  • The Dayton Prairie

    The Dayton Prairie

      Only remnants remain, mostly re-created in the local parks. As fall ushers in the end of the year, things are still blooming, still storing nutrients against the bleak winter. This was a perfect day to go walk through the tall grasses and feel the caress of the ceaseless wind.  I took the First Reader…

  • Ready to Time Travel?

    Ready to Time Travel?

      A new mathematical model purports to show that time travel without paradox is possible.  As a writer, I’m looking at the article thinking… just how many ways could this go wrong?  “The range of mathematical processes we discovered show that time travel with free will is logically possible in our universe without any paradox.”

  • Look into History: Popular Mechanics

    Look into History: Popular Mechanics

      When they didn’t know that’s what it was. Thanks to a tip from Bustedknuckles, in a post about something else, I discovered that the entire back catalog of Popular Mechanics, back to January 1905, were available online.  This is… I have no idea what I’ll use it for. But it’s entertaining just to read…

  • Early Cell Division: Art

    Early Cell Division: Art

      Sometimes I find things deep in the fractal universes that set my mind wandering down other paths. Like this one, which made me think about the patterns of early cell division in a developing embryo. I started to think about deuterostomes, and cell spirals, and the membranes that both divide and bind cell walls…

  • Happy Constitution Day

    Happy Constitution Day

      On this day, 233 years ago, a most important and revolutionary document was signed…  We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity,…

  • Story Seeds of Science

    Story Seeds of Science

      I am always interested in what’s going on in the world, but I try to look at it through a different lens.  One of those lenses is the scientific news, and when I’m looking at it, I’m often looking at it from the point of view of an author. I find it fertile ground…

  • School at Home

    School at Home

      This isn’t going to be a long post, it’s a quick intro to a topic I’ll be blogging on at least once a week going forward.  The Little Man is 15 now, and a sophomore, and would like me to let you know that he’s being homeschooled. I talked to him at the beginning…

  • R&R

    R&R

      This last weekend I took some time off. Not from the day job – but from Sanderley Studios. I’ve been writing darn near every day this year, and I needed a little break from it. However, the First Reader and I made up for words on paper by spending a few hours driving together…

  • Honest to Pete

    Honest to Pete

      I’m alive. I think. Anyway, it feels like it. The pulled back muscle is starting to ease up. Which makes sitting at the desk easier, but I’ve been inundated with stuff to do…  Did I mention we are homeschooling the Little Man for his sophmore year? Yes. That’s… an adventure. He’s enthusiastic about it,…

  • Love and Petnames

    Love and Petnames

      I let the dog in from the back porch, and told her with all affection that she is a filthy animal. Which she is. Earlier this year she began a long project of excavating an impressive wallow in my back flower garden (coffweedbedcoff) and she had been rolling in the dust. I then carried…

  • Saturday Book Display

    Saturday Book Display

       Letting out my inner librarian to set up a lovely shelf of new arrivals, sales, and Things You Will Like reading…  Check these out!  Make sure to review on return…  Lab Gremlins is on sale for 0.99$ through September 8    All Steven wanted was a lab job to get experience. His boss acted…

  • I’ve Cracked up and there are Chickens Involved

    I’ve Cracked up and there are Chickens Involved

      So a while back an author whose social media presence often involves various critters from her farm (which I hugely enjoy) threw out an idea. Quarantine is boring. Life is stressful. We should do something.  Being authors, she proposed we write. With chickens. And humor.  I was all in.  What came out of that…
