How I Became A Big Time Writer

Trust me, I wasn’t born this amazing. — In April of 2021 I became a writer. It was like flicking a switch. It was not something I wanted to do, or even something I thought I could do, or would even be good at. It was something I was compelled to do. I had had emergency surgery a…

The Best Note-Taking App

For writers, software developers, and visually-oriented note-takers that give a darn about style — Guess what? I take a lot of notes. I always have. So, for years I have been searching for a good app to take notes on my phone. (That also worked great on a desktop computer.) I never found one that was “good enough,” so I have designed my own…

UFOs Are Real (Fun!)

There is no topic that is more interesting than speculating on UFOs and extraterrestrials — If there is a more compelling topic than UFOS, I have never heard of it. Even before I was “born again,” I thought it was fun to speculate on extraterrestrials. …

Regarding The Submarine Disaster: Thank God I Don’t Have A Spare $250,000

Otherwise, I may have been tempted to try my luck in that tiny vessel that imploded recently, two miles down at the bottom of the ocean — Because I do not have much spare cash — as in zero — I have never been tempted to try my luck at exploring the wreckage of the Titanic. If I am honest, I didn’t even know that it was possible to explore the wreckage of the Titanic, at least…

Catan: A Most Delightful Win!

I won, and the homophobic villain came in 3rd! — In the image above, I was green, and I picked 3rd and 4th, since it was a 3-person game. (The order of picks are numbered in the image.) The first two picks grabbed the only decent wood, making my wood option a 2 or a 12. Grr… I decided to…

“You Left The Cat Outside”

This is story number 4 about our rescue kitty named Honey Cat — I feel like a total ass. Now the cat is mad at me. In fact, the whole family is mad at me. Even I am mad at me. “You left the cat outside,” my wife said to me casually, within one minute of me waking up. Beth, my partner, rises…

The Aliens Are Here: They Are Us From The Future

They are here to study us, and warn us, that we are on the brink of causing unimaginable suffering to ourselves and to our planet — Of all of the UFO explanations, my favorite one is that the aliens are not extraterrestrial at all; they are us from the future. I cannot prove this is true, but I think it makes a lot of sense. It would explain why so-called “aliens” take such a strong interest…

Here I Go!

Today is the day I stepped out of that reality and into this reality, and everything changed for the better, at last — I can feel myself, watching myself. As I type this. Another me is behind me, or above me, looking on. From an odd angle. Like a ghost. Like Matthew McConaughey did, from behind that bookshelf, after he went into the black hole, in Interstellar. What am I doing? Why am…

Joasia Zakrzewski: Ultrarunner Who Used Car Says It’s All A Misunderstanding

She claims she is the pioneer of a new form of triathlon, though she acknowledges it may have been wrong to accept the 3rd place finish — Joasia Zakrzewski said her actions were “not malicious” and she should be hailed as a hero, not a cheat or a complete nutjob. Zakrzewski, who is also a medical doctor — though it may be worth taking a closer look at her credentials — took part in the 2023 Manchester…
