Character Interview: Toesy

November 2, 2015 By Michael G. Munz Leave a Comment

Snazzy Interview Logo

Best logo I could do on short notice. I’m not made of logos, people!

Hello everyone, and welcome to a new kind of post here on Geek Notes!

Using high-tech quantum-tunneling equipment that has both the ability to burrow into an alternate universe AND make high-quality gelato, I am now able to open up a wormhole just stable enough to allow what you and I consider to be “fictional” characters into the Geek Notes studios so that I can a) interview them about their particular perspectives in a story, b) harvest their alternate-world energies to fuel my ever-growing army of robotic ninja giraffes, or c) both.

Please note: This highly sensitive, secret, and ludicrously expensive technology will never be used to interview my own characters. Heavens no. (There’s a 10% chance each time that the subject’s atoms will be annihilated at the sub-atomic level, and then not only have I got a mess of quarks and bosons all over the place–which do NOT come out of the carpet easily–but the character can no longer be used in any future works of fiction, and I’m not about to risk that with one of MY characters.)

So today I’m pleased to offer you the first ever Geek Notes Character Interview! Let’s all welcome him here to the blog and admire his pretty fur. His name is Toesy. He’s from the Thanatos Rising series by author Tiffany Pitts, and he’s not exactly human… [Read more…]

Guest Geeks: John Adams and the Power of Star Wars (Part One)

October 28, 2015 By Michael G. Munz 1 Comment

Guest GeeksThe Guest Geeks feature here on Geek Notes has been on a bit of a hiatus lately, it’s true. But it’s now back with a vengeance because I’ve got John Adams of Seattle’s Super Awesome Geek Show here with a three-part guest post! The topic? Well, if you’ve ever paid attention to this guy’s tweets or blogging, you can probably make a pretty good guess, and with a certain blockbuster movie trailer tantalizing us all into wishing it were December right freaking now, there really can’t be a better time for this topic.
Take it, John!

Geeking out with the Super Awesome Geek Show!

October 25, 2015 By Michael G. Munz Leave a Comment

This past week I had the pleasure of joining the folks over at the Seattle-based podcast known as the Super Awesome Geek Show! After putting up with my bragging about the recent honors for Zeus Is Dead, and a bit of talk about The New Aeneid Cycle, I got to hang out and and talk about some of the new geek TV out there, and–of course–Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Things That Go “Ffft!” in the Night

October 17, 2015 By Michael G. Munz 1 Comment

(Dramatization. May not have happened.)

You have no idea just how close I came to becoming a pod-person. Or murdered in my sleep. Or both. If I may digress from the usual sort of post I do around here, I’d like share with you a creepy little story of what happened to me the other night –or the other early morning, to be specifically vague… [Read more…]

Shadows on the Sound Podcast: Evil AIs and Me

September 23, 2015 By Michael G. Munz Leave a Comment

Shadows on the Sound Podcast, Episode 20: Evil A.I.! (click to listen)

Artificial Intelligence is slowly becoming a reality. Perhaps the Singularity is even next week. Sci-fi is filled with artificial intelligences that were born evil, turned evil, or had evil thrust upon them. A Memory in the Black, the second book in my sci-fi/cyberpunk series, introduces the A.I. known as Suuthrien. Whether or not Suuthrien is truly evil is just something you’ll have to wait and see about in A Dragon at the Gate, but the wonderful geeks Camela and Z.D. over at the Shadows of the Sound podcast invited me, along with another entity known only as Archangel, to discuss the concept of evil A.I., and things like what sort of loopholes can you find when determining what causes “harm” to us human-type meatbags.

So head on over to Shadows on the Sound and have a listen, before the metal ones come for you…

Guest Geeks: Cain S. Latrani and the Zombie Hordes

September 15, 2015 By Michael G. Munz 5 Comments

Guest GeeksI kind of missed an opportunity here in that it’s only been a couple of weeks since the last Guest Geek post. Given today’s topic, if I’d waited a few months, I could have said that this feature is rising from the dead, which would fit in perfectly with guest Cain S. Latrani’s topic.
But that would’ve meant making you all wait far too long to read this awesome post. So why make you wait any longer? Read on, but hold onto your brains…
