How to make a Wizards Staff

We've all seen it in a movie at least once. Or maybe pictured it while reading a book...
The wizard stands defiant, glowing staff held high in the black of night, banishing the monsters and saving the day.
Breaking tradition, I'll show you step by step how to make a real staff of light. By far the most common type of wizard's staff, this is as close as you can get to real magic :)
No batteries required. Really. Ever.

You know you're all proud of how your staff came out, so take some pictures and send them in.

Featured Short Story *New*

My first attempt at romantic fiction.

"When Billy woke up he could feel the magic in the air. The light coming through his bedroom window was a little bit brighter that morning, making the toys on his shelf seem to glow happily. This was going to be a special day, he just knew it. When his favorite song came on the radio while he was brushing his teeth, he smiled so wide the toothpaste ran down his chin. Something great was bound to happen today, but what?
"

Some people envision some kind of Mad Maxish world. Others talk about something more like the Dark Ages.From aliens bailing us out to bugs taking over the earth, I've heard every theory out there.
But I think the future might turn out to be something completely unexpected. Here's what I think could happen if society ever collapses...

The Face of Disabilty *Commentary *

In a moment of sheer frustration, I sat down and wrote how I was feeling. I thought it was just a rant, but it has since been published (local paper) and is linked to worldwide. Never thought my most popular writing would be a rant... who knew?

"Wow, you don't look disabled...."

I get that a lot. And it always makes me think. What does it mean? What does "disabled" have to do with "looks"? I mean.... ok, sure... if my leg had been ripped off in some some horrible accident, it would show. If my ears had been burned off in the act of listening to a Paris Hilton tune, that would show, too. Perhaps if my hands had been incinerated by how hot my wife's iPod was (before it died last week)...

May The Force be with you *non fiction

It was the middle of the night, and I was stuck. Deep in the heart of a Georgia swamp. With no other choice, I made my way through to safety, meeting Obi Wan Kenobi along the way. Kind of...

One of the many unlikely tales to come out of being in the Army.
