Interests

Between work and family, I manage a little time for interests. Even though I have a few websites to tend and I program for a living, I actually prefer to be away from the computer. I cook, I watch a tonne of movies, I love to sculpt and write.

Mike DeWolfe : Interests

I have a lot of interests. Some of them have crossed line from avocation into
occupations. Some have stayed as hobbies. Most of these interests spawn from two
motivations: my desire to create and my interest in the new.

Mike DeWolfe : Interests : Science Fiction

Sci-Fi? Science fiction fans turn their nose up at the expression "sci-fi". It denotes schlock and a shallow understanding of the genre. In truth, that regard for the term "sci-fi" just underscores a mindset, a disdain for the term comes from too little ear-medication or that the sad truth that most Science fiction fans must be getting slowly poisoned from the mold spores growing in their parent's basements.

I love sci-fi: the schlock, the camp, the high art form, the concept of imagining the future. I love the whole deal of it. The fans? Well, some of them I like, but some of them only deserve to stay on this planet to keep our convenience stores open and accidentally spawn new generations of pimply Mike-Stackpole-loving gits.

Interests : Writing : Published Material

The Product of Years and Years of Scribbling
I'm a lucky writer. I've been published. I want to give anyone
who has tried to succeed at getting their work published some advice:
  • Write, Write, Write - You've heard it before, but it's very true. Write about what you know about, what you think about. Write a little as an exercise. Write alot as part of a jihad. Write. Some people say that if you don't write every day, you're not a writer. Hog-wash. Write as often as you can: Sunday mornings; evenings; binge-write on vacations; scribble while on the bus; or write when it moves you (even if that's twice a year).

Sculpture

Here's the irony: I am either busy on the computer working; or away from the computer, sculpting.
When I am busy on the computer, sculpting, I will have something here to show you. Until then, check what I post on two third party locations:
