If you're one of the dozens of people who enjoyed my 1940s noir detective novel "Thunder Road," the answer is: yes, the adventures of Jeff Sharp and Roni Arquette will continue. I'm about halfway through the sequel, "Dawn in Sin City."

Huge congratulations to Firefly Aerospace for their successful lunar landing this morning. Private entities on the moon are the next footsteps for mankind. They put the Blue Ghost lander in Mare Crisium where much of the action in The Oxygen Farmer takes place.

I feel for the content creators of TikTok who have built businesses on the platform. I was a Flash developer and animator. One day Steve Jobs said Apple was pulling Flash from iPhones and my work dried up almost overnight. The thing is - Jobs was right, and so is the US govt.

Always reminds me of Ben Sargent's Austin American-Statesman editorial cartoons that ran on the first day of the session depicting the circus parade coming to town.
