  • Coinbase just launched a musical in the UK… because apparently cultural and economic satire now comes with a chorus line and a crypto wallet. Bravo, you cheeky bastards. The political power of streaming media is igniting… Anyone can blow out a candle… but a fire?

  • Ask AI what life on other planets looks like and the results are a sci-fi writer’s dream

    My starting point, Saturn’s Titan. A silvery world where hydrocarbon rain feeds shallow oceans, their surfaces appearing to oil can, disturbed only by the slow ripples of life. Our journey starts closest to the sun on Mercury. Without giving AI specifics, other than: What do you think a life-form on Mercury would look like… I…

  • Goldman Sachs has hired its first AI Software Engineer, Devin. The company who created Devin is Cognitive AI. So I thought I would introduce you to Devin, through a short story, written entirely by…. You guessed it… AI (Gemini), with the seed idea and plot by yours truly. As a former VP of Enterprise Monitoring…

  • Dear Mr. Musk

    Im writing this open letter as someone who holds the utmost respect for your contributions to humanity. 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…

  • Why Fallout Stands Out in Today’s Sci-Fi Landscape

    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…

  • When President John F. Kennedy stood before the nation in 1962 and declared that we would go to the Moon—not because it was easy, but because it was hard—he lit a fire that carried a generation into the stars. It was bold. Audacious. A promise that seemed impossible… until it wasn’t. Today, that spirit is…

  • Apple, for decades, stood as the modern paragon of disruptive innovation—the company that made us feel the future before it arrived. But lately, it seems Apple is trading in its greatest asset: creative momentum. There’s a haunting symmetry between Apple’s current trajectory and the slow declines of once-mighty giants like Kodak and RIM. They too…

  • Once upon a time, the world looked to you for dreams. Your stories lit up the dark. You taught us to hope, to fight, to love bigger than we ever thought we could. You drew us into the theaters–Heck! My first real job, at fifteen, was that of being an usher at the Algonquin Theater…
