David Lynch Directs My Life
I left the lab and returned to my office building around 11:00 AM on Friday, frustrated and working on a caffeine headache. I walked past the men’s restroom. Standing in the open doorway was a man wearing a white t-shirt that was tight over his belly and blue nylon shorts. He looked like my gym teacher. He was facing into the room. At this point I hear a muffled and anxious...

Things are Afoot
I’ve been working like crazy all week, and things have been changing out from under my feet, but it’s all good. I feel alive, I feel inspired, I feel good. Keep making things, everybody. We’re on each other’s side.

California Dreaming
Because I couldn’t think of a more clichéd title. It’s really difficult for me to describe how California’s changed me. I’ve lived here for a year now, and I know I’m different, but I’m not always sure how. In Indiana, the “practicality” of your profession really matters. If you’re a writer, it’s important that you’ve sold...

Ad Astra!
Now that I’ve had a few days to chew over my experience at MaxFunCon, I might be able to say something other than “Awesome!” about it. Despite the laughing, the drinking, and the making new friends, I took away a few serious lessons from the weekend. The convocation is all about becoming more, and I learned a lot about that: Dream Big. There’s no reason you can’t be...

La Ciudad
I’m in Los Angeles hanging out for a few days. I know I’m supposed to bash on LA since I live in the Bay Area, but I won’t. You don’t get tacos like this in SF. But you have to drive EVERYWHERE in LA. And don’t get me started on the PEOPLE.

I've Got a Bridge to Sell Ya
The assumption that the rating agencies knew their business, a key enabler of the subprime meltdown, is analogous to the view before the Iraq war that Saddam Hussein had WMD. There are a lot of people now who scoff about what an obvious fallacy that was and not many who can point to doubts expressed at the time. Ridiculous. As someone who was alive and on the internet in 2003, I certainly...
