    Space Battleship Red Dwarf

    March 12, 2023 /

    Somehow recently I had the themes of both "Space Battleship Yamato" and "Red Dwarf" on the brain, and this mashup was the result.

    A fire in the sky, 20 years later

    February 1, 2023 /

    I knew it would be my last chance to see a space shuttle passing over Waco during re-entry; what I got wrong was why Columbia’s return would be the last time. An updated version of my Waco Trib column from 2013.

    Hope Is The Thing…

    June 1, 2022 /

    There have been several recent discussions concerning Emily Dickinson’s description of hope, and the accuracy thereof. Today in my mind they crystalized into this. The image by Xing Lida and Song Qijin accompanied a Science News item from April 2010 about fossil evidence suggesting that at least one feathered dinosaur molted during development the way modern birds do, as reported in a letter to the journal Nature. There will probably be a song about this in the near future.

    Toast for Talos Builders

    April 12, 2022 /

    I've been trying to come up with a song for this bit of Final Fantasy XIV plot for a while now, and finally twigged to how close the feeling I was aiming for was to Leslie Fish's ode to the shipbuilders and Mission Control crew of Apollo...

    A song about lazy mornings, especially in winter. It came to me on such a morning, naturally.

    This is me trying to get at the common feature in the ways we celebrate the season — the promise even amid the longest night that light, and Light, will return. Happy holidays, however you choose to celebrate!

    The Arms of Thal

    November 30, 2021 /

    So this is my first Final Fantasy XIV Online song (to go with all the World of Warcraft ones I've written). Notionally, it's written by my bard character as a tribute to fallen friends (in at least two cases, falling specifically in the act of protecting him).
