Old hippie. Writer. Nothing to do with the rock group Journey. Play ukulele, practice an Indonesian martial art, have a Corgi, kids, grandkids, all like that.
@steveperry I keep thinking about offering to fix it all. I didn't enjoy working with them, 30 years ago, and they didn't enjoy working with me, but at least on my side, I'm SO MUCH CALMER THESE DAYS.
Probably not. I've got a lot on my plate, for a retired guy.
@steveperry :D I've had people tell me I didn't understand Boba Fett *at all.*
Dude. Boba Fett had 6 minutes of screen time and five lines of dialog in the original trilogy. You may not like what I did with that seed, but there was no Fett there to "understand," really.
Dan at 20: People are having a fan argument about whether Star Trek novels are "canon."
Dan@20 could A) join in, B) play basketball, C) wash his hair for about the next eight years, D) go talk to that pretty girl.
I don't believe fan arguments ever won out, and I've gotten modestly less geeky with the passage of the decades.
I admit, sometimes I've argued with myself if something *I* wrote is canon in my universe. Those can get heated, but there's only sometimes insults or raised voices.
A fellow once emailed me with an offer of coursework to help me improve my Big Data skills.
At the bottom of his email he had, uncredited, the quote, "You can have data without information, but you cannot have information without data."
"Poor old Bugs," Daffy says. "But anyway you look at it, it's better he should suffer. After all it was me or him and obviously it couldn't be me. It's a simple matter of logic.
"I'm not like other people. I can't stand pain. It hurts me."
For my money, Sinners should have swept the Oscars.
In another few generations almost no one alive will understand exactly how humans once ran an entire civilization on wood pulp and ink.
Just saw a note from his family that William Dietz, the space-opera/military SF writer, has passed away. He was a couple years older than I.
Damn.
Fifteen years ago — fifteen, count ‘em — I wrote another anti-war song.
Scary how most of it still applies. Or really, how any anti-war song applies.
