Listen, I got a confession to make. Better come in close for this one. As some of you may know, I am a thirty-something middle-class white male. So I’m in like the 90th percentile when it comes to entitlement and privilege. I point this out because my demographic sort of shields me from a lot…

Hello, hello, hello, and welcome! Ok, settle down, you yahoos. Before we hop into today’s review of Michio Kaku’s new book, The Future of the Mind, I want to let you guys know that next month I’ll be opening up the One Lazy Robot Blog space to… you. Yes, you read that correctly. For those…

Here’s the dirty: I’m sprinting towards the finish line of this Novella I’ve been working on the past week tentatively named Nemesis. It’s something shy of 30,000 words and I can see the finish line in sight. So, no long, well thought-out blog posts (ha, as if any of my posts are well-thought out) today.…

About a month or two ago I asked you all for some topical ointment suggestions. Ointment? Really? That doesn’t seem right. *checks notes* Oh, I meant some topical blogging suggestions. (<– that was about as forced as a joke can possibly get. Please forgive me.) On the whole, the ideas thrown out were more diverse…

Oof, it’s been a couple weeks since I did a book review. Let’s see if I can remember how to these things are supposed to go. *fiddles with the magic box inside of which I keep all my reviewing super-powers* Uh… hrm… Who put a dead cricket inside my magic reviewing super-powers box? Oh, wait.…
