Your eyes do not deceive you. That is a 1 to 1 scale O’Neill Cylinder, in VRChat. So staggering is the scale that initially I assumed most of it was simply a skybox or something. I also assumed only the ground level where you spawn would be accessible as I’ve…

In the prior installment of this series we looked at products of the American educational system (although to be fair many were likely homeschooled) who believed that relying entirely on supernatural protection from a virus was more sensible than public health measures like masking and vaccination. Jesus is apparently not…

There is no “winning” internet arguments. The closest thing to a win condition I’ve ever seen is that the other guy simply has nothing to say, and disappears. I confess, I have wasted far too much time honing this craft, but I’ve discovered some very curious expressions of human psychology…

Ghosts aren’t something you see or hear, but something you feel. It’s not what’s there. It’s what you expect to be there, that isn’t. I didn’t fully understand until my first pet died. My father brought home Lizzie when I was only just old enough to walk. I don’t remember…

I’ve been thinking about this for several months now, deliberating over whether or not to publish this information. After seeing how the opposition persists in self-destruction despite every effort to change their mind, I’ve realized they’re so stubbornly set in their course that knowing about this plan won’t change it. …

Travel blogs are played out. Dime a dozen these days. But what about a travel blog by someone touring the virtual world? Taking photos along the way to share with you, showcasing the astounding vistas to be found only at the intersection of silicon and human imagination. I’ll be your…
