Too Early for Singing
I woke up a little over an hour ago. I’ve played on my phone and bugged my friends who are also awake on Facebook Messenger. I’ve had an Rx Energy and some crackers. What I haven’t done is broken out into song. Most people don’t do that at all and I try not to do…

Video Games
What is your favorite hobby or pastime? With very little shadow of a doubt I would have to say video games are my favorite pastime. I like to argue on social media. Making babies is incredibly enjoyable. And I like doing my art though I keep hoping it won’t remain just a hobby. But for…

Starting Over

The Before Time
Life Without A Computer I am a first generation gamer. I was around when Pong and Zork became commercial successes. I bought my first personal computer when I was fifteen. I worked all summer to buy a Commodore 64 and all the externals to make it worth having. Before that and as computers were becoming…

Free
I want to gently assure you my discerning reader that nothing in the world is free. There is always at least an opportunity cost and more likely than not a financial one as well. Your prescription for instance is not free. There may be a zero copay but someone somewhere is likely paying a sizable…

Design and Coding
What skill would you like to learn? I am already working to improve my graphic design. I learn something new about it almost every day. I could probably take some courses and get a few professional programs to make my art a little more commercially viable. But as far as what I’m doing already that…
