Free content - particularly in the audio fiction space - suddenly seems a lot less of a perpetual free lunch than it did six months ago, and it’s got a lot of folks freaking out in my corner of the Internet. Providers are dropping like flies this year! Matthew Wayne Selznick and J.C. [...]

Are the New Atheists Bad for Science?
By J. Daniel Sawyer
In an article on Beliefnet this week, Michael Ruse argues that the “new atheists” are a “bloody disaster.” He argues using a mixture of caricatures, complaints, and criticisms, so before I go into why I think the man is full of organic fertilizer on the [...]
I’m stopping in to give you all a quick digest on my recent activities, which have been many, prolific, and at hopefully somewhat scandalous.
First, the appearances. You can find me on recent episodes of Podioracket, The Dead Robots Society, and doing voice work as the German Army in Philippa Ballantine’s Weather Child. You [...]
I’ve updated the Media Appearances and Publications pages, for those of you who want to be current on what I’ve been up to besides my podcasts and blogging.
Some highlights and lowlights of 2008
This year, particularly the second half, has seen a lot of people turn very pessimistic about, well, everything. Yeah, the economy’s slowing down. Yeah, people like me are scrambling just to make ends meet - when money goes slow everywhere, it hits the arts hard. And yeah, [...]
I’ve been a bit delinquent about updating the publications page, but I’ve just caught it up. New articles from yours truly recently released into the wild include a review of the HP MediaVault Pro in the current issue of LinuxJournal, and a review of Xara Xtreme in last month’s issue.
When the days are long, and the heat is oppressive, and the construction site next door is pouring the smelliest damn asphalt you’ve ever smelt, and you’re starting to get cramps from the stress…well, you know it’s that time of the month. The time of the month when only one thing can save you: [...]
Well, it’s official. I interviewed Cory Doctorow for a LinuxJournal earlier this week, and just got done transcribing the interview. He’s not the fastest mouth in the west, but man does he talk fast. At the end of the transcription I clocked his word-rate, subtracting out the gaps where I was asking [...]
When you mix cocaine and heroin, you get a concoction that was once upon a time called a “speedball.” Two highly euphoric drugs married together to marinate your synapses in life-destroying pleasure — what could be better?
Well, how about two consecutive months of two articles per month in LinuxJournal?
Last month, you may [...]
That’s right, ladies, germs, and droogies of all persuasions, it’s time for another double-article spectacular in this month’s LinuxJournal. This month, I take on the eternal question facing all podcasters: “What VOIP program is right for me?”
Needless to say, I am shamelessly opinionated on the topic.
For an encore, I team up with my hardware [...]
That’s right, my little droogies, the time has come once again to partake of the LinuxJournal kool-aid! This month, your humble narrator has two articles on offer - one talking about the deepest needs of desktop users, and the other reviewing, in depth, the current crop of multitrack video editors for Linux. May [...]
For your edification, the publications page has been updated with more information on the subversive screeds sold to the seditions press by your salacious storyteller…
Okay, they’re not salacious stories. Not yet. They’re tech articles. You gotta admit, though, the alliteration is all right. Seriously, salacious storytelling sales will subsequently follow, sometime before next Saturnalia, says [...]
Your humble narrator appears on today’s Linux Tech Talk Show talking Linux, Science Fiction, and Podcasting. Check it out!
Or a podcaster? Or just a bloke with a really sexy sound box? Well, look no further, my friends! Your humble narrator has told all in his new article. This month’s LinuxJournal contains all you need to know about creating a field recorder for podcasting, multitrack event recording, and generally causing [...]
Welcome, my erstwhile disciples, and gather around for the newest exercise in computing obscenity. You see, LinuxJournal has just released another article of mine, and this time I actually lie. Yes, lie through the whole thing. It’s not so much that the information is not accurate - it is. Exceedingly and [...]
