My parallel career in design and computers is the basis for my technology writing. I'm putting my love of movies and books to practical use in film and book reviews and am talking to the personalities in publishing and filmmaking as well as reporting on the art and business of both crafts. I'm also writing general features on everything from celebrities and business to ideas and culture.
I've written over 15 novels,
dozens of short stories, poetry, a journal now in its 22nd year and countless
other pieces of random creative thought. If you're curious about any of my
imaginative, creative or fiction writing, contact me.

So Just After Sunset is really a tale of two Kings. The first is from before the accident when he was content to talk about possessed machinery and monsters like he does in Gingerbread Girl, about a woman’s desperate bid to escape the clutches of a sexual predator and killer.
Shrek 2

What makes Shrek 2 so special is the skills in so many areas the producers have brought to it. Do you only go to the moves for the story? Shrek 2’s satirical, fractured fairy tale plot would be as exciting and funny in a live action film.

Claimed at the time we recived it to be the world’s slimmest WLED (light-emitting diode) monitor at only 1.85cm wide, this 22 inch monitor is indeed lightweight and gives you a huge area of bright, crystal clear colours.
Seagate FreeAgent Pro

July 24th, 2007
If you’re the sort of technology buyer who’s seduced by a sleek casing, sexy lighting or a svelte profile, all you need to know is that the Seagate FreeAgent Pro external hard disk holds 320Gb of data and looks like something you’d find on the dashboard of Darth Vader’s TIE fighter.

Whatever you think about Spike Lee, you can’t deny he’s always got something to say. His career up until now has seemed mainly to concern itself with the struggles and tribulations facing the urban African-American.

This low level of impact, together with reservation of forest areas by CALM, has meant that even though the logging industry is in good health, vast areas of forests can remain untouched, their ecosystems intact so they live long into the future.
