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…

Another Man’s DG
While walking the dog I had a random thought: Why did I use “Local Boy Done Good” instead of “Local Boy Done Gone” in TP? This question came out of nowhere. There was no internal debate over the name of Local Boy or his album during the writing phase. I honestly don’t remember any distinct…
Similarities
Just got back from a trip to Hawaii where I got quite a bit of reading and writing done. Oddly enough, the last 3 books I’ve read bore some interesting similarities to Timely Persuasion. Anathem by Neal Stephenson Set in an alternate universe of the far future, the novel introduces the concept of the Hylaean…
ARG(hhh!) Again, Naturally
Here we go again. Back in November I wrote a post that detailed my small brush with infamy related to DarmaWantsYou.com. This week saw the stars align for another 15 minutes of fame that felt worthy of revisiting. The rough timeline: February 29, 2008 Timely Persuasion is released. The book includes 2 hidden easter eggs…
First Impressions on Wilco (The Album)
The new Wilco record is streaming for free at the band’s official site (www.wilcoworld.net), so I thought I’d blog my early impressions. To be fair, “first” impressions in the title is a slight exaggeration; this is technically my third listen that I’m writing about. (And in the interest of full disclosure: I’m notorious for disliking…
Kindling
Timely Persuasion is now available on the Amazon Kindle for the low price of $1.99. (I figure if you shelled out $359 for a Kindle you like to read and deserve cheap content.) Don’t have a Kindle? Kindle books can also be read on the iPhone & iPod Touch. No new bonus lyrical references this…
141 Parentheticals
(Me, myself, and I actually, but what’s the difference?) (Thank god their union never resulted in kids!) (Or knowing I wouldn’t see them but hoping better?) (I realize now that just because he was old wouldn’t necessarily mean he was handicapped, but that was the first thought that came to mind at the time. Ageism…
15 Years
Couldn’t let today pass by without at least some sort of acknowledgment. 15 years. Wow. Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain: Still Missed, By Kurt Loder Also, here is my related post from 1 year ago today: Pretending I’m Like Kurt Cobain
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…
