I'm a historian turned game designer turned comic book publisher turned novelist and good natured raconteur. My first two novels, Geek Mafia and Geek Mafia: Mile Zero led me to spend more and more time with the hacker community in the US and abroad and ...

- 5 months agoI first came across the idea in William Gibson's novel Virtual Light, and he plays with the idea some in his new novel, Spook Country. But for my money, the coolest sci-fi interpretation is in Vernor Vinge's award winning novel, Rainbows End, which I loved through and through and recommend ...
- 5 months agoI've been playing Dungeons & Dragons off and on for a really long time. If my math and memory are right, I started iin third grade which makes it somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 years. Oh, man, I hadn't done that math before. That's a really long freaking time. I played D&D and ...
- 5 months agoMedia Glutton, June 13, 2008: HULK SMASH! Just got back from seeing the early show of the new Hulk movie. I really do like the AMC $5 morning movie rate on weekends - it makes seeing films so affordable that I don't mind risking some cash. I wasn't very excited about the new Hulk, and as ...
- 5 months agoThe big future issue in the US these days is of course the very, very near future of the presidential elections in November. Now that we've got our candidates, one of who will make a great president and the other of whom is John McCain, the pundits, reporters, coffee shop wags, and everyone ...
- 5 months agoMedia Glutton: Reviewing Obedience, Firefly Rain, and others Double dipping of Media Glutton this week - part of the fallout of my massive dose of free bookage this past weekend. Plus I just saw Kung Fu Panda and wanted to get in a good word about that right away. So ...
- 6 months agoI've just returned from Los Angeles where I was doing a reading at the Write To The City event being held in unofficial conjunction with this year's Book Expo America. The event went amazing - a tone of people showed up and the venue was packed for all nine of the crime writers' readings, ...
- 6 months agoI watched the Diane Lane thriller Untraceable over the weekend on DVD. I was wary of the film, as any movie centering around hacking and the internet is bound to get some really basic things wrong that will piss me off. But I was desperate for something mentally light yet thrilling, and ...
- 6 months agoWii Fit! I've seen the future of exercise and it looks a lot like a scale without any numbers on it. OK, "the future of exercise" might be a bit hyperbolic - the Wii Fit is by no means the most perfect exercise aid ever invented, and there is plenty of room for improvement and ...
- 6 months agoMedia Glutton May 22nd, 2008 So I decided to wait until today to write up this week's gluttony because I wanted to write about the new Indiana Jones movie. I can say with some assurance that it was not, in any sense, worth the wait. The movie is aggressively mediocre in its execution, and ...
- 6 months agoI was having a debate with an old high school friend a couple years ago about the war in Iraq. We hadn't seen each other in quite a while, and he'd grown up more than a little right of center and I'd drifted far to the left, so our points of view were quite different as you might ...
