Guys! Found this cute lil pup outside our house! Gonna keep it!
So proud of my husband, Jon! He won parlour magician of the year last night at what’s basically the Oscars of magic. Woohoo!
I’ve been into space mirrors—satellites with reflective surfaces that turn night into day—for a while. The idea's around for over a century, and we can’t quit the technology. I get into projects people have tried to get off the ground. There are some characters! www.tubetalk.media/p/space-mirr...
Had great interview w/ @tkrex.bsky.social about their short story collection, THE WILDCRAFT DRONES. Do you find tentacle drones who care for wildlife, agro-forestry, and/or planetary scale intelligence intriguing? If so, buy it & read our kickass interview! www.tubetalk.media/p/the-wildcr...

That year I wanted Molly… the American Doll not the recreational drug. And also a BJ tape, which stood for Billy Joel (don’t judge). My list would be different this year…
I’ve known since about 1989 that I am a delight. My proof? This dot-matrix presentation I made when was 8 or 9 in a bid for Christmas presents…

Grunters, theremins, and galvanometers, oh my! Those are just some of weird #history topics I’ve had the pleasure of researching in my first few months of Tube Talk. I get joy from digging into these stories, and I’m not the only one: the weirdness/unexpectedness is what subscribers love as well!

Tube Talk is three months old, and I’m launching my first membership drive! I hope to gain 25 new Tube Talkers this week and made this fun little graphic to track my progress.
The opening of the Geffen Galleries is a historic moment. It will leave its mark on the city beyond my lifetime, and that’s cool — and weird — to think about. I talk about it more (and share more images) here! Check it out! www.tubetalk.media/p/los-angele...
Look at this radio. It is glorious. It comes from the new David Geffen Galleries at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). I toured the space before they're open to the public, and wrote (and made a video) about it for Tube Talk. #museum #losangeles #lacma #art #tubetalkmedia
Peak Los Angeles synergy at LACMA today #lacma #erewhon #davidgeffengalleries
In my latest post, I explore the weirdness of early TV and the awesomeness that was Dell O'Dell. Give it a read! Share with someone who'd like it, and subscribe! (3/3) buff.ly/xZXpKdE Special thanks to Michael Claxton for letting me share some images from his collection.
Television in the early 1950s was experimental, avant-garde, and ripe for magic... (1/3) #magic #tv #tubetalkmedia
