[Skip to the good stuff! ↓]

Hi there. My name is Frank Showalter. I’m a guy old enough to recognize the names Trap-Jaw, Wheeljack, and Flint, to have seen Ghostbusters and Back to the Future on the big screen, and to remember MTV when it played nothing but videos. Now, I’m a software developer living and working in Northern Virginia.

This site is something of an aggregator for all my online activity. I’ve got a Movie Log where I post short reviews of all the flicks I see, and there’s the Link Blog where I post all the funny, wonderful, and interesting things I come across in my travels on the interwebs. I’ve also got a writing blog, Bad Words, where I chronicle my attempts at storytelling. And if that’s not enough, you can follow me on Twitter.

Subscribe You can visit any of these sites to view their various feed options, or subscribe to my big feed that contains everything.

Here's what I've been up to lately:
