My latest piece for David!
Category: Articles
Wonder Gal | David Magazine
This month, for David Magazine, I take a look at the new Wonder Woman film starring Gal Godot, as well as a brief history of the character and her creator. Of course, while you’re there, you might want to check out this related article about women in the Israeli army (of which Gadot herself was a member a few years back)
At the same time, there’s some interesting commentary happening at The Mary Sue about the lack of advertising and promotion for this film.
The Honey Do List | David Magazine
Yup. This month I tackle the “The War Against Domestic Grime,” which “is Chronicled on Our Refrigerator Door.”

PS: Rasa disagrees with this list, insisting everything should be done if not daily, then at least three times a week.
Blowing Up Convention | David Magazine
This piece started as a look at unusual wedding dresses. While researching, I tapped my friend Adriann for information. Turned out, she was story.
Here’s a fascinating look at wedding dresses, what’s current, and how to get the mall set to wear Penny Dreadful couture!
Games People Play | David Magazine
Many years ago, back when I still lived in Vegas, I would hang out at Denny & Lee Magic shop on Saturday mornings with a bunch of great guys (who also happened to be magicians). One of them was Timm Metivier, who, a year ago, decided to open his own shop – not magic, but one for board games.
Here’s a little story I wrote about it for David. Source: Games People Play | David Magazine
Rabbi Abraham Zacuto and the Astrolabe | David Magazine
My boss, the publisher of David Magazine, has this wonderful way of working. If I happen to be traveling somewhere, he knows something about the history and sends me on an adventure to write a story for an upcoming issue. This time, I was in Portugal, so he sent me in search of Portuguese Jewish history. The result is at the link below. Enjoy!

My second piece this month is about people who are changing the world. Gives me a little bit of hope. Not as much as the kids in this picture, but still….
“Adults-Only” Puppet Show | David Magazine
This is What Happens When Two Genres Collide, Puppetry Meet Improv.
Yeah… so one of the pieces I did this month was about puppets and improv – but even better, I got to interview two of my friends and gush about what an amazing show they’re doing!
Finding a New Way | David Magazine
Advances in Treatments Have Resulted in Better Outcomes and Quality of Life for Patients.
My latest story for David Magazine – it really is Brain Surgery!
DAVID: Father’s Day
Happy Father’s Day!! As this is my last year of NOT being a father, we decided to take a little time and seek some advice from the best father I know – mine!
This short interview is a condensed form of a conversation we had (and I assume we will continue to have).
Thanks, Pop! You mean the world to me!
And hey, since the world of print is limiting, here’s a couple of bonus shots of us from when I was a wee one:

DAVID: Sense – The Impresario of Vegas
This month, we take a look at Troy Heard, creative director of Table 8 Productions and The Onyx Theatre.
He’s doing amazing stuff in the world of Vegas theatre, helping to build our scene and culture. Remember, there’s more to live performance than the Strip and the Smith Center.
New Worlds, Terrifying Monsters, Impossible Things: Exploring the Contents and Contexts of Doctor Who
So, a little over a year ago, my friend and colleague Bjorn forwarded a link to me about a publisher looking for some (semi) academic essays about everyone’s favorite BBC time traveler, Doctor Who. Lacking my own share of self-confidence, I hit up another friend and colleague, Dr. Michelle Hansen, to co-write a piece with me. Since we couldn’t decide on any one topic, we pitched two, figuring to double our odds of being accepted.
It worked! It worked so well in fact, they accepted both pitches and we found ourselves with not one, but two pieces in the book, New Worlds, Terrifying Monsters, Impossible Things: Exploring the Contents and Contexts of Doctor Who. The book is available as an ebook from Amazon as well as other sites. My hope is that you’ll check it out and leave a review (hopefully a good one). There’s some really great, insightful pieces inside and if you’re a Whovian or a pop culture fanatic or just a friend to either Michelle or me, this is a book for you.
