You're there but not there. You view everything as if from a television, yet everything is there, more real than anything from a lifeless screen. Perhaps you are a ghost. Or perhaps you are another victim, and you have lost your memory along with your life. A monstrosity of a man, a hulking being of flesh that cannot be described as anything human, stands among bodies. All of them are merely torsos,missing their heads, their arms, and their legs. Some of them are wrapped in bandages; ...
Beneath a building, a shopping center if you will, lies a secret. Beyond the walls, circuits and hallways form a labyrinth of echoes and roads of cement and cold concrete, of steel pipes and roaring engines. Surrounded by these behemoths of ancient construction and advanced architecture, there is an elevator, one of LED lights and electronic displays. State of the art. This elevator is used by every employee in store. It is used by only them, to transport them quickly up and down from ...

Archival: So would Lizardfolk kill humans stepping into Athenaeum? >.> Lemonade: The Athenaeum is actually the most peaceful area in Iselyr, right now. Lemonade: It's like a giant spa. Bath houses and the like. Lemonade: A place to exercise one's mind while relaxing one's body, you could say. Archival: Good. I'd like Archival to be an employee there. (Was even thinking of offering to update your current Iselyr map, as scholarly proof.) I hope scrolls aren't affected ...

So there I am... searching for a book to read and upon not finding anything to spark my interest I decide to pluck out one of my favourite novels by Anne Rice. Between my hardcover copies of Pandora and Taltos however happened to be a small book I missed in my search and as I drew Pandora out, it fell to my feet. The ever-curious creature, I bend over to pick it up. A small black book. ...

Tally: 42 Bold are the notable ones or ones I've enjoyed most. Also, though I don't know I can say I've read more than the past decade (particularly because before I used to read a lot of articles for research purposes), but I've read a lot more this year than previous years. Neuromancer Ishmael: An Adventure of the Mind and Spirit The Moon is a Harsh Mistress The Unschooling Manual The Man Who Sold the Moon Do Androids Dream of Electric ...

"We are getting our children through education by anaesthetising them. I think we should be doing the exact opposite. We shouldn't be putting them to sleep. We should be waking them up to what they have inside themselves."
So recently I've discovered the wonders of using Google as my graphing calculator, and for some reason I decided it'd be hilarious to be a nerd and post this shit up in a blog. However I'd assume most of you have already seen something the likes of this, but to continue on with my title... 2*sqrt((-abs(abs(x)-1))*abs(3-abs(x))/((abs(x)-1)*(3-abs(x))))*(1+abs(abs(x)-3)/(abs(x)-3))*sqrt(1-(x/7)^2)+(5+0.97*(abs(x-0.5)+abs(x+0.5))-3*(abs(x-0.75)+abs(x+0.75)))*(1+abs(1-abs(x))/(1-abs(x))), ...

People aren't inherently good or inherently evil, they're inherently lazy. "Bad" is the path of least resistance; it is easier to take someone else's than make your own, easier to destroy than to create. This, however, does not make one or the other the natural tendency of the human animal. Some people are psychopaths, but not all people as a rule of thumb. Some people are saints, but not all people as a rule of thumb. Most people are decent enough in their own unobtrusive ...
I have a hex of incompetence on me that causes me to get viruses (on my computer. Don't be gross..) Give me the best firewall. Lecture me for an hour. Slam my computer with the finest antiviruses and what have you. I'll still get the worst of the worse. For quite some time I've surprisingly been virus-free, but even more recently, Java has been causing me problems, and just now, I had to take care of a nifty little thing called Windows 7 Security Update 2012 or something like that. ...
My stumbling upon a fairly curious conversation this morning got me thinking about the future of mankind. Granted my thoughts and the conversation itself are not at all connected, nevertheless I felt I ought to share this. Relocation to a different planet or at least the exploitation of a different planet's resources are options we are soon to have. Not as soon as my lifetime however, ...
