It's a Novel Idea: Phantom Orbit

Phantom Orbit - David Ignatius
W.W. Norton & Company
346 Pages

In my opinion, finding good techno-thrillers can be difficult to find. A lot of them are thin with characters and heavy on tech. Others are thin on tech and heavy on characters. Phantom Orbit by David Ignatius balances both quite well, delivering a book that gives us the best of both characters and tech. This book brings up a subject that is scarily close to being true. If you’re one who is a conspiracy theorist, it could already be true.

Shenanigans Episode 363: All Things Must Pass...

Well, it's finally here. It's the final episode of the Shenanigans podcast as we know it. Not going to lie -- it was a struggle to sit and edit this one because of it being the last one. Oh, I can almost guarantee there will be some reunion shows, and maybe a few Best Of episodes in our future, but for the most part, this is it. There's a long goodbye at the beginning, but then we get into a show with plenty of laughs. We talk about tacos, free will, beer cologne, and the right color for Santa to be wearing. Thank you all for seven years of fun. As always, this podcast should be listen only with caution in public and at work. We are adult humor.

Shenanigans Episode 362: The Penultimate Experience of a Lifetime

In this week's Shenanigans podcast, we go back a week or so after I lost the original show and had to start the editing process all over again. We talk a little about football and what's wrong with hockey and Kevyn Adams. Dave is our guest this week and he tells us about a great golf project he's working on. China now has OnlyFans and it has made a big splash in that country. We talk a bit about Gone With the Wind and the Civil War. They're making a Jonestown Theme Park. Just don't drink the purple refreshments. As always, this podcast should be listen only with caution in public and at work. We are adult humor.
