  • Time Travel – one paradox solved – Bootstrapping

    “The bootstrap paradox. This occurs “when something is created out of nothing or something is causing itself”, says Barak Shoshany. Suppose, he suggests, that a time machine appears in your room right now. An older version of you steps out, announces they are from 10 years in the future, and gives you the plans for the…

  • Blinkist… and it’s gone.

    I have seen the bombardment of adTrolling of the APP, Blinkist.  The message seems to be that if you are not using this APP then you will fall behind of those who do. In a nutshell, it is the digital, cleverly updated, version of CliffsNotes (I’m surprised the APP Icon is not yellow and black…

  • Should writers use AI? Yes, and here’s why.

    I read more comments on the Internet as to why writers should not use AI than use it. I am going to remind everyone of the calculator. Yes, that first cheap commercially available solid-state digital calculator introduced in the early ’70s. I had one of the first calculators (Texas Instruments SR-50) in my school because…

  • In CORPO – An Off-Broadway Production of a dystopian future–– just maybe our own.

    I recently attended the off-Broadway musical production, In CORPO, which explores the modern-day stranglehold of Corporate America over its employees,. Where thoughts are not private and all are gaslighted into thinking they cannot survive outside of CORPO.   Though the production itself was not as clean as it could have been, the overall message got my…

  • Do you get nightmares from your writing?

    As I’m writing several novels at once (probably not a good idea), there is one in particular (HUM) giving me nightmares. I think I can speak for most writers in that we become so immersed in the writing it feels as though we are there. In my case, dreamtime is an opportunity to play out…

  • The Metaverse is my little oyster?

    And so it begins… again. After reading Neal Stephenson’s, “Snow Crash“, (pre internet), the 1992 Sci-Fi that coined the Metaverse–– I had such hope for virtual online tech. I was thrilled when SecondLife.com arrived and the creators (Linden Labs) stated using Snow Crash as their blueprint. In the beginning it was very much like the…

  • Amazon Vella Platform is Live

    The Amazon Vella platform has been released. This platform brings writers together with their readers, one episode at a time. My collection of shorts is called End Of Days. I was kicking back with a friend and we got to talking about life, and what if it was our last day on Earth. One of…

  • What really matter(s)

    Take a break from the idiocracy. Gazing into these images, I can’t help but think our existence is a conscienceless for the universe to identify what, itself, is. I write Science Fiction as a means of inventing future tech to see these wonders for myself. Click on the image below to see the Astronomy Photographer…

  • Amazon’s Kindle Vella On The Horizon

    Amazon will be introducing a new platform for writers and readers called Kindle Vella. If you are familiar with WattPad, it is very similar, allowing the author to release episodes one at a time, while interacting with their readers. This methodology has proven very effective for new writers on WattPad, including me, but add to…

  • I know what county you are from

    “I know what county you are from….“ My moniker for Science Fiction writers has always been, “Science Fiction Is Fact That Just Hasn’t Happened Yet.”  Big deal… So what….  Anyone with a brain can see that…. Sure, easy peasy at the hundred-thousand-foot view. But can you see it at the ten thousand foot view?  How…
