I’ve mentioned the illustrated web-based time travel serial Trickshot a couple of times previously during its work in progress days, but now that it has reached completion I decided another full-blown post was in order. What’s the best way to tell a time travel story out of order? To tell it in order. That’s the…

Someone Else is Rediscovering Pavement
The best love letter to a band disguised as a letter to your past self (or is it vice versa?) that I have ever read: Wait, You’ve Never Heard: Pavement — Brighten The Corners My favorite quote: “There’s a magic to the moment you finally love a band, and anyone who says he or she was with…
Expiration Date = TP Remake?
Just finished reading an awesome novel featuring: A recently unemployed journalist who goes back in time A musician father in the past Time travel that works by just thinking hard about a specific date An inability to visit the same date twice Being ghost-like and invisible to most people while back in time Always traveling…
Ramblings IV
Been re-watching LOST in anticipation of the final season. Â Finished off Season 1, then decided to jump straight to Season 5 presuming these two will be the most relevant to Season 6. Â I’m still impressed with how well the time travel was handled in a “Whatever Happened, Happened” sort of way last year. Â Biggest hindsight…

I even had Al using an iPhone-based Ziggy in my fanfic story for the Leap Back Convention, “Just Like Starting Over.” Ask and ye shall receive: Ziggy Lights-On The game itself is…

Ramblings III
Whenever I (legally) drive through a yellow light it makes me think of Back to the Future and how difficult it would logistically be to time driving through a lightning strike with such precision. Read a cool short story called “The Variant” by John August. Well worth the 99 cent price tag. And without giving…
Leap Back Convention Recap
Last weekend I attended The Leap Back 20th Anniversary Quantum Leap Convention. Having never been to any type of fan convention before I didn’t really know what to expect. Here are some thoughts: Highlights: “A Leap To Di For” A brand new fan-made episode of the show. I admit I was a little skeptical about…
The Tweet Back
To date, I haven’t exactly been the model Twitter user. I have it set to automatically send tweets whenever this blog or LB-DG.com are updated (via twitterfeed), but aside from that I’ve rarely touched it. But that’s going to change this weekend. As my Twitter trial by fire, I’m going to post periodic thoughts and…
