Shakespeare Stuff

In 2005 I started a blog at ShakespeareGeek.com, and it's still going. In that time I've added a line of original merchandise and two books. Recently I started an experiment using artificial intelligence and prompt engineering to generate a significant amount of resource pages, including the ability to browse the plays (with scene by scene summaries) as read character biographies.

When Wordle first appeared, I knew what I had to do. Bardle is made up entirely of words that Shakespeare used. It's been going strong for several years, with hundreds of Shakespeare fans still visiting daily (and only occasionally complaining about Shakespeare's famously questionable spelling...)

Join Shakespeare Geek and his pal Bardfilm as they bounce around Shakespeare's influence on pop culture, watching and dissecting movies, tv shows and anything else they can find that claims to be inspired by their favorite playwright.

When my daughter asked for 'her own personal copy' of Macbeth, something that she could be free to make her own and pour her thoughts into, I knew what I had to do. Our edition of Shakespeare's plays focuses on simplicity, doing away with pages and pages of footnotes from centuries ago, instead welcoming the reader to explore and discover the play for themselves, in their own way and their own time.

Why is Shakespeare's Sonnet 16 (Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments..) the only one we ever hear recited at a wedding? I wondered if perhaps people just didn't have a resource where they could pick from all the other romantic things Shakespeare said across his works. So, I wrote one.
