Homsar and the artist formerly known as...
I’m trying to think of a suitably Homsar phrase here, but I got nothin’. 😆 Submit your entries below!
No mid-south gaming get-together today due to the roads; it’ll be rescheduled for sometime in January, I believe, which will be good since I won’t be recovering from a sweeps month. I was looking forward to the “Wii-kend at Bernie’s,” but to be honest, I was wiped. I’ve wandered aimlessly around my house all day in a zombie-like state, burning dinner and dessert and DVDs.… Read more

Mark Holtz sent me this link after submitting thelogbook.com to this site for a checkup; basically, it puts your URL of choice into a queue to grab screenshots of your site in several browsers to check for web standards compliance. The fact that the site’s main page now shows almost no variance from browser to browser, despite the fact that it’s one of the most tricked-out new portions of the site (what with its drop-down side menus, the new top menu, random header images, lined-up-by-almost-careful-planning-and-the-grace-of-God graphical menus and whatnot), makes me a very happy puppy.
You know, for it being two days after the end of sweeps, I’m still waiting for it to feel like sweeps is over.… Read more

I'm just your typical compulsively-writing, sci-fi-and-science-obsessed, classic-video-game-playing, action-figure-collecting dad.

That's me in red with the smooth round head.

I edit Mission Log: A Roddenberry Star Trek Podcast and its sister shows Mission Log: Prodigy and Mission Log: The Orville for Roddenberry Podcasts. I was a frequent writer, editor, and voice on the daily Sci-Fi 5 podcast for Roddenberry, and I created and currently co-host Mission Log: Gene-ology. I handle video production on Mission Log Live, Mission Log: Prodigy and Mission Log: The Orville. I'm the technical director for the TrekTalks online telethon event benefiting Hollywood Food Coalition.

I also run theLogBook.com/theLogBook.media and host podcasts here, including Retrogram, Select Game and Don't Give This Tape To Earl. I've written several books (WARP!1, VWORP!1, VWORP!2, and "Fatherhood, Fandom And Fading Out), and produced the Phosphor Dot Fossils video game documentaries. On YouTube, I still occasionally produce and host the ongoing Phosphor Dot Fossils and Voyages Of Shelf Discovery series. Follow me on Twitter @LogBookGuy, like theLogBook.com on Facebook, or contact me here.
