404 Not Found

I spend a lot of time thinking about what I want to write. I have a couple of books I’m working on, sure. But it’s the blog writing I like to be 100% consistent with, and yet … I’m not. It’s not that I lack topics to jot down thoughts...

Dusk Incarnate is Rising from the Grave (And She’s Meaner Than Ever)

A couple of weeks ago, on one of those quiet December nights when the year is wheezing out its last breath, I opened a folder on my PC I hadn’t touched since 2017 (that’s traveled hdd transfer to hdd transfer to cloud transfer, and so on). Inside was 3000 Miles...

She Bleeds Subspace: Meeting the Astraea

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...

My Return to Writing Fiction

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...

This is Me, Wrapped, for 2025

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”...

My Bad Habits Threaten to Catch-Up with Me

Since I was seventeen, I’ve been a smoker. I should warn you, this whole post is about nicotine, smoking, and addiction, and if that’s something you don’t want to read about, click away. But, I smoked for a long time, even tried dip, early e-cigarettes, and nicotine gum. Eventually, vapes...

Tim Sweeney is Probably Forcing Epic's Studios to Vibe Code

The man who thinks using Linux is like leaving the United States for Canada, and also refuses to allow Linux gamers to participate in his games (see: Fortnite), also thinks Steam (a platform where Fortnite isn’t listed) should do away with the “made with AI” labeling. Because, nothing says, “We...

[Second Life] Neo Machina is Online

After a lot of deliberating and deciding, since I’m not really capable of just throwing ten years of work in the trash and forgetting about it, and because I’ve had months of work I did in 2023 kind of just … offline, in Second Life: Neo Machina is back online....

[REVOSA]: Should It Stay, or Should It Go?

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's Secret Web Scraper Service

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...
