I came across an fantastic article on BBC.com called “Beyond the beach read: The new wave of bookish travel.” A traveling Book Club of sorts. I hope the article spreads and caches fire, for what a clever and fun idea to vacation, with friends or other readers, in the location of a novel’s setting. EXCERPT:…

Netflix’s new Polish sci-fi gem Project UFO is an unexpected delight. I loved it. If you speak Polish, great—otherwise, do yourself a favor and watch it in the original language with English subtitles. The rhythm, tone, and quirks of the dialogue land so much better that way. I stumbled onto it while trailer-surfing for a…

11 million Netflix households watched it within 17 days, and over 142 million after 28 days. Ultimately reached around 265.2 million total views, making it Netflix’s most‑watched non‑English series ever. Also garnered ~1.65 billion hours viewed within its first 28 days.

Your vision and drive have undeniably pushed the boundaries of what many thought impossible, from revolutionizing space travel to accelerating the transition to sustainable energy. However, I feel compelled to express a growing concern that you may be…

If you’ve followed my posts over the years, you know my appetite for U.S. produced films—especially in the Sci-Fi genre–– has all but waned; it’s been a steady diet of reheated sequels, overcooked plots, and character development so thin you can slip them under a door. For that, I can get the same emotional dullness…

Baby Boomers (born roughly 1946–1964) — especially those born in the mid-1950s to early 1960s — have witnessed the most dramatic arc of technological change over a lifetime, from pre-digital to post-digital society. 1. Born into an Analog World 2. Lived Through the Digital Revolution 3. Experienced a Medical and Scientific Leap And we’re not…

Very cool concept. As a former Marine Biologist and now Sci-Fi writer, The CudaJet blends the best of both worlds for me. One thing I’m particularly curious about is the noise factor. Depending on the decibel level, it could be more than just a minor distraction—it could interfere significantly with both diver awareness and marine…
