This is such a week; I read through my modest (but excellent) pile this morning and spent most of […]
I am not a fan of urban fantasy, but I was curious to read Ben Aaronovitch‘s Midnight Riot because of a recurring blurb associated with it: that it was Harry Potter all grown-up and working as a policeman. It seemed like a silly idea, but I am pleased to report two things: that is not […]

Welcome to another installment of Booze Nerd, dear drinkers. This time, I’d like to talk about the quintessential cocktail — the Martini. Really, no other cocktail has captured the imagination quite like this deceptively simple drink. It’s lent its name to a bazillion pseudo-tinis, most of which have little in common with the original drink […]

Releasing a cover album is a tricky thing. Sure, you don’t have to write the songs, which saves time, but will your fan base like the album if the material is different than your regular works? That is a question that comes to my mind as I listened to Stryper’s latest release called, interestingly enough, […]

Musketeers and Dragons A review of The Alchemist in the Shadows, by Pierre Pevel. Review by Paul Weimer “This is a Black Seal. Each of them contains a drop of dragon’s blood, used by the Black Claw to seal its most precious documents…” He returned the case and Rochefort pocketed it immediately. “So the Black […]

I was thrilled when John and Patrick asked me to be the Fitness Nerd columnist for Functional Nerds. I knew exactly what I wanted to write about in my first post. Stereotypes follow all of us around. I don’t think I really have to explain this to fans of the Functional Nerd podcast. I want […]

Now that you’ve decided to try your hand making cocktails at home, the next question is: how do you begin? The first thing is to figure out what drink you want to make. I suggest starting with one or two favorites. Keep it simple. Martinis, whiskey old-fashioneds, whiskey sours, Manhattans, even margaritas. All of these […]

The opening bombastic notes of Spock’s Beard’s latest album, X, almost seem to say, “Hey, we’re back!” After several listens, I believe them. First, a brief history. Spock’s Beard released their first album, The Light, in 1995 to a lot of praise in the small progressive rock scene. They followed with five more albums, each […]
