What if there was a small exclusive summer camp in Jurassic World during the events of the first film? You don’t have to imagine, because that’s what Camp Cretaceous is.

After All this Time The Right Stuff Still Inspires Despite Historical Inaccuracies
It’s possible there exist plenty of places on the internet where you can read about the historical inaccuracies and inconsistencies in The Right Stuff. This is not really that place. I chose to overlook that and focus on one very important thing they got right. It is an inspiring story of the early tribulations of America’s space program, and to this day, it’s still an inspiring watch.
I have not yet read Tom Wolfe’s book The Right Stuff on which the film was based, though it is making its way to the top of my list.

Jurassic Park’s underlying themes anything but extinct 30 years later
It’s been more than two decades since I first read Jurassic Park. In that time, I’ve come to deeply love the original movie trilogy and the new series starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. But the thing is, this book is far more compelling than I remember, and it is quite odd to be placing different pieces of it in the different films in the original trilogy.
Declassify >One Year Later: Three Hallmarks of The Palmer Files
It occurred to me recently that I don’t take a good look at my personal growth often enough. Sure, I’ve recapped my year-long content experiment, a week of guest hosting on four different shows in five days, and I made a big deal about the 300th post of agentpalmer.com.
Well, now it’s time to look back at one year of The Palmer Files and what I’ve learned from a year of running my own podcast.
Declassify >How To Make A Difference: A review of Alan Jennings’ The Pursuit of Fairness
This book is three things in one. It’s an activist’s manifesto describing the thoughts and some of the actions that Alan Jennings has had that have cultivated his activist’s mentality; it is a memoir describing his assault on problems within his own community that has fed his activism; and it is a how-to manual for running, creating, and even just working for or volunteering at a non-profit organization.
All three of those things is what makes The Pursuit of Fairness: Fighting for What’s Right in a World That’s So Wrong by Alan Jennings a heavy and yet still entertaining book to read and learn from.
