Fleeing destruction and the wrath of the rain gods, the colonists moved into what they thought would be a new safe home for their people; a bright tomorrow and the promise of a better future. But little did they know, the milk and honey they drank was poisoned. Their new land of promise and plenty was ruled by even more malevolent and insidious gods with powerful magic which no amount of hope and prayer could serve to overcome. As the last of them lay gasping for breath, surrounded by dead kin, she wondered if anyone would remember her and her people.

Startup 9: What are you wearing today?
Like many people, I am a student. I attend over a dozen classes at two different colleges. I also attend regular social events and networking meetups. I often wonder as I am dressing, is this the same thing I wore last time I went to the place I’m heading now? It sounds silly, but it’s…

My Open Revenue Dashboard
Following as I often do, the example of Pieter Levels, I have decided to create an open and public page to show progress towards my revenue goals with several of my projects. This allows me to hold myself accountable and to show hard numbers related to the writing I’m doing. Dashboards are a valuable tool…

Decided to try an iced Americano with blonde-roasted espresso instead of dark-roasted because of how many negative comments I have recently read about Starbucks’ dark roasted espresso. I super do not like blonde espresso. I will stick to dark.

Persepolis Rising was well written and excellently orchestrated. There are a lot of really interesting situations and arguments involving the philosophy of…

The Coming Dawn
When I left a previous job a few years ago, it was because I felt like there had been a dramatic decay in the quality of the people around me. Typically, that company has a very values-driven culture where people are strongly bought into the ideas and principles of service and commitment to quality. In…

Goals Update 2018-01-01
It’s a new year, whatever that really means. I want to start by reviewing my accomplishments from 2017: My 9-5 ended. It’s hard to think what to say about this. I’m sure I will expound at length in the future. I accomplished the incredible feat of not just doing double-full-time at school, but doing it…

New Year New World
When was the last time you saw a movie where the future didn’t suck? In fact, when was the last time you heard any kind of story or idea about a future which is better than today? This is a bad habit for civilization, and one for which I intend to be part of the…

Foundation and Earth by Isaac Asimov
This is the last book in The Foundation Series, chronologically. There are two more books by date of publication which are prequels to the series. This book made me sad. It felt gratuitous and contrived. I don’t think his heart was in it, though after reading this entire enormous series, the last paragraph of this…
