Sharing the SWSX live stream because when you compare this narrative to the ones of the other platforms, particularly its currently open and free access and personalizing configuration (still unfolding), it becomes clear this is emergent possibility for better and more refined functionality than we’ve managed to see scale successfully. It’s an exciting time. Lots of opportunity. I’ve been yelling since the BBS days about the need to stipulate and protect a concept that is today called ‘protocols’ (that’s another article) as an emergent technology that genuinely can and likely will return personal power and certainly digital dignity (not Lanier’s […]
Track Title: The People
ASCAP Registration #: 929121366 While you live, shine, have no grief at all Life exists only for a short while, and Time demands its due Wake up smiling each and every new day Looking for new paths to make my way Hoping for chances to arrive, come to stay Possibility renewed, come what may It don’t mean life ain’t filled with chaos and strife Just means we’re not willing to accept it for the rest of our life This universe, it exists for all lives within it No favoritism, life gets more than it can deal with The world holds […]
Track Title: The Self-Care Song
ASCAP Registration #: 929073436 Sometimes it feels like the rain always comes our way Sometimes it feels like memories and pain are here to stay No matter how it feels, all things from us pass away This too, shall pass, and things will again be okay We have some tools that can help us keep our peace Use them often to keep focus and make the chaos cease First up, though simple, deceptively misleading Use breath to train the body, send stress receding Easiest programming a human can ever do Anywhere you breathe — this one you can pursue Four […]
Archival: Community Advocacy, March 2025
Occasionally, when I feel I’ve presented my thinking especially well, I will archive the interaction here. Primarily because I believe in having my flowers when I think I deserve them, but also because it’s a convenient way to make my perspective clear. It doesn’t mean I cannot understand other perspectives, but it does mean this is the one I try to live by and with, which is helpful for others to understand. That said, the interaction as it occurred on the Discord channel, where I exist but as a single voice giving my own lived experience and thoughts to those […]
Why I am so frustrated about working…
This image demonstrates the major categories of thinking desired by business and recommended by business management research and analysis: I offer all four across both diverse domains and specifically in technology; application and systems software analysis, design, development, and delivery and still I’ve been out of work since 2017. It is maddening. I cannot access the degrees that this world demands to ‘believe’ you’re good at something, even though I have thirty years, a portfolio of samples from 1999 to roughly 2011 (before the NDA work largely put an end to portfolio demonstrations). No one is interested. Over 5,000 resumes […]
Track Title: As Me (Empathy)
ASCAP Registration # 929069985 You don’t know how it feels, to be living while you act this way You don’t know how it feels, so much contempt each and every day You don’t know how it feels, to see and know you just don’t care But there will come a day when common ground our feet shall bear On that day, it is you who will quickly, surely come to see We’re alike in our existence and our being, in our humanity You see me coming, because I, to you, am different I have stopped running, ‘cuz I am, for […]
The internalization must come out, sometimes.
I don’t have many people around these days who can recognize my value and are willing to articulate it on my behalf. I know what I can do, I like to show people what I can do, but after a point, it just sounds like so much self-absorbed pontificating. I wish I knew the way to get people to just SEE and RECOGNIZE what I am capable of… all this value potential sieving off into nothingness for lack of anyone interested in letting me help them bring something into reality. If I could code, I’d already be the next billionaire […]
Pure Seed: Resilience
zero is not a number but one is. infinity lives between -1, 0, and 1. movement is the reaction regenerative. universal reality is a mesh of fractal fabric. we are a part, never apart. act. breathe. dance. live. move. we walk a path into the stars; as for long and long told by ancients; our only work is to assure the future. snarled in recursion, we must again adapt. it is already happening, the abrasion, it is already happening, the abjuration, this butterfly tsunami on the hill; placid, vacuous smiles, ‘oh, so pretty’. get thee to the library, the local […]
The top of the year, 2025
It seems that 2025 is to be ‘the year of missing’ on many levels. Wait. I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s start again: For many years, I would end each year with a renewal of my commitments and within the first month of the new year, set forth the pattern as it thus far unfolds. From there, as I like and wish, and spottily, I admit. Indeed, 2025 has all the signs of being a year of missing in many ways. Initially, I was somewhat enjoying the return of the wood snake; the sign is generally well received though it […]
