My review of Joss Whedon: the Complete Companion, a compendium of articles and essays on all of Whedon’s creations (and I mean all), is now on Escape Pod. Read it here.

Several of my articles from January, February, and March are reprinted in Soundproof Digest #1. If you want to read them on your e-reading device, you can download ePub, PDF, or Mobi versions here.

Oh, and there’s a bunch of good stories in there too.

My “review” of the Deep Space Nine episode “Our Man Bashir” is now up on Escape Pod. Read it here.

What do you do after your 1986 movie achieves cult status? Well, if you’re lucky, you get to make a sequel. When that sequel bombs, you get to make another sequel. If the third film bombs, maybe you’ll be lucky enough to get your intellectual property turned into a TV series that gets passable ratings and hangs around for six years — long enough to justify a fourth film in the series.

In other words… someone made Highlander: Endgame, the fourth movie in the series. And I watched it. More than once.

I’m playing Mr. Cragg in “When the Black Bird Circles Back” by Greg van Eekhout. Listen here.

I’m reading David Carani’s “The Paradise Aperture” in this week’s StarShipSofa. The story is in this year’s Writers Of The Future anthology as well.

Click here to hear it.

This week on the Drabblecast, I’m narrating “Divorce in the House of Flies” by Dustin Reade. Click here to put it in your ears.

As of this writing, Suzanne Collins’s Hunger Games series has made her the best-selling Kindle author of all time. That’s quite an accomplishment. But even before that happened, it was inevitable that the Hunger Games phenomenon would become a film. After all, with the end of both Harry Potter and Twilight on the horizon, studios were looking for their next big book-to-movie hit.

Well, they found it, and on March 23, The Hunger Games was released to American audiences.

My review of The Hunger Games is now up on Escape Pod.

My short-story “Greener”, which I’m very proud of, is in the April/May 2012 issue of Asimov’s. Click here to put it in your eyeballs.

I am performing “The Funeral”, by Christopher Munroe, in Issue 31 of “Journey Into”.

About a year and a half ago, I wrote a post about how fast data storage technology is expanding. My example was my USB drive, which holds eight hundred times as much data in something the size of my finger than my very first hard drive, which was about the size of half a frozen dinner.
My article The Speed of Sci-Fi, Revisited is now up on Escape Pod.
I vaguely remember seeing Return to Oz in theaters as a child and deciding that the movie was good, but scary. As an adult, I’m quite surprised at how creepy and disturbing the film’s imagery was. In Oz alone, we have the insane behavior of the Wheelers, the mirror-palace where Mombi resides, and even the Gump, who should’ve quit while he was a head.

I’m reading “The Speed of Time” by Jay Lake over at Escape Pod.
