Proton-Exchange Membranes and The Destiny of Times
I didn’t expect to blog about proton-exchange membranes (PEMs) but they came up during my interview with Jan Jordynn on her Destiny of Times podcast. Jan’s got a wide-ranging curiosity and we ended up talking about much more than books and writing. Give it a listen here. I’ve been working on a hydrogen-powered aircraft program…Read More
William Shatner and I will be at ComicPalooza this weekend
I’ve been a fan of the original Captain Kirk for a long time. A few years back, I got to have dinner with him at a Bombardier Safety Standdown. I gave a presentation that day, and he had the dinner speech. Dinner was fun. Ardith got to sit next to him and charm him. I…Read More

Copperfield’s Books in Houston
I first went to Copperfield’s in 1998 and loved it. Tons of books. Well organized. Cozy. Coffee bar. It smells of books. Most of my sales are ebooks. I get it. Probably half of my reading time is with ebooks. The convenience is unsurpassed – at least until books can be projected on my Args….Read More
Boots, Shoes & Fashion
When publicist Ben Cameron told me that he had an interview set up with Linda Hobden (@LindaHobden) of Boots, Shoes & Fashion fame, I was skeptical. While I routinely wear boots or shoes, no one has even associated me with fashion. Perhaps she thought I was someone else? No, Ben assured me, Linda is quite…Read More

Unstoppable Mindset Podcast with Michael Hingson
I’ve mentioned Mike Hingson on this blog before and am still serializing my interview of him. He’s a very generous and insightful guy. Generous for asking me to be on his podcast and then agreeing to be interviewed by me later. His podcast episode with me is now live at the usual outlets. It was…Read More
Imposter Syndrome
They say it represents “all Canadians” who have worked in the Space Program. But it’s really Chris Hadfield. I struggle a bit with Imposter Syndrome – the feeling that I don’t really deserve the success I’ve had, and that I’m not as smart as some other people believe. It started when I was 29 and…Read More
