  • First Blog Failure

    I’m sure this happens to everyone, but I’ve had my first major blogging failure today, and I feel silly. I made a whole post about struggling through difficult books, and then WordPress and I lost it. But I don’t want to lose my streak, so I’m just going to whimper this one out there into…

  • What is Quality?

    What is Quality?

    I’ll write about this more coming up, but I’m working through Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig, and his diatribe on Quality has put my mind in overdrive.

  • Never too Late to Start

    Never too Late to Start

    One of my favorite arcs in storytelling is the redemption arc, and the motif of it’s never too late to start doing some good is *muah* chef’s kiss.

    Thoughtful Thursday: Come and See

    You know, I’ve been slacking on this thing, but I don’t really feel bad about it. I’m trying to reduce shame in my life, and as good as motivator as it can be, I think it often serves a toxic purpose. That isn’t to say that we shouldn’t feel shame when we make egregious character…

  • How to Roleplay (Not the Sexy Way)

    How to Roleplay (Not the Sexy Way)

    Considering that I cross-post these blogs to LinkedIn, what a spicy title! Remember that LinkedIn is just another social platform that will also die with the churning of time. It’s outlasted Myspace, though I’m not sure it will translate well to the eventual hellscape of the Metaverse. Is going on LinkedIn in VR just… going…

  • Thoughts on Moving

    Thoughts on Moving

    Whew. I’ve moved a large number of times now. This will be my sixteenth move in my life so far. Here are some things I think about every single time. How did I get so much stuff? Where did all these tchotchkes come from, and why can’t I seem to get rid of them? Do…

  • The Value of Dance Music

    The Value of Dance Music

    First of all, all art has value, because it speaks to that intangible essence of spirit and connection. Thanks for coming to my two-sentence Ted Talk. But for real, I’ve recently gotten back into EDM (Electronic Dance Music, for the laymen) and I’m glad to be back in the halls of crunchy drops and melodic…
