Michael Cassutt is a writer and producer of a number of television series, including THE TWILIGHT ZONE (1985), THE OUTER LIMITS (1990), and EERIE, INDIANA (1991) and most recently, Z NATION (2014). But he can also take credit for his work on MAX HEADROOM (1987), and during this 30th anniversary celebration, I am thrilled that he agreed to an interview on what is now regarded as “the first cyberpunk television series.”  The interview was conducted during the 25th anniversary, and reposted here. GK: Thanks for subjecting yourself to this interview- this is very exciting for me, as I was in college, majoring in Radio/Television/Film when MAX HEADROOM debuted, so you can imagine how it resonated with me. And that affection has only grown over the years. So, to begin, how did you become involved in the MAX HEADROOM TV series? MC: I got hired on MAX because of Phil DeGuere, who was my boss on TWILIGHT ZONE. A vastly experienced network showrunner, Phil had been teamed with Peter...

So I'm a little late in my quarterly review of the resolutions I made on New Year's 2013.  But I haven't given up, and again, I want to be accountable, so here we go.  For review's sake, Here is the original post of my  Goals and Resolutions , and my first update . 1.   Lose at least 15 pounds .

We are in year 4. I want to be stronger for the next time we move, and therefore better able to lift boxes without doing myself potential harm.

LiveJournal Tags: Christianity , Health , Creativity , Travel , Bible , Writing , Resolutions , New Year This is a list of the things I’d like to accomplish by the end of this Year of Our Lord, 2013: 1.  Lose at least 15 pounds.   In order to do that, I need to pay more attention to my diet and get off my rumpus and move (i.e., exercise); 2. Read through the Bible this year.   I will be using a reading plan and Rob Lacey’s edgy Word on the Street paraphrase. Yes, I know its cheating, sort of, but I gotta start somewhere, right? 3. Be more creative.   I like to write some, and I’m drawn toward fiction. I’d like to write some short stories for the Ranger Co. X setting that has been recently published by Asparagus Jumpsuit. I’ve also started what was known in the pulps as a ‘novellette’ featuring my favorite characters from three of my favorite Old Time Radio series, Rocky Jordan , Chandu, the Magician , and The Ghost Corps . I really want to finish this one this...
