I find I have more time to relax and unwind when I'm actually working on a show.  At least, when I'm working and I have addressed any production-related outstanding issues, I feel comfortable making use of the downtime to read or watch something.  When I'm not in production, it's technically all downtime but, really, time…

Check it out - the international times for our upcoming Stargate twitter event. Take note of the hour in your area.  This is for all those fans who weren't able to participate in the last tweetstorm.  That's Saturday, January 25th (ish)! So, spent much of the day rewriting the outline for the second episode of…

Okay, back to it. Had a conversation with my agent today regarding the horror script.  A few notes to address before proceeding.  It's high concept, chock full of solid scares (and humor of course), has a couple of good twists, and would be relatively inexpensive to produce. He thinks it's a slam dunk - but…

We have begun our quest to find Suji a new friend.  Or, if not a friend, then another pug she can snuggle up with when Akemi and I go out shopping.  Or, if not a another pug she can snuggle up with when Akemi and I go out shopping, then another pug to boss around.…

I've had a fairly successful career to date.  Over 350 hours of produced television.  Over a hundred written.  Over a hundred as a showrunner.  By now, those who have tuned in to my work are aware of my style, the type of work I produce: character-driven stories with an underlying sense of humor that speak…

As promised, we've planned a Stargate twitter event for European fans who were unable to make December's tweetstorm (on account of it kicking off at approximately 2:00 a.m. their time). We're eyeing a 1:00 p.m. EST kick-off which means European Stargate fans will be tweeting approximately six hours later, about 7:00 p.m. their time. This…

It's been four days since Lulu's sudden passing and it still hasn't really sunk in.  For any of us.  Today, Akemi was in the kitchen cooking and, from the corner of her eye, caught what she thought was Lulu sitting, as she often did, impatiently waiting for a treat.  The situation with Lulu is, of…

So I was going through my blog archives in search of something else and I came across the following video from back in the day.  Actors Jamil Walker-Smith, Brian J.
