RANDOM PERSON: Protect me from terrorists. GUMMINT: We need a way to identify terrorists. EMAIL PROVIDER: We use a ROBOT to search everyone’s emails so we can try to sell them things they don’t really need but MIGHT want. RANDOM PERSON: That’s cool! GUMMINT: Can you search for keywords that might identify threats too? EMAIL […]
I have determined that I am the writer’s equivalent of bipolar. I am not sure that psychologically I qualify (though I am also not sure I do NOT not), but my writing habits sure do. I seem to either have a plethora of positive to share, or a storm cloud of negative. And since I […]
Yep! Another post so soon. Humor abounds this week!! But don’t go thinking I actually exited my cave to interact with the world. THIS ONE comes from a newspaper headline. That is another thing that has become a joke in the modern world. Once upon a time, NEWS sources were dedicated to telling people what […]
A lot has happened since I chose to embrace my own version of sanity. The world continues to show me how wise a choice that actually has been. Between advances in technology actually causing the human brain to shrivel up (how else can we explain willful ignorance with such an easy abundance information), and the […]
Hey guys! I am back! Guys? Guys? Yooohoooo! ‘memba me? Between my cosmic wanderings and my eternal goal to get the world’s record for the most number of unread blogs, I have been fairly busy of late. IN the world even! One would think that would mean much fodder for this site, and one would […]

Most people who have followed any of my blogs have probably gathered that I am kind of fond of words .. especially playing with them. I have always found language a fascinating creature, especially because it can be so widely manipulated. Everyone does it to some extent. Advertisers completely redefine the meaning of words all […]
Especially with the movement towards a digital society, we have become a world defined by … well … … FADS. Now this is not really a completely new concept, but it seems fads now take on the same quality as most social interactions do these days, i.e. a picture with a few words to be […]
I may have mentioned once or twice that I am an antiestablishmentarianist. If I have not actually mentioned it, it probably shows. That is actually one of the few ists / isms I have ANY respect for. And not just because the word simply has character! For those who have not encountered this philosophy, or maybe […]
A couple of posts ago, I mentioned the realization that we are always surrounded by inspiration. The trick is opening our senses to it. The challenge is not a lack of inspiration, but the lack of consistency in those who seek it. We humans are pretty fickle beings, changing from moment to moment … even […]
