Soon To Be Mooned
A few aggregated facts about our impact on the planet earth that should have jolted us from our business-as-usual mindsets but hasn’t: At this moment, there are roughly 1 billion people […]

How I Learned To Love Coronal Mass Ejections

A Ray of Hope
What if you never had to pay another utility bill for the rest of your life? What if, instead of dishing-out for oil, gas, or electric every month, you got paid […]
Missive From Morocco #6 – Anatomy of an Assassination
I died last night. Literally… “General Yuya” bit the dust and that’s what you get when you refuse loyalty to a child king. Tutankhamun may have been the chosen pharaoh of […]

Your Molecules Or Your Life
Security through biology: like everything else that’s ostensibly science-fiction, it was real before it was make-believe. For the last five years, enforcement agencies across this slowly decaying, still great nation, have […]
History of the Friars Club

The Friars Foundation Lincoln Awards

Friars Icons
Betty White, flanked by two well-lubed bodybuilders, taking stage on a snow white pony? Quentin Tarantino and Uma Thurman slurping champagne from a pair of her six inch Louboutins? Louis C.K. […]

5:30 am and I’m ferreting in the dark for a snooze button. My alarm is weaker than usual. Maybe I forgot to kick the volume up before I hit the sack. What’s […]
Missive From Morocco #1 – the adventure begins
Week one of working on Tut, Spike TV’s maiden drama series, directed by David Von Ancken and starring Sir Ben Kingsley. I’m playing a general in King Tut’s army and I’ve been knee […]
