Me and my Imaginary Audience
What do you want from me? What do I want from me?
Netflix’s new sci-fi venture is already steeped in controversy – but could it still turn out good?
3 Body Problem got on my radar partway through the Covid Pandemic in 2021, mostly because of its ties to the Game of Thrones producers, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.

Brain Velcro is now, “the unmedicated writers club?”
Brain Velcro was the podcast and blog I started in 2022 to talk about my more nerdy interests and keep up with making content with friends. I changed the inspired name of Brain Velcro to “the unmedicated writers club” (that’s right, all lowercase) out of a last-minute panic over the term “Velcro” being already trademarked.
