What “dead” technology would you bring back? #technology #progress

I’ve toyed with Rust and Go. I should dive deeper into one or the other. #programming

How do you measure (actually test/measure) what you don’t know? How do you work against psychological bias? #life #failure #psychology

Sometimes, overcomplicating things just shows you the better path. Most of the time, it’s just overcomplication. #life

I should design an icon. No. AI =generation is never an option. #programming #design

Happy Eat Your Jell-O Day

Greetings. Guess what? It’s a new week and you’ll be back doing what you do tomorrow. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Scheduling time for something important isn’t as important as actually just doing it. You don’t need to schedule time. If it’s important, push everything else back and just do it. #life #success #productivity #time

Reward yourself with a weekend. Oh, never mind. It’s half over.

Come to this year’s Creatures, Crimes, and Creativity Conference. Learn, meet, talk, get stuff signed. Have fun, or some semblance of the same. I’ll be making a nuisance of myself and giving stuff away . creaturescrimesandcreativity.com/2026-auth… #writing #author #reader #books #mdc3con

I’ve realized something deep and disturbing/reassuring. It explains a lot. I’ll work it into “The Cat and the Witch”, which I’ll write after my current WIP. No one will “get” it, but that’s how reality works. #writing #reality #philosophy

“Given everything you knew at the time, would you have acted differently? If yes, why didn’t you? If no, you prove my point. Free will is shackled by context and knowledge. Context is just history and what has come before. That is an overwhelming set of handcuffs.” #writing #time #philosophy

The phrases, “They were meant for more”, “they were destined for greatness”, and other such acknowledge fate which is just another term for cause-and-effect. The phrases just mean they had no control over their lives, which none of us do. #life

If you doubt yourself or what you can do, you will never become who you could be. #life #failure

Gravity affects time. Sufficiently large gravitic sources can split time. Occurrences in both streams could lead to different “historical” timelines. The streams would probably combine unless other sources forced them apart. This could lead to null-time pockets. #physics #time #history #writing

Philadelphia has been busy this year: 250, FIFA, All Star Game, etc. Next year will be boring, with nothing to look forward to but losing sports teams and potholes.~ #philadelphia

I’ve been busy and somewhat productive lately: writing, designing/programming, taking care of The Gathering, and normal stuff. I need/could use a real vacation … #life

I hate doing the easy things. I’m lazy that way. #life

The reason people put “book nooks” on their shelves is because they miss physical bookstores where you could find magic among the shelves. #bookstore #book #reading .

If you go to a library but don’t read physical books, you have a problem. #book #reading

Kotlin is pretty much like many other languages syntactically. That’s good and bad. Good because I can code in it, bad because it doesn’t bring anything truly new and uses a JVM, so I’ll never use it for anything. #programming #kotlin

It’s a fairly productive day so far, despite it being a Saturday. No blood has been spilled in the process.
