As Maddow aptly concludes, this conversation will be closely studied in the present and future, if not directly shown to journalism students. I really think this is one of the most important dialogues between the US left and right since The Great Divide, we’ll call it, aka. The 2016 Election. If Republicans were thinking […]
The Pi-Eyed Programmer
Linux, Personal Computers, Sever Administration, TechnologyLately, I’ve been rather enthralled by the Raspberry Pi, as I’ve heard so much about them that I finally had to get one. My world has not been the same since. I have wanted to develop a deeper understanding of electronics for the longest time and this device has been the perfect context to open […]
The Sea of Red: The Future of the Democratic Party
Politics, Social IssuesThe 2016 Presidential Election was an unpleasantly shocking experience. For those of us on the left, this has been a stark reminder of the George W Bush days when we marked a reputation for ourselves that has left an everlasting stain on the world’s conscience, and now we seem to have re-initiated such a dark […]
Life is Moon, Or, To The Strange
Gaming, General, Graphic Arts, Human Behavior, Literature, Social Issues, Technology
I have been at a loss for words for the past few months. Since completing the series, my mind has been in a state of stasis—frozen in uncertainty after being bombarded by an amalgam of ideas that I have encountered many times before in many other stories, histories, and re-tellings, but simply not in this […]
Life is the Darkest of Rooms
Gaming, Graphic Arts, Human Behavior, Literature, Social Issues, Technology
Just when I had gathered the pieces of myself back together after being hit to death in the ol’ future head by Episode 3, I instantly became re-dismantled by the subsequent adventure, rather aptly named The Dark Room. This is where things take a turn for the worst and our inner demons begin to emerge. […]
Life: Thrower of Curveballs
Gaming, Graphic Arts, Human Behavior, Social Issues, Technology
Wow… it took a moment to collect myself. This is one extraordinary adventure and well-deserving of all its accolades. Max Caufield is a modern day Holden Caulfield, which I’m sure is exactly what they were going for, what with that “Catcher in the Rye”-looking poster back there. The scenarios that one experiences in this game […]
Life is Fucked Up
Gaming, Graphic Arts, Human Behavior, Literature, Social Issues, Technology
Brace yourselves… I have paragraphs to unload. PARAGRAPHS. There may be spoilers within, so reader beware… First of all, I am not kidding: Simply playing this game will make the patriarchy your bitch. SquareEnix, you have out-fucking-done yourself. I really didn’t think they had it in them any more, that FF7 was just a fluke […]
macOS Sierra Hates Web Development
OS X, Sever Administration, TechnologyOr so you would think, given the number of hoops one jumps through on El Capitan and up versus, I don’t know, any other OS! The main annoyance, which I first encountered on El Capitan, is how port 80 and 443 are treated very specially. You just simply can’t be trusted with them so OS […]
Demonstrations
GeneralI invite you to take a look at my new Demos page, where I plan to showcase applications I created that work with technology of much interest and relevance to anyone making modern-day software. The first application I have to share is the final project for Udacity’s JavaScript Design Patterns, which utilizes web APIs from […]
Getting at what Matters
Human Behavior, Politics, Social IssuesThe tragic death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri should never be forgotten, especially the circumstances leading up to it. Although it has been said before, there was much more than race involved in that terrible event. These problems strike at the heart of what it is to be human. In such moments, the darkness […]
