My latest on Grist is up. I'm definitely breaking a story here, though not a major one. Attack on industrial wind puffed with false peer review claims Basically the author created her own imprint to self-publish a book, sought out peer reviewers via the imprint she controlled, and then got media attention she would otherwise have been unable to obtain by claiming her work had been reviewed by a valid peer review process.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

FYI: If anyone out there is a long-time customer of Comcast cable tv, and there is a competing cable/dish/AT&T company in your market, you might want to contact Comcast to see if they'll offer you a discount. I just got $30 knocked off my cable tv bill for the next six months--it would have been twelve, but I would have had to lock myself in for that year.

The Lucha Libre Hero sourcebook by Hero Games, with some wrestling hold illustrations by yours truly, is now available for purchase. If you love cheesy Mexican wrestler/superhero movies or thrill to the menace of Blonde Martians in gold lamé gladiator armor, it might be worth a look-see.

2 new entries for You'll All Pay
These are not the usual stuff, folks. Frankly, they're pieces I wrote for a couple of college classes. But I think they have some good ideas in them, so I'm tossing them out in the aether of the Internets for any and all to peruse.
Lucky you, you get invited first.
It's two entries, as I said, so read one then scroll down and read the other. If you want.
