I’m making it official: a new edition of Microscope is in the works. I’ve looked in my crystal ball, laid out my schedule, and set crowdfunding for October. If you’ve been following this blog, you know I’ve been working on improvements for Microscope for a few years now. Because I love it but I...

The solitary is the bearer of the future, of that which is not yet born, of the mystery which lies beyond the circle of lamplight or the edge of the known world. There are some who make raids into this unknown world of mystery and who come back bearing artefacts. These are the creative artists,...

For the first time ever Mortal Kombat Warriors battle with DC Universe Super Heroes in Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. Back in 2013 when I was still living in the UK and got my Xbox 360 S with Kinect, which I don’t have any more as I gave it to my niece along with the torch of Hero of...

Says who? Says me. Worked as applied research engineer for two years. Been told Claude writes better code than me, been told I suck at engineering and what not. Then I realize how much of it is politics and less about sucking. I think the pressure to perform is very annoying these days, especially...

There is a quiet milestone in many relationships when both people can gently admit that they sometimes annoy each other. This honest admission, when spoken with kindness, does not weaken love. It often deepens it

So, where have I been? Two of my poems were published in Mouthful of Salt's Spring 2026: Savory issue. These are my first publications since getting back into writing and I am hoping to continue revising my other drafts to shop around for the latter half of the year. The rest of the issue is also...

On the scale of stupid things the US government is doing this is pretty small, but they appear to be banning the census bureau from any effective methods of privacy-preserving information release, and in particular from adding noise to their data to help create differential privacy...

En Montevideo encontré la ausencia de una librería que durante años fue más que un lugar de libros. Una reflexión sobre la memoria, los espacios culturales y esos rincones donde una ciudad conserva parte de su identidad.

We recently read a story from the October 1956 issue of Infinity by Harlan Ellison, and I noticed that advertised on the cover of the issue is a story by Damon Knight I have not read. So let's read it! And two other stories Knight published in the same period. We've already read a bunch of...

Who amongst you actually believed I would finish out June with a scary She-Beast?

Dynamic Dick Briefer returns to THOIA now, delivering his...

I honestly hate Donny, even though I’ve never met him. Sometimes he appears in my dreams, not as a person but as a bloodshot streak of emotion. “My mother says hi, by the way.”

Short and Bittersweet I played a lot of short games this month, games that could be beaten in under and hour. And I also played much longer games, like Persona and Tsukihime. I had much to say about the latter, and almost included them in this post. But they deserve their own. A Hint of Purple —...

Intro There are many reasons I’m glad that I’ve born in Adana but a more recent one is that what Europe and this part of Turkey calls heat waves are the regular summer weather in Adana. Which means I’m prepared to deal with this weather both physically and mentally. The number one rule to...

I expected bats in the countryside. I did not expect bats (yes, plural) in the house on consecutive days. Yet here we are. We had a heatwave last week, which meant we left windows wide open at night to cool the house off. One flaw in that approach: our property is bordered by a stream and...

Most businesses should not start with a grand AI transformation plan. They should start with one boring workflow. That sounds less exciting than “deploying an AI workforce,” but it is usually the difference between an agent your team trusts and an expensive demo nobody uses after week one. I keep...
