		<title>My crazy &#8216;Inception&#8217; theory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So this is a little out there. Inception, as you know if you care, is the latest movie by Christopher Nolan, and has been called &#8216;James Bond meets The Matrix.&#8217; Nolan is known as a writer and director for clever, intricate-ly plotted films such as Memento and The Prestige and the rebooted Batman franchise, Batman [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fun With Dialogue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the first scene of the first day of my NaNo2k4 project, The Sky Pirate. Do I find dialogue fun or not? You be the judge! “It was a moonlit night, and magic was in the air,” whispered Eggplant nervously as he crouched behind the barrels with the others. “Ssh,” said Bola, trying to [...]]]></description>

		<title>The art and craft of conjuring names</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How do I know when I have the right name? When it just&#8230; fits. My WIP, The Adventures of the Sky Pirate, is a hybrid swashbuckling / steampunk / space opera, some of which takes place on a planet that is not Earth but was inhabited by people from Earth. Therefore, some names are familiar [...]]]></description>

		<title>Buried!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[12&#8243; of thick wet snow were dumped on us here in S. WI overnight, and pretty much everything is closed today. I&#8217;m working from home today and enjoying a) VPN access to work, and b) lapdogs. The system seems to have sat down over us and slowing spinning as it adds new snow to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Interviewed at the AuthorCulture blog!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Katie Weiland was kind (or reckless) enough to interview me for the AuthorCulture blog. She asked fun questions, and I replied with what may be considered provocative answers. In the interview, I talk about the genesis of Ray Gun Revival magazine and my &#8220;Adventures of the Sky Pirate&#8221; serial novel, as well as the challenges [...]]]></description>

		<title>The best new SciFi series of the year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s not V. Will it be The Prisoner with Jim Caviezel and Ian McKellen? The reboot of the clever 60&#8242;s spy / psychological thriller with Patrick McGoohan looks very promising, and headlines two titans in a war of wills as they play around with the fundamental idea of what is freedom. An update to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8216;V&#8217; is for &#8216;vapid,&#8217; &#8216;vacuous&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am extremely sad to report that the rebooted ABC sci-fi series V is neither fresh nor bold, but is instead merely vapid1 and vacuous2. I know, that sounds harsh, especially considering the show&#8217;s &#8216;MASSIVE&#8217; ratings, but it is what it is. Look, I knew within the first five minutes that Joss Whedon had a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I&#8217;m not joining the &#8216;REMOVE &#8220;f**k Jesus Christ&#8221; in Facebook&#8217; group</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First, Jesus is my Lord. I say that clearly and easily. The Jesus of the Bible is more than just a sage or a wise man, he is the living Son of the living God, and has literally changed my life for the better. He is as heroic a historic character as there is in [...]]]></description>
