The Pluto Observer: R.I.P.



Watch this video at Michael Casher Tube

Between September 2005 and October 2010 "The Pluto Observer" was the official "newsletter" of Science Fiction for Thinkers.com.

What was in this "newsletter"? Well, the latest solar system and Earth news, naturally, with lots of "comic relief" thrown in to make that junk go down a little easier. Plus a lot of news commentary and editorial opinion because I wrote this online monthly newsletter under a pen name, mostly for therapy.

Maybe that's why nobody read it. For more information, use the following link:

The Pluto Observer

This month marks the 2nd Anniversary of The Pluto Observer, "a one-page monthly newsletter from the planet Pluto" that I began writing in September 2005. It's a free at Science Fiction for Thinkers, my official website.

Sometimes I have a lot of fun writing this so-called newsletter and sometimes it's a real drag, to use a worn-out Baby Boomer cliché. But, I'll continue offering this kind of commentary as long as the fingers of my alter ego and star reporter, Jonco Bugos, can keep moving over the keyboard.

Some issues offer actual articles about current events and some are strictly for fun. And that's the beauty of being an independent author. No editor can say to me, "don't write that" or "this crap gets cut" or "hell, you're just a stupid hick who can't even write". Only The Great Publishing Wizards of Big Apple City will tell you that kind of stuff. And that's because they've lived all their lives without setting foot in "fly-over" country (that's the USA between Manhattan Island and Los Angeles) and this is their biggest fatal flaw.
