Tony hated this. The messiness. He preferred contracts, paper, clear delineations. That was what really made his world spin. Now this prospect wanted to meet in a more casual setting – that’s “just how they do business”. It weirded him out. Immensely. He sighed a heavy sigh of trepidation as he moved out of the [...]

Interstellar Language Lesson
By admin in WordplayThere were way too many languages to know. His head hurt. Bad. He felt that pushing the envelope, here with his textbook splayed out in front of him, might have been a bad idea. In fact, he felt as though he was going crazy in a bout fifteen different languages, and half of a sixteenth. [...]

What’s Right in 2012
By admin in The Missing Person, WordplayThe last band I was in I abandoned somewhat. That’s not entirely true. I gave my two weeks. I think. Two years later, I think about what I left behind, and it’s not all that sad. Sometimes, it seems that there is no real way forward in certain avenues, and that all possibilities are exhausted. [...]

Growing up, growing good
By admin in TechDates, WordplayWe are surrounded by a deluge of technology in the tech arena. Some developers are good at some things. Some at others.

Here comes the Pain
By admin in TechDates, The Missing Person, WordplayThe hills have been alive with the curses and complaints of internet enthusiasts everywhere in the United States. The MPAA, RIAA, and any other media-related acronym have been properly vilified in nearly every public forum available.

Fictional Scream
By admin in WordplayOn the past two weeks, I’ve been on a literary tear, putting down “Ender’s Game” and “Fight Club” in a matter of days each. I am, I think, in search of writing styles to influence my own recent foray into creating fiction. Most of the time I spent reading previous to the past two weeks [...]
