Complications arise in the form of another team of ruthless mercenaries who have also been…
August 11, 2015: A morning miracle!
This morning started like any other day. I woke up, brushed my teeth, headed downstairs and fed the dogs. After checking my emails, I decided to make myself my usual post-workout hardboiled eggs. I walked over to the stove, picked up the pot and noticed something - a distinctive figure on the element created by the…

August 9, 2015: My 1-Day Juice Cleanse Diary!
Akemi is in Osaka, visiting family, until Wednesday which has given me the opportunity to do things I wouldn't normally do when she's around. Clubbing? Boozing? Gambling? More like watching four movies in a single day, reading five books simultaneously, and doing a 1-day juice cleanse. Life on the edge, right? And, yes, you read…

August 7, 2015: The Dark Matter Season 2 game plan! Dark Matter Episode 109!
The Dark Matter season 2 check-list: 1) Expand the "world" of Dark Matter, from the rule and reach of the Galactic Authority to the structure and rivalries of the interplanetary corporations; the place of humanity in colonized space to the place of Androids in a system driven by humanity. 2) What lies beyond the realm of colonized space! 3)…

July 30, 2015: Dark Matter – Setups and Payoffs!
As most of you know, I created and started developing Dark Matter back when I was working on Stargate: Atlantis. The hope was to roll into Dark Matter whenever Stargate ended...which turned out to be a little later than I'd originally expected. Throw in a year to script and launch the Dark Horse Comics series, the inevitable/interminable wait for the financing to come…
July 29, 2015: Joe and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day!
Well, let's call it 22 hours and counting. 1. Unlike previous years, 2015 offers a very narrow window in which I can take my annual culinary journey to Japan. And so, after much back and forth, Akemi and I finalized the dates and I spent the better part of three hours booking flights online. Akemi…
