EUANGELION: The Return of The Lost Man

  I take my hat off to Dia, my friend and fellow blogger at the blog next door, Once Upon a Transdimensional Day , for her most recent post on The Imaginarium . She has taken hundreds of photographs of clouds in New Mexico and written an accompanying poem about the messages they convey. For me, the star of the show was The Last Cloud of August , which appeared over an Albuquerque parking lot two months ago.

A New Mythology for the Turn of the Millennium: The Podcast

The blog will now begin exploring the power of AI to discuss the stories I have been writing for over a decade and plan now to bring closer to publication.

This first podcast was generated by AI and is the start of a new journey, building on the work I did at Histories of Things to Come and on Patreon, Discord and Telegram. It will also profile the millennial characters and storylines in my fiction.

Link to Podcast #1. Can an AI which is commenting on human arts become a critic - or a metafictional character inside those arts? We will see.
