Snippet and Query · 10:30pm May 24th, 2016

Almost certainly not appearing in chapter V:

TWILIGHT SPARKLE (writes): "When we got to the library and Moongleam (as she has insisted we call her) saw the collection, she bounced around the room in a circle for a full minute, calling out 'Yes, yes, yes, yes!'. She seems very excitable to me. Is this normal for her species? Is it likely to happen oft-"

(a short moment of embarrassed recollection later)

Why Does the Sun Really Shine? · 2:15am Jul 6th, 2016

They Might Be Giants made a song many years ago called Why Does the Sun Shine? which starts out with "The Sun is a mass of incandescent gas". It is a catchy song.

But, you know, that isn't really accurate. The sun isn't made of gas, it's made of plasma.

So they made a new, scientifically accurate version, Why Does the Sun Really Shine?

Chapter 8 of Fallout Equestia: Black Cat is done + news! · 9:15am Aug 17th, 2016

Hey again. Finished up Chapter 8 of Fallout Equestia: Black Cat. I thought it would be nice to have a One Piece after arc party chapter. It is nice to have a chapter where the characters just have some fun before the big action starts again.

Actually, I'm Dead - Autopsy: Schrodinger's Butterfly of DOOM! · 2:29am Sep 17th, 2015

No, not that Doom.

Okay, first of all, this editorial was meant to come before Chapter 7, right after the second interlude. But the absurdly bad timed combination of my nephews coming to visit, a bone-crushing cold and your typical Chilean earthquake delayed its publication, so here it is.

Some of you who follow me may know that I am a published author, though no where near as successful as I want to be. Yes, I have a day job.

Fluttershy and other animals · 9:15pm Sep 20th, 2014

All of the mane characters make great role models for little girls (and boys). This was a key part of Lauren Faust's vision: to provide a cast of strong female characters, all very different, but each equally amazing in their own way...

Thoughts on The Terminator (1984) · 5:52am Dec 19th, 2023

I've watched this one previously, but still, it'd been a number of years since that first viewing.

(Rewatched August 14th, 2023.)

Still every bit as good as I remember it being from the first time.

It's hard to really say anything "new" with regard to the original Terminator. What can I say that other critics or other writers haven't?

My Review of the Vsauce TV Series: Mindfield · 11:35pm Sep 29th, 2022

This is a show that is pretty good. Interesting experiments, good host and good stories and science and stuff. My favorite episode is the one where they do the trolly problem IRL and see how people react.

Did you know that Vsauce has also met Jamie from Mythbusters before? It’s true.

Everything Little Thing She Does is of Her Own Free Will (or is it?) · 9:41pm Sep 25th, 2016

I spent this week on a residential course on Popular Science Writing, which has left me bubbling with enthusiasm for putting together my own book proposal. I cycled into town this morning to visit the science section of my local bookstore and get some reference material. While there, I also decided to stop off at my college just to see if I had any mail—only to find the entire street had been closed off and was swarming with security trying to hold back a dense crowd, holding their phones high

Examining Flaws in Human in Equestria Stories: The Lack of Aliens · 4:01am Feb 25th, 2016

I’ve ranted in the past about how FiM breeds wish fulfillment, and how crossovers fundamentally violate the Law of Conservation of Detail. I mentioned in the latter that Human in Equestria has similar problems. Oddly, despite having similar problems, HiE also has other problems that are all its own (despite crossovers often involving humans anyway).

Physics of Las Pegasus · 6:55pm Sep 18th, 2016

There are three types of story you can get from a physicist about Las Vegas. The first, although not strictly speaking of the city itself, is that of the Nevada Test Site—the arena where, in the 1950s, the nuclear era came of age, and theories of thermonuclear fission and fusion were put to the experimental test. [Question to ponder: what type of cloud is Las Pegasus built on?]
