In the constructed world, we are surrounded by instructions and warnings. They're literally called signs. Sometimes, I try to find humour in the literal meaning of something like *…

*Human* creation, like this very text, is the output of a complex network of chemicals, reactions, re-reactions, electrical signals, and whatever it is that compels me to write thi…

**Introduction** On the whole, *Ceremonials* is a big, bombastic album. It focuses on nostalgia, *water*, love, and is more polished and refined than *Lungs*. There is a problem t…

The room was simple. A table, and two chairs. A staircase leading up, and a staircase leading down. At each side of the table, sat two legal professionals. The surface of the table…

Seeing this film within twenty four hours of finishing the book was a good idea. The book left me both inspired and uneasy, and the film adaptation added more depth to the book. Th…

When I get a book recommendation, I don't read blurbs. I don't read a synopsis, or a review. I go in blind. In fact, when I decide to read a book, I don't really look at the cover …

Today, the sun blazed away in the sky, just like any other day. It tried to burn me, to coax sweat from my body, and to get me to surrender from the outdoors to within, but I defie…

The ice cream truck accelerated onto the freeway. Rubber rotated on the surface at an increasing rate. The chime was silent. The engine roared. A fridge hummed. Children made den…

There has been some discussion about AI and LLM generated content on HIVE. The overall consensus appears to be that LLM and AI content is bad, but I have yet to see any conclusive,…

This week sees some significant changes to the data structure of the report, which makes comparison to prior weeks more difficult, owing to the fact that there is an enriched data …

Nine years, huh? More than a quarter of my life, spent on the blockchain formerly known as Steem, now known as HIVE. I often reflect on my time spent on <em>chain</em> as opposed t…

If you're as old as me, and you're a PC gamer, you've probably played *something* from the *Command and Conquer* series. But have you played *Renegade*? Unlike almost every other g…

The phrase "*money doesn't grow on trees*" clearly does not apply for Wizards of the Coast, and the printing presses that churn out sheets and sheets of cardboard. Slices of once o…
