Battle For The Net
If you woke up tomorrow, and your internet looked like this, what would you do? Imagine all your favorite websites taking forever to load, while you get annoying notifications from your ISP suggesting you switch to one of their approved “Fast Lane” sites.Think about what we would lose: all the weird, alternative, interesting, and enlightening…

Quick WordKeeperAlpha Update
I haven't been doing much work on WKA lately, mostly because this build seems pretty stable for the time being. Analytics say that I've got a fair amount of users now, at least compared to the last version, whick makes me pretty happy. Honestly, I am really happy with how things are working now. It…

Why the “Open Letters to Jennifer Lawrence” are bull.
Some people are going to have an issue with the things I’m going to say here…buuuuuut I’m willing to run that risk. Recently, various celebrities had their cloud accounts hacked and naked pictures of themselves leaked. That’s the crime. Period. Full stop. End of story. Among them is Jennifer Lawrence, an absolutely (from what I…

The Dragon That Can’t be Fought
With the demise of Borders, the battle of eBooks is one that is primarily fought between Barnes and Nobles and Amazon. I won’t discount Kobo, Sony or Apple, but in my mind they are three minor players in this particular battle. For my own part, I have a Kindle. I’ve had one for roughly three…

WordKeeperAlpha Updates
Hey, everyone! I thought I’d pop on to let you know what’s been going on with WordKeeperAlpha since I went live a couple weeks ago. I’ll admit, I probably got a little overexcited wanting to get it out and live in the real (digital) world. There were some unfinished, unpolished bits, a few more bugs…

Tropes Vs. Women in Video games deserves your respect
Every time Anita Sarkeesian, creator of Feminist Frequency and Tropes Vs. Women in Video Games, comes out with a new video in her series, I feel like I need to write a post because the same thing happens every time. Before we get going into this I’m going to set the tone. Do I agree…

WordKeeperAlpha is live!
Well, I'm rather sick of coding in my off hours now, but WordKeeperAlpha is pretty much fully functional and working for everyone, not just me. Just about the only thing lacking at this point is the tutorial… so … yeah. That's next on my to do list. Really though, now that its up and working…

August: The month of where I guess I don’t write
Granted, its been a very mild summer, but August is still a helluva reason to keep inside. Which is good! I don’t write or code very well outside. Trust me, I’ve considered it, even tried it a time or two but it just doesn’t work out well. The glare on the iPad impairs writing, or…

WordKeeperAlpha Update: Where its been and where its going.
Its been a while since I posted anything specific on WordKeeperAlpha, so I thought I’d update everyone on exactly how its going and how far away 2.0 is. During the course of development last week I noticed that I had ten more users than I had previously noted which is both encouraging and disappointing. Encouraging…

Wildstar: Totally not addicting.
I don’t actually want to write a post tonight. I don’t want to write anything tonight. What I want to do is play some more Wildstar. Man… I knew that game was going to be trouble when I saw the first trailers for it. If you don’t know anything about it, check this out. Its like…
