There are fans who spend considerable amounts of money to turn their basements into shrines to sports teams, musicians, and bars.
There are fair-weather fans who only like something if it’s popular or successful. There are anti-fans who maybe at one time in their life loved something, but only follow…
Thursday was Thanksgiving. I spent it with my family, my brother’s family, and my parents. We didn’t do it last year, so this year’s get-together was all the more special. We overate, watched a little football, and generally enjoyed each other’s company.
As the year winds down, we generally celebrate…
Recently, my wife and I discussed technology and not being in the moment. I was asked how long I could go without my internet-connected phone or computer? Am I addicted to social media, constant updates, and instant validation?
I was told I’m short, angrier, and distracted. It made me question…
I read both Dune and the Foundation trilogy in college, and they were old works even then.

I got sucked into watching Mr. Corman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s new show streaming on AppleTV. I think it’s one of the best swings and misses I’ve ever seen. The pilot is great, and it’s easy to see why AppleTV wanted to turn it into a series. The problem is the vision…
I’ve been feeling nostalgic lately and decided to try and list off the top of my head the essential music during my formative years through college. I went to high school and college during the 80s, so a lot of that decade is represented.
I thought this might be tough…
Just a few days into September and all the new and returning network and streaming shows are getting premiere dates. This year, what I’ve noticed is there are a lot of brand new streaming shows that have caught my interest.
Although, so far, Nine Perfect Strangers doesn’t appeal to me…
