The other day, I was looking at a frame my mother recently put up in her house. It was around two dozen images of relatives, but primarily her parents and aunts. The pictures were high quality, film-based; from when I was just a child, or even before I was born. There was a picture of […]

Thoughts – Starfield
Heads up: There’s spoilers for a first playthrough all throughout this post. NOT for subsequent ones. When I first heard about this game, I figured it’d be a neat game in the same vein as No Man’s Sky. Fun for exploration, maybe for flying a mishmashed combination of a space shuttle and the International Space […]
AI, Art, and Human Expression
I’m trying something different for this, where I talked out loud to myself about the topic before transcribing it to a document. I’ve edited what I said for grammar’s sake and overall coherency, but other than that it’s my stream of consciousness. AI will only get better, easier to use and more prevalent. Sure, there’ll […]
The Search for Divergence
I’ve been looking for a webseries for about a week now, and while it’s hardly the longest time I’ve spent in search of lost media (looking at you, badly-dubbed-in-Russian copy of Annihilation: Earth) it’s quickly shaping up to be one of the most bizarre. The name of the webseries is Divergence, and no: as far […]
The Forgotten Notjima Game/Nazis in Vie de Marli: A Devil May Cry 2 Shallow Dive
Occasionally I like to take trips into possibility, and flex my English major muscles in the time-honored tradition of finding meaning where there is none. To start with: Devil May Cry 2 is in story primarily an exaggerated scenario of global events driven by powerful individuals operating in large NGOs, akin to a what-if scenario […]
Thoughts – Everything, Everywhere All At Once
This movie’s one of many that I come across: ones that sound great, that I jot down to watch later, and never actually follow through on. In fact, the only reason I even watched it tonight was because my father picked it out this afternoon. While I’m dreadfully glacial in addressing my own ever-growing backlog, […]
Power Cords Are Badass
That’s not a typo; this isn’t about Chris DeGarmo’s or Jim Matheos’ killer riffs. It’s about this: Why are they badass? It’s in the name. Plug it into the wall, pop the other end into your device of choice and watch tamed lightning surge into a boxed-in chemical reaction that lets you do anything, whether […]
The Mind Is A Terrible Thing
A few weeks ago, I rediscovered hypnosis mp3s. Not to lose weight, or break habits per se, but entertaining ones. Hypnosis teters on the edge of pseudoscience and outright charlatanism, but in truth, it’s simply a trusting mind in need of affirmation, and a confident voice able to provide such. In that regard, hypnosis can […]
The Digital Wallpaper – A Love Letter
Second to making the play count for Kalimba or Like Humans Do hit four digits, or making your desktop look totally badass with a new theme, there’s no bigger way to make your mark on your chosen device than by changing the desktop wallpaper. Compare the classical, yet commonplace scene of the below left image, […]
Informed in the Information Age
I’m a staunch advocate of keeping up with current events, both local and global. My sole unerring routine is to go through my morning cycle of news, starting with Washington Post, leading into Geopolitical Futures, and ending with my local news website’s past 24 hours of articles. I’ll repeat the first two later in the […]
