Today I played a Wall Street passerby and stood in for Jim True-Frost on Episode 09011 (“Gods and Insects”) of the television series Law & Order: Criminal Intent.

I also passed along to Jeff Goldblum’s assistant my recent essay titled “The Day Michael Jackson Died” from ETC: A Review of General Semantics. The essay covers the rumor about Jeff’s death which circulated on the same day Michael Jackson passed away.

My recently published essay, “The Day Michael Jackson Died,” is now online! The essay was published in the current issue of ETC: A Review of General Semantics (66:3, July 2009).

Today I received in the mail Volume 66, No. 3, of the journal ETC: A Review of General Semantics.

In it is included my essay titled “The Day Michael Jackson Died.” I will put the essay online as soon as I get ahold of a .pdf of the essay.

In the meantime, if you’d like to watch the original presentation of the essay at the Across the Generations Conference at Fordham University in September 2009, click here.
