A listing of all long-form posts published to-date. Herein, you'll find my thoughts on concepts, ideas, politics, and more. How and Why Do I Blog?For part of 2023, a good amount of 2024, and all of 2025, so far, I’ve been blogging. In that, I’ve been writing down my thoughts on random things, or talking about topics I find important, or imperative.

Fart Knuckleburger Wants to Sell You on the Idea of AI GlassesIn an extremely long, and inaccessible Wall Street Journal article, that you cannot read unless you pay (that I can read, because I’m subscribed to Apple News), it’s detailed that Mark Zucklenuts wants to convince you that the world will soon be run by a pair of glasses you wear,...

Beyond the Blackwall: Gaming on LinuxMaybe “beyond the Blackwall” isn’t the greatest metaphor for a revolution regarding the rising movement of people abandoning Windows for Linux.

Returning to EVE Online with a BangIt’s been years since I seriously played EVE Online, at all. So long, that the systems have changed to the point where you can’t even train skills on an old character, unless you pay monthly. Which, for the longest time, turned me off.

The Sad State of RiftIf you’ve spent any time being alive before the age of everything being live service and children aging you by saying things like, “What’s a Mass Effect?” Or, “Minecraft was my entire childhood.” And, let’s not forget, “The Xbox One is retro.” You aren’t alone, and I feel your pain,...

To Grind, or Not to Grind?The topic of toxic grind culture has come up before on my site, but, as it does, it comes up again and again on social media, especially in places where there’s a lot of focus on tech and entrepreneurship. As someone whose been doing a multitude of things, for multiple...

Is it Now the Year of Linux?The “Year of Linux” has been pretty much every year, ever, since its inception. At least, that’s what I’ve been led to believe. But, due to recent developments with Windows becoming more and more an unusable garbage-land full of malware and spyware, that “year” seems to be inching closer and...

The Conundrum of Second Life and its Landlords, vs. A Free Platform Where Nothing's For SaleSo, it’s been about a week since I jumped into OpenSim, and took it all in as if slamming a shot of tequila. I made some judgments right off the bat, and a little bit of an angry, now deleted post, where I decided I wasn’t thinking about things correctly....

OpenSim, the Decentralized Second Life?Update: Per Jupiter’s post via AcitivityPub Little nitpick: OSgrid is not "the OpenSim grid". It is not even "the official OpenSim grid". There is no such thing as an official OpenSim grid, only 4,000+ big and small grids that are independent from both each other and OpenSim's development. Read more...
