Thank you very much for letting me see "Secondary Interface." I'm sorry it didn't strike me as quite suitable to our present needs.
Sincerely,

So I'll see about posting it on the web somewhere.

Just submitted a short-short (1500 word) humorous SF story to Analog SF magazine with the captioned title. It is intended for their "Probability Zero" section. We'll see if it's good enough for them. If not, it's good enough for the internet!
Gweepr/Zed is looking for creative people to collaborate on an animation project: Attack From The Third Dimension! Contributions from writers, artists, animators, set designers, modelers, composers, musicians, and sound designers are eagerly sought. The intent is to transform the existing radio play into a 16-million-color pixellated piece of SF comedy awesomeness.
Watch the trailer/invite on YouTube to get a feel for what it might look like.

A tribute to robots past, present, and future; real and imagined. We blame technology for a lot, but what if it could argue back? Original music released 8/2001.

... thanks to Google Sites. The site is not finished; I will be building it out gradually. But at least there is something in place after an inexcusably long hiatus.

After nearly a year of leaving it molder on the hard drive, I'm back to work on the I'm Just A Robot music video. I put in 16 hours in the last 3.5 weeks. Approximately half of the ~7000 underlying frames have been rendered to PNG format. (There will be lyrics overlaid; those are long done.) But that's the easy half, so it will take more than 16 hours to complete.
The music was done in 2000 and since it was only my 4th song, I wasn't in the habit of tracking work hours. The video has taken over 100 hours since it was started in August of 2010. Hopefully I can roll it out before this August - along with a new website.

A Perspective on Death in the Guns in America Symposium.
I just got published! (sort of, not really [1])
It's a science fiction story. (sort of, not really [2])
It was well-received. (true!)
Lybertopia
[1] The League of Ordinary Gentlemen is a blog. But I had to get my submission accepted; that was not guaranteed.
[2] It's a slice-of-life, not a story. No plot. Could be the beginning of a story.

I just stumbled on David Friedman's 6/17/2010 post today because I was hoping to find something about his fabulous book, The Machinery of Freedom. This is a book I had read and thought I owned but apparently not. Now I do, thanks to Dr. Friedman.

Reading what I posted yesterday, it's too long and it rambles and yet it probably doesn't say enough. I'll try to boil it down to essentials in one last post.

Of course government jobs are real jobs; it is debate hyperbole to say they aren't. When a civil servant or contractor shows up, does something, and gets paid for it, that's a real job.…

Libertarian political beliefs are best understood in contrast to what I will call governmentarian beliefs. (This neologism is introduced for lack of an…
