I'm now back on my steady diet of "Joe Ledger" books by Jonathan Maberry, the latest being #9, Dogs of War. The threat this time is autonomous robot dogs run by AI, running amok. It's as well done as the others, but I can't help but visualize Skippy, the robot dog from the original animated...

I had my head shaved three Saturdays ago...but only after I had the barber gather up individual clumps of my hair, rubber band each clump tightly, and cut it off as close to the scalp as possible. This is the second time I've donated my hair to Wigs for Kids, a charity that takes donated hair...

I'm coming in late to the discussion about "prove it's you" information involved in password resets, but I knew a guy who used "Your mom" as the answer to all of his preset questions. Q: What was the name of the street you lived on in high school? A: Your mom. Q: What was the name of your...

I just got back from my week-long business trip, where Jonathan Maberry's "Joe Ledger" novels were my primary source of entertainment. I finished #6, Code Zero, then went through #7, Predator One, and #8, Kill Switch, which dealt with terrorists taking over machines remotely and the Cthulhu...

I'd throw Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes tales in the mix. And O. Henry pretty much mastered the short story with a twist. For an interesting blending of Sherlock Holmes and the Cthulhu Mythos, try Neil Gaiman's "A Study in Emerald." And I always liked his "Other People," which...

They say the first 50 years are the easiest.... Johnathan

I'm now on book 5 in the Joe Ledger series: The Extinction Machine by Jonathan Maberry. While the previous book dealt with an unusual take on vampires (what's worse than fighting vampires? - fighting vampires who have access to nukes!), this one apparently is going to be dealing with the use of...

If I recall correctly, later in the series there's a whole episode revolving around Morn...and he still doesn't say a line on-screen. Johnathan
