There’s been an ad running on the local TV stations lately that just strikes me as perverse: an attraction in Branson is going to have – get this! – a giant ice sculpture of the Titanic!

Hey, great idea. Let’s also do a statue of JFK from spent shotgun shell casings. I could go on, but it’d only get more perverse from there. And somebody thougt this was a good idea!?… Read more

Television & Movies

I'd rather listen to a 9-CD box set of Vogon poetry Now that I’m back in the teevee trenches, I get the dubious honor of watching stuff that I would never touch off-the-clock. Well, not so much watching as… what’s the official word? Monitoring. That’s it.

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.

Gene-ology Mailbag #2

Gene-ology has been covering Gene Roddenberry's early TV writing for a year now, so it's an opportune time for Ashley and Earl to take a well-deserved break from the wild west and dig into your comments and questions on past episodes of the podcast.
