Believe it or not, there is exclusive merch for the TV shows and films we creatives work on that we’ll never recieve. It’s for marketing only — and I’m supremely jealous of the cool swag some folks get! (Not complaining! Just an observation during this hallowed Comic Con week.)

What a delight to see… My six word mystery story, “Rookie,” has been published in the March/April 2026 issue of ALFRED HITCHCOCK MYSTERY MAGAZINE!

Thought @ryannorth.ca might appreciate this debate currently happening in my group chat.

Staggering to learn that if you count all Lovecraft’s favorite words, “eldritch” is used half as much as “cyclopean”… … and neither clear the top 100.

In college, I studied under Peter Bondanella — one of the world’s foremost scholars on Machiavelli and Fellini. Since he knew him personally, I once asked him what Fellini was like. “Just a man,” Peter said with a shrug. Now that I work in Hollywood, I get what he meant.

It’s always worth remembering that kindness is free, but pays great dividends.

Whether you agree with his (self-admittedly) cantankerous opinions, Harlan Ellison was truly a force to be reckoned with. I think about this interview often — especially when young writers ask me how to make a living as one.

Just saw THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS finale in a packed theatre, surrounded by animation fans. It ended exactly as it should have… Poignant. Bittersweet. Beautiful. Well done to @glitchprod.com and team. Can’t wait for the next!

CALIFORNIA VOTERS: Today’s the LAST DAY to vote in the midterm elections! You can still fill out your ballot or visit a polling place if you haven’t yet. If you don’t know who to choose, there are many great voter guides that help lay out their positions and endorsements!

The funny thing about animation is that sometimes you see extremely cool things you can’t talk about for a long time. This week has been full of those days!

When I first opened the NextDoor app, I remember reading a completely serious post that said: “I knew this neighborhood was going downhill when all the songbirds left and all I saw was crows” I think about that a lot.

When I was fresh out of college, I had no connections and nothing but a dream. I co-wrote an indie animated spec. Somehow, we got it to Tom. He voiced our main character for free. “Putting good into the world has a habit of coming back around,” he said. RIP Tom Kane. Thank you, truly.

Growing up a few minutes south of Indianapolis, I attended the Indy 500 probably 6 or 7 times. After a few laps, we’d leave the stands and walk through the tunnel to the buildings in the middle. Check out the museum there. Buy lunch at one of many cafes. It was a small city.

I know the word “agonist” is just a medical term for a kind of neurotransmitter… But to me, it will forever sound like some kind of demon necromancer D&D monster that specializes in magical torment.

Since a few folks are curious, TV animation often takes a surprisingly long time. From development to greenlight to production usually lasts years, as scripts to character designs to environments and style are meticulously created from scratch! (1/2)

An interesting aspect of human nature and probability, now that prediction markets are so prevalent in news coverage. If the odds of something are 20% and it happens anyway, it doesn’t make it “wrong.” It means it was a 1/5 chance and we got the 1. Otherwise it would be 0%.

This was a fun conversation we had about Star Trek. Check it out if you are so inclined! youtu.be/oHAPyq8OgN4?...
