current status and todd mcgowan; or: of social media and aliens

Once again, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve blogged. Is that still a thing? Can minutes still have temperature? Or is that just slang of the Olds? For someone who spends as much time on the internet as I do, I am not current on slang among the kiddos. On the other hand, I …

a new hope (in the quiet, not in silence)

What a deceptive title. One, because this post has nothing to do with Star Wars, at least not directly. Two, because the hope I’m thinking of isn’t new in the conventional sense. It’s more of a renewable hope. Or a continually-renewed hope. I sit here in the final minutes of 2016 (it’s literally 5 minutes …
