Burn Rate

When Mick Theebs was younger, stupider, and greedier, he made the unwise decision to work with a start-up founded by an old high school classmate. After some promising initial success, the decision proved to be an unmitigated disaster with the company being undermined by lies, drugs, and incompetence.

This is a true story about how the blind ambition, unchecked ego, and naked avarice that is the fabric of start-up culture can lead to ruin.

Hamlet 2020

A daring literary experiment that has never* ever** been*** attempted**** before*****- a modern re-imagining of William Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Within these pages you’ll find the same story you’ve come to know and love about that famous ill-fated prince of Denmark slightly updated for today’s troubled times. You’ll note that all of the artistry of The Bard’s words have been stripped away, leaving only the unvarnished truth of the text behind, so even a moron could understand. You’ll find that this play rewards knowledge of the original text, as it is ultimately a love letter to Shakespeare’s original piece.
