Dr. Revelator Snorts Bacon Bits

The older I get, not only do I understand why Emily Dickinson didn’t leave her house, but also why she rarely even came downstairs. 

An ARG that is Both Entertaining and Worth the Time

Are any of you guys into Alternative Reality Games (ARGs)? 

There is an interesting one that started in January “involving” actor/physical comedian Nathan Barnatt called “Dad Feels”.

I’m not even going to try to explain it, or even go into the details except to ask everyone to please SUBSCRIBE TO DAD!

When Dad gets 50K subs on YT, we’ll…

My Bitcoin Story: A Bit of How I First got into BTC

Here’s a quick little bio highlighting some of most notable parts of my history with Bitcoin.

I, like everyone else, was pretty skeptical at first hearing about some “magical internet money”.

I thought that I’d basically be giving Anonymous access to my computer if I downloaded the original client. I couldn’t wrap my head around what “proof of work” and blockchain ya-ya this-and-that. But…

Today’s Meme: “Permanent US Resident” Murdered

In case you aren’t paying attention, the #TheResistance people are up in Outrage™ that a journalist has been murdered by Saudi Arabia. They haven’t deemed it important that, for context, the WaPo journo happens to be the cousin of a well-known, late international arms dealer, close to the Bush and Bin Laden families, has ties to The Carlyle Group, has a long history of…well, let’s just call it…

A few months ago, I started looking at the free tools for writers available for Linux OS to help me structure some of the idea strings for a #Scifi story I’d been forming in my head. I was getting inspiration from several sources like The Expanse (TV show and novels), Mission to Zyxx(a long-form, improvised, science-fiction comedy podcast), and a little-known gem of a campy, ‘blue collar’ scifi…

One more flashback guest post. This was originally published on  blogspot.com in March 2008. There are some references to the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) document that linked to the now defunct website for the group. Rather than leave it in question, here is the document in full via the Wayback Machine.

John McCain’s Particular Hypocrisy with Veterans

Let’s first establish John McCain’s public image on Veterans using campaign video from his 2008 presidential run. If you don’t want to watch it, I don’t blame you, I could only stomach about 45 seconds of it myself, it is a collection of jingoistic claptrap set to fetishistic images of war porn and Unitedstatesian regalia.

Now that…

John McCain’s Long Career Of Sleazy Lies, Semi-Affairs & Total Corruption by Ken Layne

This whole “presumptive nominee” thing must be serious, because the New York Times just dumped a million-word “investigative report” on how John McCain is the sleaziest sack of scum since, uh, all the other Republicans who already dropped out of the race. Also: Did he have a Dirty Sex Affair with some lobbyist broad who looks suspiciously like his current wife? Let’s find out!

Under a grainy…

John McCain and the New Fascism by Terry Woods

Blatantly calling for a New Fascism in his Wisconsin acceptance speech, John McCain declared Tuesday night that, “we must re-think and re-build the structure and mission of our military, the capabilities of our intelligence and law enforcement agencies, the purposes of our alliances, the reach and scope of our democracy, the capacity of all branches of government to defend us.”

At first blush,…

Prologue 0.03 – Cold, Stale Air

“Yoo hoo. Hey. Are you there? Hello?” Tachie’s interior voice sounded clearer than over the radio, but it was still over-modulated because of too much power being put through the processor and speakers.

Uencial opened his eyes to complete darkness. The cushions had deflated and he was no longer cocooned in place, but judging by the stiffness he was feeling, it had been several more hours since he…

Prologue 0.02 — A Symbiotic Relationship

Teaser 2

Uencial had already been passed out for the better part of sixteen hours. The sounds of the engines cycling were enough to rouse him after it occurred to him that if they were powering up, it would mean the ship was going to be jumping to hyperspace and he was not giving the order.

He paused for a bit before opening his eyes, hoping that he was just dreaming or the engines would shut…

Prologue .01 – The Anomaly Frankenship

Here is the first teaser for a science fiction epic that I’ve been outlining. I have several narrative strands in minds, so my goal is to create something that can foster a universe where they can all co-exist. I have a central premise I’m working under, but it needs more refining and I’m still working on bringing together about a dozen narrative strands I want to put into the fabula. This teaser…

So far, it appears possible, albeit shady, that someone could claim AJ's civil rights were violated using some of #TheResistance's own rhetoric.

How could they have been so myopic as to not foresee that reaction?

This is one of those moments in history where we get to say, "Huh, it all started with them THINKING they doing the opposite of what actually happened."

Future historians will have a hard time believing it really happened as it has.

What is *UP*? – How Fast does Your Part of the Planet Spin?

Growing up, while stargazing or watching the sun rise or set, I remember the experiences as something to behold but never having any sense of connection to them.

In other words, I never felt like I was standing on a round, spinning ball spiraling through space trapped in the gravity-well and within the coma of a helio-nucleic comet traveling through unknown stellar media.My point of view was…

Smart People DON’T Advocate War — Even with Russia

Yesterday morning, atypically, I found myself watching the press conference in Helsinki after Trump and Putin’s meeting.

I’ve made it a habit to avoid the mainstream news sources when big “events” happen with the Trump character, but I do still follow twitter via tweetdeck in order to keep an eye on language being used, hashtags being kicked about, and just generally to see the overall mood at…
