Ok… I don’t do tech much. I mean, sure, I like computers… I built one as a right of passage. Sure I’ve tinkered with Raspberry pi single boards and I’ve played with Linux from time to time but I would not say I’m a technophile. I don’t really get super excited by gadgets that we…

Long absences in which to explore one’s self
I haven’t written anything in some time. Partially because I have had so much to say that I couldn’t find a starting point and partly because I have had nothing to say that was really worth saying. The general outcry for justice and complaint about government and religious leaders bastardizing and misrepresenting my beliefs for…

There is just so much…
If you are a Democrat or a Republican understand that it doesn’t matter. Not only do those two groups not define you as a person, they are not defined by you.

A Hopeful Downer
Thinking about the death of human civilization and the natural reclamation of the planet is oddly comforting.
October come and gone.
I am a procrastinator. I’m horribly lazy and it takes a whole lot to get me focused on one particular thing. Inktober is something that gets me focused each year. During the month of Spooky-Christmas, aka Halloween, aka October each year is the challenge of Inktober. If you don’t know, Inktober was a challenge set…
