2023 was a rollercoaster of health issues.

Well, the first week of October was very busy, which is why this September update is a bit delayed. September overall was relatively calm, however. More under the cut.

The end of June had some minor issues (more below), so this is a few days late. I know I owe a response or two to my last one, but it's been difficult to do much beyond work and the minimum upkeep on everything else.

June overall was pretty much same old, same old. Yes, I'm fully vaccinated (and so is my wife), but I don't trust people, and news of the Delta variant making its presence known in Los Angeles has me still masking up when I go out.

May 2021 update
May. 31st, 2021 03:19 pmRather than a quarterly update, figured I'd do a monthly. Make them a little less wordy, and maybe it will help me stick to a structure.

I figured I'd start a quarterly post that gives you an update as to what my wife Kate and I have been up to recently.
More under the cut.

Episode 49: Another Well Kept Secret Exposed
I first was introduced to the artwork of the artist known as Another Well Kept Secret thanks to Tumblr and Sherlock. Her artwork shows a stylized humanity with very animated features – and she has a romantic flair that shows that love is indeed at the heart of everything she does.
Her real name is Kelley and she’s from Tennessee. She’s been on my list to interview for a while, but got bumped up partially because she’s been upping her commissions to help offset the current economic downturn the virus has caused so many. We talk about her art, her being open about her asexuality, and her interest in Sherlock Holmes and Good Omens. Full disclosure: I am a Patreon of her, and have had artwork commissioned in the past. So yeah, I’m a bit of a fan.
Episode 47: Sav Rodgers Chases ‘Chasing Amy’
While living in Kansas City, I volunteered with the all-volunteer performing arts magazine KC Stage. We covered not only theatre, but any of the performing arts — which included the surprisingly strong independent film scene (partially thanks to the, and faculty member Kevin Wilmott).
Additionally, I also (unsurprisingly) participated in a lot of geeky and sci fi activities and helped out with the all-volunteer website SciFi4Me.
So, when I heard Kansas City native Sav Rodgers had made a documentary in connection to a TED Talk about the movie Chasing Amy, I was understandably confused as to whether I knew him thanks to KC Stage or SciFi4Me. The thing is: I don’t think we ever actually met in person prior to this interview.
I interview him about his TED Talk, being a queer filmmaker, and connecting to Kevin Smith. Head’s up: there is some minor cursing in this episode.
This is part of a new series of episodes that will be me playing around with audio. These episodes will be produced on no particular deadline - just when I have the time and energy. They also will be published on my feed at times that don't compete with the (somewhat) regular schedule of G33K Out. And, so you can skip them if you want, they will all start with the title "Contents May Vary".
First up: friend of the podcast Angelique Jurd writes male/male romance, and last year had released a fun short story for free. Knowing I wanted to delve into playing around with audio, I asked if she would be open to me attempting to do an audio version of the story. She agreed.
So, go listen to "The Cauliflower Club", by Angelique Jurd.

Recommended by the Bello Collective, this audio recommendation is an episode of the podcast Love + Radio, which I admit I hadn’t heard of before.
"The Boys Will Work It Out" is an episode about a LOTR fan who got into writing slash fic (and RPF) partially as a way to deal with past abuse. She starts role playing with a fellow fan and develops a WLW relationship and they used the slash in their relationship.

It’s a deeply personal interview that is at times uncomfortable to listen to as a result, and is a fascinating entry into why some write slash and RPF.
Head’s up: there is some highly explicit slash read during the podcast, so don’t listen where that may get you in trouble.

On June 7, I was lucky enough to attend the red carpet for the series finale of the Netflix show Sense8. Much of the cast was there, and there was a sense of sadness and hope as I interviewed them.

G33K Out Episode 30: Gallifrey One 2018
Apr. 29th, 2018 03:04 pmIf you know me at all, you know I've been a fan of Doctor Who for most of my life. I've written about it extensively, whether it's my "Love Letter to Doctor Who" for the 50th anniversary, or my editorial on how my feelings changed over the years titled "Looking at 'Doctor Who' Series 9: Breaking Up is Hard to Do". So, when I had the chance at a ticket for this year's Gallifrey One, I jumped at the chance.
