen or evaporated within a short amount of time. This patch exists year-round, despite the fact that… Continue reading Martian Lake Discoverd: Record Pike Bagged

Montezuma’s Revenge

I’m home today with a touch of some digestion pranks my system decided to play on me. It’s a little strange this sort of thing doesn’t happen more often to me than it does. I eat some pretty diverse, and oft raunchy, things. My system is pretty forgiving for all that it’s gone through, really.… Continue reading Montezuma’s Revenge

Gainesville Related to Mayberry

Katie Couric interviews ‘runaway bride’ – TV News – MSNBC.com Fast Eddie points out the Runaway Bride’s story as broken by Katie Couric. I’m not sure if the interview was tonight or sometime later this week, but I probably won’t see it. I’m only interested in the story so that I can talk intelligently at… Continue reading Gainesville Related to Mayberry
