Sorry for the lack of blog updates over the past few days… the good news is that I’ve been writing! It’s been a fairly prolific week; at this pace, I may hit 40,000 words by the weekend. Close to halfway through the book. With any luck, I’ll be sending the first half of the book […]
As my Kickstarter project passes the halfway point, I’ve been thinking more about my request for funding from friends, family, and even strangers. Let’s face it, I’m a one-percenter – which is part of what I think makes this project interesting (and fun for me). But it also raises the question – why do you […]

Well, the Kickstarter project is launched and the goal was to get back to writing. Until my 140-year old house lost water yesterday. Apparently state-of-the-art for the early 1900’s is no longer so great when it comes to underground pipes. Two days later and still no idea where it’s frozen – just “somewhere outside under […]
It’s official: The Dark Matters Kickstarter project has launched! Check out the full video on the Kickstarter site. The project (I hope…) will fund continued research on the topics of worldwide economics and income inequality, as well as the latest on dark matter, string theory/quantum mechanics, and related fields. If you are so inclined, I’d […]
