I was pleased to join Dan Schneider not too long ago for his Cosmoetica show to discuss Ray Harryhausen’s best film, and one of the best damned fantasy adventure movies of all time, Jason and the Argonauts. Enjoy! And for some previous thoughts on Harryhausen’s work, check out my thoughts on The 7th Voyage of Sinbad.
Back in late 2020, I came across a scam whereby a scammer trying to generate links to their site falsely claimed credit for a photo I used, and asked for the photo credit to be switched to one that pointed to their site. Turns out it was a scam that ran pretty deep on Wikimedia Commons. The story ended up getting picked up by a bunch of tech blogs. Well, it’s happened again.

Business cards are still a thing for some damn reason. I’ve had them over the years in my capacity as an editor, journalist, social media dude & advertising agency guy, and so on, but I do not have them as a freelancer.
