A retired high-tech glassblower, lifelong learner and critical digital humanist, I glean meaning from experiences and tell stories.
Born in Hollywood the year James Dean died, grew up in Nixon's Whittier as Disney's land metasticized in nearby Orange County.
I worked in "Surveillance Valley" for 20 years.
Now back in Whittier.

To be clear: this is the man who orchestrated the California government's removal of the Green Party's candidate from this month's primary ballot. I had to write in Butch Ware. And I always vote third party.

Great job Google. Chrome updated and borked all my Google accounts! Luckily I have many browsers that still work.

Star Wars was a mashup — they pulled from westerns, samurai movies, Flash Gordon — but perhaps the biggest homage was lifting an entire scene from The Dam Busters (1955) for the Death Star attack. "Some of the dialogue is nearly identical." https://kottke.org/26/06/star-wars-influences-dam-busters
Star Wars Influences: Dam Busters

The original Star Wars movie was a mashup. George Lucas and his collaborators pulled from everywhere: westerns, samurai movies, Flash Gordon, and a 1955 war
