Stranger on a Train XXX: A Perspective on Death
My friend, Patrick, is dying. Thing is, he didn’t know he was dying. He wasn’t feeling good so he went to the doctor to try and figure out what was going on. That was July. It’s now August,...
Stranger on a Train XXIX
Four days of Photoshop. Eight lessons with a few bonus skills added into the mix. I have to work a bit on Day One of Level 2; but once I took a lesson from Kacy Catanzaro and took a steadier pace...
Stranger on a Train: XXVIII
Knocked it out of the fucking park. No, I don’t like to brag. Not my thing. Too many times when I’ve been kicked in the teeth by those in Corporate America, but today I’m shouting it from t...
Snowpiercer: The Best Science Fiction Film of the Year (that Hollywood wanted to fail)
If you’re a fan of film, especially science fiction and film, you may have heard of this low budget “art†film, Snowpiercer. Describing it as an art film may insinuate this dys...
Stranger on a Train: XXVII
After three days of coding and teaching, I’m still walking. I was kind of hoping for that Nick M.F. Fury rescue because, let’s talk real, moments of badassery like that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D....
Stranger on a Train: XXVI
Exhausted. I am exhausted…but face a night of class prep. Maybe I can pick up a few Zs on the way home, but a coding class is life-sucking to say the least. It is just HTML and CSS, and yet I f...
Much Ado About Nothing: The Brouhaha over #AmtrakResidency’s Terms of Service
You may have heard, if you’re friends with writers, that Amtrak, inspired by an exchange on Twitter, has come up with a really cool program called #AmtrakResidency where writers can catch ...
Stranger on a Train XXV
An entirely different kind of day. First day back to work for a lot of people today, and you can tell everything just feels different. I saw a lot of people smiling this morning. I noticed a lot ...
Stranger on a Train XXIV
A day of surprises. Started a brief gig today without knowing a lot of the details. This is why I’m on the last train out of DC and into Virginia. On the train at 6:15 this morning to clock in....
Stranger on a Train XXIII
I was planning to nap, but my brain really won’t power down. I blame NASA and this incredible photo of Christina Hendricks I saw Facebook. It still blows my mind that we are on Mars. Again. Thi...
Stranger on a Train XXII
It’s still the grey of twilight, but here I am, on the train, heading in… Trying something a little different this time — using the personal hotspot instead of the phone itself to blog...
Stranger on a Train XXI
Heading home, and I’ve got 21 for this entry; so Double Down if you can. Yesterday was a day I want to put behind me, but I admit it was a crossroad kind of day. Revelations. Lapses of reason. ...
Stranger on a Train XX
I don’t believe in coincidence. I do believe in God. And this morning, I got a talking to through the radio… And when you wake up in the morning With your head on fire And your eyes t...
Stranger on a Train XIX
Heading home…finally. Yeah, today was rough. I’m snapping back from the weekend at the Steampunk World’s Fair. It was beastly getting up there, but coming home was a snap. Because of that c...
Stranger on a Train XVIII
You ever have one of those weekends where you needed a weekend to recuperate? That’s May for me. So far. It’s not like I didn’t see this coming, what with Pip’s family visiting from New Z...
Stranger on a Train XVII
I should be focusing on the job. I should be a blank slate on the way to Alexandria. I should feel a sense of accomplishment from the weekend. I think I’m obsessing over this book trailer. It m...
Stranger on a Train XVI
Back into the groove… I got a blogpost in the making. You know, one not quite as off-the-cuff as this one, but it’s vitriol might even be too much for me. Then again, after reading this post ...
Stranger on a Train XV
It’s the start to a new week, although it doesn’t feel like I ever finished last week. Immediately after Day Two of the new job, I polished up an audio chapter of Truly, Deeply Disturbed and ...
Stranger on a Train: The Return
Day One. And I’ve been looking forward to this post since last week when I said “Yes.” It’s my Spring Training, as it were; and I’m re-acclimating myself to the sights, sounds, and smel...
Stranger on a Train: New York Comic Con
And awwwaaaay we go!!! Between the surprise priority video job at work, our child getting sick, the drama of getting out of Manassas, and WordPress for the iPhone borking on me and devouring my p...
Stranger on a Train XIV
And now for something completely different: I’m not alone on this ride, am not in Virginia. Heck, I’m not even on the East Coast. Sonic Boom and I are back on US soil after two weeks in New Z...
Stranger on a Train XIII
Wow…unlucky #13…I just finished up my blogpost from the Metro, went to take a picture, and WordPress for the iPhone erased what I had composed. Yeeouch. Well, okay then…take two… So last ...
Stranger Off a Train (Epilogue)
It’s really not the end of the line. It’s just another stop. See you Monday, in Chantilly.
Stranger on a Train XII
I’m done. Ten years of teaching, five of them with EEI, ended today. It has been an astounding journey — the past two years of my life, recent revelations, crossroads —with a bittersweet en...
Stranger on a Train XI
I’m giving this app a quick test. I’ve been worried about whether or not I will be able to blog on tomorrow, the final Stranger on a Train for…well…some time. I’m not going to say I wil...
Stranger on a Train X
Take Two. Was it something I said? I had a post ready to go, and this app suffered a massive FAIL. I’m stepping back though the post, trying to figure out if I said something I shouldn’t have...
Stranger on a Train IX
I’m combining two SoaTs here as I had an entry that never made it. Sorry about that. June 26 End of two days which felt like two years…might have been a mixed blessing that I got stuck in San...
Stranger on a Train VIII
My last class for a month. Home to pack for Balticon and New Zealand, record the final (or so I hope) KrakensQuest, and then…sleep. No word from 720 Strategies apart from two “We’ll be in t...
Stranger on a Train VII
The closer I get to New Zealand, the weirder my life becomes. In the past two days I’ve received two interviews next week. Am I excited? Not sure. I don’t want to afford myself that luxury on...
Stranger on a Train VI
I’m just going to say it: I’m a little scared. With All a Twitter done (or at least completed Author Review and moving towards the final layout) I am now trying to get some things off the To ...
Stranger on a Train V
What do you mean it’s Thursday?! I had planned to work on my keynote for Create South 2009 but I had forgotten my PowerBook was out of juice. So maybe I am going to catch a few winks on this co...
Stranger on a Train IV
I can’t stop staring at planes when they fly overhead. It’s been a long day, but with the Blogging class done I feel as if I can finally focus on what’s next. When I finish the chapter toni...
Stranger on a Train III
I know I’m not alone here, but I am hitting a brick wall figuratively…and now I’m considering it literally. Next to the picture of me is the job description of my latest rejection. Two book...
Stranger on a Train II
End of a day. End of a week. An end to two weeks of training… Final Cut Boot Camp Premiere Level I Public Speaking Introduction to Social Media I an still sick, but the point is I made it. I ma...
Stranger on a Train I
Trying something new here, maybe the reoccurring rambling from my abnormally long commute to and from work. I downloaded from the iTunes App Store a WordPress app and thought I’d give it a go�...
