What does God look like?

My five year old son asked me what God looks like yesterday. I immediately started thinking about the way I asked myself that question while I was writing Schaefer's Integrity about ten years ago. But I replied, "Well, what do you think God looks like?" He said he didn't know, but could we look him up on the iPad. So we Googled God. And sure enough, on the internet you get a lot of pictures of a bearded old white fella parting the clouds. I explained that nobody had ever seen God and these were just people guessing. Then I suggested maybe my son would like to draw his own idea of what God looks like. So he did. What does it tell you that he drew a man dressed in black with a red face and... are they horns...?

Winner - Best Large Service Desk Award Of The Year 2014 - CoSocius (Forrest Screendump)

About a year ago on this blog I presented a spoof video I had written and directed for our company called "Service Desk in Black", which, as the name would suggest, was a riff on Men in Black. This year, the company's submission (again written and directed by yours truly, although not without some stellar input from many others) was a spin on Forrest Gump. Not only did the video win (unofficially) best video at the Service Desk Institute awards, but our company CoSocius won the overall award for Best Large Service Desk. Well done to all involved. And here is "Forrest Screendump"...

"The Axiom Few" moves on

I'm going to use the word "tapestry" here because I can see no other way of describing the route my new set of Axiom Few short stories seems to be taking. BRENDA's origin story is well underway and I'm really excited. The stories are becoming a tapestry and that may well influence the title of the story collection when it comes out. It won't all be about new characters though. At the end of The Autumn Structure our friend Geek was trapped on an alien vessel and I have to get him off there! All this will come in time. I'm having a lot of fun with it at the moment. In the meantime, why not head over to Amazon and get the book that started it all...
