On Fire! Welcome, fine readers, to the first ever Ten Burning Questions post!

A Nerd Turns Forty
On Top Of The Hill And About To Go Over I recently turned forty years old. It’s something that I highly suggest all people do at least once in their lives. For some it’s just another trip around the sun. For others, it’s an opportunity to reflect on the life that they have lived andContinue reading “A Nerd Turns Forty”
Inviting “Anarchy” To The Con Scene
Houston, Texas (Full Disclosure: I was unable to attend the recent Space City Comic Con event. This blogger takes no sides on the issues that occurred there, but is attempting to address what may or may not happen to this event and others like it in the future as a result of what occurred.) MemorialContinue reading “Inviting “Anarchy” To The Con Scene”
What’s So Civil About War Anyway?
In A Land Chock Full Of Avengers Captain America: Civil War has been talked about and speculated over for a long time. It finally arrived on the big screen on May 6th, and it has managed to meet the expectations of most fans and exceed those expectations for others. I fall in the “met expectations”Continue reading “What’s So Civil About War Anyway?”
The State of Trek
Now (And In The Future) Star Trek has come a long way since its beginnings on the small screen back in the 1960’s. The adventures of Kirk, Spock, Bones, and the rest of the crew of the Enterprise lasted for only three seasons, but ignited a fire within an entire generation of men and womenContinue reading “The State of Trek”

Revisiting Voyager
The Delta Quadrant I’ve been watching a lot, and I mean a lot, of Star Trek: Voyager in the last couple of months and I have to say that I’ve become extremely fond of the series. My first exposure to the show was in syndication a few years ago, but I never was able toContinue reading “Revisiting Voyager”
CyPhaCon 2016!
Lake Charles, LA CyPhaCon celebrated its sixth year in 2016 this past weekend and, as usual, it was an excellent event. Although I spent most of my time at the USS Lafitte table, I managed to attend two panels, hosted one panel, and also got to meet the wonderful Nana Visitor of Star Trek: DeepContinue reading “CyPhaCon 2016!”
The Local Con
Lake Charles, LA I still haven’t recovered from the awesomeness that was (and still is) Southern Geek Fest, but that doesn’t mean that I’m not excited and/or ready for ANOTHER convention this weekend, April 8-10, on my own turf in Lake Charles, LA. CyPhaCon returns for its sixth year at the Lake Charles Civic CenterContinue reading “The Local Con”
Southern Geek Fest!!!
Hattiesburg, MS Over the weekend I took a road trip to Hattiesburg, MS for the first ever Southern Geek Fest. It was an excellent event put on by Rafe White, Tim Nicholas, and a wonderful group of local and not-so local volunteers. There was an excellent mix of vendors, authors, comic artists, celebrities, and cosplayers.Continue reading “Southern Geek Fest!!!”
