His first professional writing job was crafting a humor column for an internal newsletter for Intel Corporation, inheriting for a short while the pseudonym Cal L. Kent. It was nice to be paid well for writing, but he also learned the importance of having a good editor when a bad editing job ruined every joke in his third column. His short story, The Push of Man, appeared in Kizuna: Fiction for Japan charity anthology in 2011, the proceeds going to a charity benefiting orphans in the area of the devastating Tsunami that year. Also in 2011, he had an article published in 2600: The Hacker Quarterly under the pseudonym Johnny Fusion =11811=. In 2014 he published Programming Concepts for the Non-Programmer, and of this writing has earned a total of $38.16 in royalties. His current projects include developing a comic book series and continuing work on a website devoted to Jedi Philosophy. His hobbies include Aikido, sword-fighting, skateboarding, playing Go, performing music, walking his pet bear, Sadie (who due to her mastery of Jedi Mind Trick appears to be a small, black dog made of awesome), and writing his own biographies. In 2017 he earned a Knighthood in the Organization California Jedi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 76\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.16 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 14, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52513506296115,"sku":"9781726007221","price":20.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/DPeLlPkzMZ9781726007221.webp?v=1760367198","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/your-first-step-into-a-larger-world-an-introduction-to-walking-the-jedi-path-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
