Hello, anyone landing here from Derek Sivers and his nownownow.com site. I have nothing to sell you—no Patreon, no social media links, no stupid podcast, no horrible linktr.ee page, and nothing whatsoever to do with AI or cryptocurrency. Not even an awful bio filled with accomplishments that mean nothing to anyone. Sorry! Just enjoy or endure whatever I write on this website for free.

Current Reading
Wrapping up The End of Eternity, the “last” in the in-universe timeline of Asimov’s Robot/Foundation series. “Last” is in spooky mysterious scare quotes because most of the book (so far as I have read) takes place in outside of the normal pace of time as it follows timeline adjusters who tinker with the Asimov’s timeline to make things right.
I wanted to have had finished Asimov’s things earlier, but my schedule didn’t allow. I still plan on hitting up Old Testament Survey: The Message, Form, and Background of the Old Testament after.
In my Bible read-through, I’m almost at the end of Isaiah currently.
Current Writing
Still working, very slowly, on the follow up to Pale Blue Scratch. I now expect to finish a rough first draft by the end of this summer, at the latest.
Other than that, still doing blog posts here, and some short story outlining and ideation on the side.
Miscellaneous
Daughter of Jay finished up her last musical of her high school career, and is getting ready for prom and graduation. Son of Jay has been hitting the gym with me on the weekends and is doing pretty good, all things considered.
The day job has been a beast and a half, but it’s slowly easing up. Days are getting hotter and longer, and I’ve been noticing this one woman pace back and forth the block outside the coffeeshop I’m writing in now. She must have slid past about a few dozen times already. I think she’s talking to someone via earbuds, but her head is focused on the ground. I want to believe she is an alien looking for the keys to her spaceship. Good luck, extraterrestrial lady.
