The NEW Emergence of The Ninja Writes

I've had so many blogs now between Blogger and Wordpress that I really don't know just how many they add up to. The one thing that is always the same for each and every one of them is that I get bored and end up starting over on another one. Enter: This NEW version of The Ninja Writes on my own named domain.
So what am I going to talk about here? Possibly anything and everything. This may be my new main location for communication with the outside world since social networking is going to hell. That's basically only good for broadcasting now.

 So with out further ado... let's this do this... again...

The Podcasting Phenomenon

Image
I like a good Podcast. My regulars will be linked below, but for now, for most part I like listening to authors and writers being interviewed or telling their stories. I also like some of these where a celebrity interviews other celebrities. Generally, I listen to podcasts to and from work on the dreaded commute. It beats having to hear the same 10 songs played endlessly on the radio. Podcasting is becoming a bit of a phenomenon in that everyone is doing it now. It seems being a YouTube star was saturated so the next move was over to pure audio. I mean, why be bothered with having to watch something when you can just listen to it and do other things, right? Just like with YouTube though, you have to find the shows that offer up something. Most of the really good podcasting shows have a singular point of view. Such as Author Stories by Hank Garner which is just about interviewing authors and writers. Then you have The No Pants Cocktail Hour with Jeff Somer s, who is an author,

I miss Tower Records

I'm not going to lie, in the decade before Tower Records closed down, I had probably gone into the Atlanta store only a handful of times. MP3 and digital was the way to get music and that was just more exciting and accessible. However, thinking back on the old Gen X days and the great 90's, it was the experience of going to Tower Records that I really miss. There was an excitement to it that no music streaming service will ever be able to to replicate. This was especially true on new release Tuesdays. That meant heading down to Tower Monday night, usually around 9 or 10 pm and then hanging out until 12 am to get the new release first. Back then, it felt like winning a competition by being the first person to get a new release and check it out on the drive back home. That meant, the next day you would be able to talk about it with your friends, who more than likely, went with you to pick it up too. Also funny when looking back on it, I used to see the people who worke

The Ninja Writes week in review (7/22/19)

Image
The Ninja Writes week in review for the week of 7/22/19 has a little bit something for everyone. From a the journey to get in touch with a pop culture icon like Tim Thomerson to a Social Network that seems to have sputtered out (MeWe). Also this week, I had some thoughts on a move back to ChromeOS from Win10, this new Puritan Luddite movement, and a cool new show on Netflix, starring Katee Sackhoff call Another Life. Sometimes you don't get to meet your heroes. We've had a fair amount of luck in interviewing authors and musicians on our ScannerDrome podcast so I thought maybe I could find a way to reach out to Tim Thomerson (Jack Deth in Trancers) and get him to come on the show. Alas… the production company won't relay the message and he doesn't really have a social media or internet footprint, possibly due to his age (73). So I've hit a brick wall in getting an invitation to him. Oh well… it is what it is… and if you haven't watched the Trancers series, t
