The phone was ringing. It hadn’t rung in weeks. No one called Dom anymore. His head was groggy as he stumbled out of bed to his living room, where he quickly touched the giant mute icon on his wall display, stopping the obnoxious sound. Dom rubbed his head as he squinted at the […]
This short essay is going to be entirely focused on the end of Moore’s law and Ray Kurzweil and his S-curves. As of my writing this in 2019, its become very clear that computer circuits are bottoming out, or topping out, depending on how you want to phrase it. What I mean is that the […]
“Attention Commander Seepgood, do you read? We’ve been receiving your broadcast for the last several minutes, why have you hailed us? Over” Was the reply that came over the radio. “No! Sorry! Can’t read you! You’re f-din- ou-” Screamed the commander, digging through his wardrobe. “Please repeat Commander. Over” “cut transmission!” Yell whispered the commander, […]
“What do you mean its offline?!” “I mean its no longer is online.” “Well no duh! I need a drink. Where’s my drink? I wasn’t to be interrupted for the afternoon. And now you go and tell me its offline! How am I supposed to get anything done if I haven’t the downtime I need […]

I won’t take credit for the structure or the perspective but I had a really fun time writing it and thought it was still worth sharing (we could also […]
After about a year and a half of procrastination I finally decided to migrate this blog! Though in fairness there was no particular reason to worry about migration until my current hosting was due for renewal. So I guess external motivations really are the best?

Where have I been? That’s the question. I have hardly posted anything to my blog in the last year+. I would be lying if I said I couldn’t have made time to do so. But I didn’t and haven’t. Generally I have been busy with work and fatherhood, which has taken up the majority of […]
