I’ve been carrying this sci-fi world in my head for years now—quietly mapping it, loving it, letting it grow. Writing a whole book feels like wrestling a leviathan, and yeah, sometimes I wonder, “Does anyone even read books anymore?” But that question doesn’t matter. Art is for you first, readers...

Returning to writing, and I mean, in fiction, is something I’ve been struggling with for quite some time. It’s not that I struggle to think up worlds, and characters, and scenarios. No, that’s all in my head, all of the time. It’s translated into the music I’ve made, and the...

It’s the end of the year, and I’ve done a lot! Of course, I also had a list of things I wanted to do in my Apple Notes, and uh … I actually don’t think I did even one of them. Seems, “Get more serious about dating and dating apps”...

I’m at this impasse with my Second Life store, and I just can’t make a decision. If you’ve read my blog at all over the past year or more, even, you already know I’ve shut it down, and then opened it again, and then shut it down, and then opened...

Mozilla this, Mozilla that. The Mozilla corporation hates you. It hates its userbase. Mozilla desperately wants you to stop using the Firefox browser. It seems every single day they’re coming up with some new, egregious way to shove some “AI” feature into the web browser, further peeling back the skin...

Today I discovered something new about Linux, or maybe just Pop!_OS itself, since that’s nearly the only distro I’ve used, besides Debian (on a repurposed Dell). And, let me tell you, this wouldn’t be even half the problem it became for an hour while I was munching on my lunch,...

Lately, and as time marches forward, the AI bubble seems to be inching closer to the pop. What this means for the US economy is … up in the air, I guess. I honestly don’t know if it would change anything for me now, or not. I know everything costs...
