You’re who, again?

I'm just your typical compulsively-writing, sci-fi-and-science-obsessed, classic-video-game-playing, action-figure-collecting dad.


That's me in red with the smooth round head.

I run theLogBook.com and host its daily Escape Pod podcast and the monthly podcasts Select Game and Don't Give This Tape To Earl. I've written several books (WARP!1, VWORP!1, VWORP!2, Fatherhood, Fandom And Fading Out, and The Escape Pod Logs), and produced the Phosphor Dot Fossils video game documentaries.

Oh, but we do need another H.E.R.O. - part man, part helicopter, prone to being killed by touching bats, and still all awesome.

Phosphor Dot Fossils ( http://www.thelogbook.com/phosphor/ ) is one of the web's oldest archives of vintage console, computer, and arcade games; there was also a 2-DVD documentary of the same name, covering the early history of video games, produced in 2008 and 2009 (now available for download at http://www.thelogbook.com/store/ ).  And these days?  PDF aims to bring a more laid-back, less-caffeinated, less-profanity-spewing experience to the retro video game longplay video.
