It’s been a long time, but I’m back after 8 months. What have I been doing? Besides working and being a dad: learning. For about the first three months, I wrote and continued to try editing. Afterwards, I decided it wasn’t going to work, and I needed to prioritize one…

I haven't written anything on this site in awhile, and I'll address why that's happening. I've been writing stuff, yes, but I've also been learning programming. I've learned a fair amount, and included within that is PHP! So, at some point, I'll be changing my blog to use my own…

I decided to talk about this because, for the first time in several years, I haven’t been writing (much). I’ve come to the conclusion that writing isn’t the career for me. Not because I’m bad at it (in my judgment) but because of reality. Namely, capitalism. Writing’s something I truly…

Hello everyone, I think most everyone forgot about the Harper letter, and I have to admit I’m a bit slow in writing this too. I’ve been quite swamped, mostly in good ways, and it’s about time I write the blog post I wanted to about it. So you know what…

Hello everyone, An old theme came back to me as I was talking to Andy about how I took about a month to read Madame Bovary, the title of this post. He made a joke about ‘casuals’ who actually enjoy reading being inferior, and that was a joke. But it’s…

Hello everyone, If you didn’t know, I play video games. I’ve done it all my life, and while almost everyone else I know grew out of it, I didn’t. It gets a bad rap often, and gets treated as something that children do or just for entertainment. I am pretty…

I haven’t updated this site or put anything on the blog in the last few days. Before the last few days, I was thinking about writing a short piece about storytelling in video games, but I haven’t. My days have become extremely regimented, and I haven’t been very productive because…

Hello everyone, I recently put down a book and didn’t finish it. It doesn’t seem like that big of a deal, I’m sure, but it is enough to me. It provoked a lot of thoughts in me about the commitments duty of the reader (which is a fallacious way to…

I like playing Sudoku, probably too much, and I’ve decided I talk about it. I find it fun. It has some merits, and it’s the easiest example I have of something mundane other than traditional books/art having something to say about the world. Before I start, you should check out…

Okay, I felt obligated to finish up my thoughts about Star Trek because I'd done all that other stuff basically no one cares about. But I did it. I even rewatched three seasons of Enterprise to write this. I hope whoever’s reading this is grateful because that’s true sacrifice. Also…
