February 24, 2015 By Michael G. Munz Leave a Comment

Booktrope_logo_color-300x233If you’ve been watching this site for a little while, you already know that A Shadow in the Flames, my cyberpunk novel (and the first novel I ever wrote) was re-published under Seattle publisher Booktrope’s label last December.

Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters – Ch 15

February 22, 2015 By Michael G. Munz 2 Comments

In which Michael is repeatedly made a fool of.

In which Michael is repeatedly made a fool of.
But in a good way.

In this corner: Polyphemus the Giant Cyclops! In THIS corner: Nobody! That’s can only mean that it’s time for the fifteenth part of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters…

Nobody Gets the Fleece

Okay, this is just an excellent chapter. The action is fast and flowing, we get Tyson back (along with the humor that comes from his being around), and I was surprised on multiple occasions. Of course, Annabeth probably didn’t like the chapter so much. The poor girl has gotten pummeled more than John Crichton lately. [Read more…]

Review: Trapped in a Room with a Zombie (Seattle)

February 22, 2015 By Michael G. Munz 8 Comments

I have faced the zombie at the base of Seattle’s Queen Anne Hill and emerged victorious!

Okay, so I can’t take all the credit. I was part of a team, and together we kicked the crap out of the zombie known as Doctor Oxy and escaped her room of puzzley terror! Well, all of us except for Clint. Clint got bit. But his sacrifice was not in vain!

You probably want to know just what the holy heck I’m talking about, huh? [Read more…]

Warning: Spoilers abound, as usual.

Season 2, Episode 19:
“Liars, Guns & Money Part 1: A Not So Simple Plan”
****1/2  out of *****

“Bonnie and Clyde! Oh, no, forget about that one. It’s a bad ending.”

And now begins the first of Farscape’s second three-part episode, which begins with a quaint little heist and turns into—well, I’m getting ahead of myself. [Read more…]

Guest Geeks: Jonathan Gould

February 18, 2015 By Michael G. Munz 3 Comments

I’m pleased to announce a new feature here on Geek Notes that you’ll be seeing from time to time. It’s Michael Delegates Work! Er, wait. No, that’s probably not a good title. It’s called Guest Geeks! (Guest Geeks? Is that a good title? I’m bad at titles. Let’s just stick with that for now.) Every once in a while I’ll be posting an article from a fellow geek that they’ve written exclusively for Geek Notes in exchange for the safe return of their loved ones purely for your enjoyment!
Without further yammering, it’s time for me to kick my feet up and turn things over to the very first Guest Geek post. Please welcome author and geek Jonathan Gould…
