A listing of all long-form posts published to-date. Herein, you'll find my thoughts on concepts, ideas, politics, and more. Today, I Have To Defend BlueskyI’m writing this, partially because, I need something to write about to take my mind off the pain of potentially having broken my toe at work, and because I’ve seen and kind of keep seeing people sharing this as a way to say, “Hey, Bluesky is about to start scraping...

Social Media Was Good For A WhileYeah, I’m writing about something I’ve written about a few times now, but it echoes my feelings of getting older, and wishing we could take at least parts of the world back twenty five years or so.

I Spent Two Days Playing World Of WarcraftYou might look at the headline, “I spent two days playing World of Warcraft,” and go, “What is this, 2008?” And, honestly? I wish it was. But, the past it is not. Recently, I had a position change at work, and now I have to sleep during the day. But,...

Neo Machina: OnlineIt’s been quite a while since my city in Second Life has been online, or even seen any light of day. For the most part, it’s been inactive in Linden Lab’s backup servers for well over six months, maybe longer? I have a hard time keeping up with … time....

Reasons You Should Jump On My PatreonI was trying to think of something I could write long-form. It’s always some controversial topic, or a topic of interest, and then a week of lulls in inspiration of anything to write about.
