    Thoughts on AI Art (Redux)

    Well, that didn’t take very long. About a year ago, I wrote this opinion piece on art generated by artificial intelligence (AI). While the algorithms were popping out images that were aesthetically very impressive, my primary argument for why creatives should not feel threatened was based on the overwhelming amount of incoherence I observed in… Read more

    Works in Progress (I’m Not Dead)

    In case it’s not excruciatingly obvious, I’m an indie author. I have a family and a full-time job, and since my last update here I got swallowed up in the incessant swells and squalls on the high seas of life. But now I’m back on dry land, saddled up on the great word machine, and… Read more

    New Author Preparing for Launch

    Creating this website and claiming my domain was an important first step for me. This was an act of affirmation, a declaration to myself and to the world that I am ready to begin life as an author.

    Travel in the UK: England

    Traveling to the UK has been a goal of mine for many years. At the age of 34, I applied for my first US Passport, and set my sights on Britain. Historically, members of my family have never left the United States, either due to lack of opportunity or a lack of interest in seeing… Read more
