April 21, 2021 Five years after I was the first guest co-host on Basement Boy Banter, both the show and I return, this time to promote my new collection of essays, Time is a Solid State. Like my book, our conversation covers a wide lens of topics, from the multiversally nerdy to the intimately personal.Continue reading “New Interview Alert! Basement Boy Banter Podcast”

I Do I Do Appreciate You
April 11th, 2021 So, my giveaway didn’t go as planned: I didn’t get a single new review on any major sites like Amazon. Instead of randomly choosing a winner, I just handpicked some people who have been consistently supportive of me and my work (and who I think would dig getting a thing in theContinue reading “I Do I Do Appreciate You”
Time is Free
March 29th, 2021 Would you like to win a free copy of my upcoming book, Time is a Solid State?! (Easy yes, right? I mean, free stuff.) For every review you post for any of my books on amazon.com until April 8th, 2021, you will automatically receive one entry. On that day, I will randomlyContinue reading “Time is Free”
Time is Coming
March 16th, 2021 Preordering for Time is a Solid State is now available! This project ended up being a much larger task than I was anticipating; what I thought would be maybe 300 pages ended up clocking in at 451 paperback pages, with almost 60,000 words (and an average novel will top out at 40k).Continue reading “Time is Coming”
Famous Last Blurbs
March 15th, 2021 This is going to be the last substantial post I make for a while, because this is the last post that’s going to make it in the book. It’s weird because some of you will read these words on a screen and some of you will read them on paper, and thisContinue reading “Famous Last Blurbs”

3 Simple Rules For Talking To God
February 16th, 2021 The lectures of William James have probably affected my life more than anything I have ever read. His pre-1900 thoughts on religion — the ideas of religion, the science of religion — have had an irreversible effect on how I see the world, secular or otherwise. In one of my favorite sections,Continue reading “3 Simple Rules For Talking To God”
Solid News
February 5th, 2021 It’s about time. I had mentioned earlier this year that since I started truly blogging and writing digital essays, I had scribbled and typed more than 60,000 words over the past few years. That’s a lot of words. That’s a novel amount of words. These posts are easily what I get theContinue reading “Solid News”
Brushfire In-Depth: January 14th, 2021
January 14th, 2021 The creation of my first all-ages graphic novel, Brushfire, is well underway and (as promised!) here’s an update of how it’s going. This is concept art for arguably the most important location in the entire series: Faribault’s Central Park. Brushfire — which, if this is the first you’ve heard of it, isContinue reading “Brushfire In-Depth: January 14th, 2021”
The Jazz of Physics
January 4th, 2021 I devoured this book in two days. You guys, if I haven’t told you, I’ve been having trouble with faith and hope and happiness and stuff, and The Jazz of Physics was exactly what I needed. Like, exactly. I have so much to talk to you about. I have so many wordsContinue reading “The Jazz of Physics”
