The 2013 Tree of Geek

Every year our Christmas tree is covered with clear, shining evidence that everyone in this house marches to a different drummer, assuming that they don’t have an entirely different band playing in their heads. These […]

I miss my dog

World’s first kitteh selfie

4 October 2013 Earl

Blurry and badly-framed? Check. Bathroom in the background? Check. Olivia has made history. (Unless, of course, one considers this to be the first kitteh selfie.)

Scenes from a cattery

5 August 2013 Earl

Well, okay, it’s not a real cattery. Seems like it sometimes, though… Obi says it’s just too hot to run outside this summer. Seriously. Not even once.

Summer is coming. That can only mean one thing: naked girls cavorting throught the house. Naked cat girls. Get your mind out of the gutter.

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. Follow me on Twitter @LogBookGuy, like theLogBook.com on Facebook, or contact me here.

  • Retrogram #6960: 2020 Gunn Salute

    1969!?: An oft-unsung luminary of taking sci-fi seriously left us just before the end of 2020 – so Retrogram is turning back the clock further than usual to delve into the origins of one of his very few screen credits.

  • 403: Showrunner! The Home Game

    Cut and Print: In yet another testament to the very strange way in which your host’s brain works, enjoy this introduction to Showrunner!: The Home Game – also known as outlining a nonexistent season of TV without actually writing out the episodes, or window shopping at the idea store. Also: what I’ve been reading, some…

Was Q*Bert too easy?  Apparently its creators thought so, and they prepared a little something for players who were too good at the original.

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.
