Ep. 188: The Shape of Time (an essay)

This essay is about an alternate conception about visualizing the shape of time. Rather than the standard circles, squares, and grids created by the limitations of paper and other physical displays, I suggest a new model which fits time better and is very reasonable to be displayed by today’s ubiquitous digital displays.

Ep. 187: One poem from Worth 1k — Volume 1

This poem is actually about some big rocks, though that might not be clear while listening to it. Go out and drive down the coast, though, and I think you’ll see what I mean.

This story is about a supervillain who -after his first several attempts to wreak havoc on and around the flying city in which he lives are thwarted, and his superhero nemesis is coincidentally erased from existence- goes even more insane than he was before. Stumbling around his high-tech laboratory, mumbling to himself, Brady experiences an epiphany that leads him to design a fifth iteration of his doomsday device. Find out what he designs, and where that line of thought ends up taking him, in this strange story about a stranger, mad man.

Ep. 185: Three poems from Worth 1k — Volume 1

These three poems (and most of the rest of the book) were written while I was driving down the Pacific Coast Highway. Small towns along the coast were interesting. So were the dilapidated public parks all through OR and CA.

Ep. 183: Two poems from Worth 1k — Volume 1

These two poems are about driving in Oregon. Sometimes the view outside my windows was beautiful, but often the driving there was stressful, frustrating, and dangerous.

Ep. 182: They Stole God (a short story) part 4/4

This story, They Stole God, is one of my favorites from this collection, delving into theology, cosmology, ethics & morality, while telling a tale that ends up containing dramatic & violent bank robberies and the violation of the sanctity of religious dogma – by force. Follow a group of monk-like religious adepts and their friends as they find that the deeper into the secrets of their religion they delve, the more impossible their escape from its clutches becomes. Some readers may want to look up the nature of such far-flung physics concepts as dark matter, dark energy, and the nature of singularities to understand the full scope of theology herein, and others will just want to know what strange plan they come up with next.
