Greater than Myself
There is something about huge objects that is very intimidating. Even if they are totally dead, or even inorganic, the bulk of a thing has a weight in the mind. Why is that? Part of the effect could stem from … Continue reading
Multiverses and Reasonable Outcomes
There are a lot of stories about “paralell universes” where things are the same, but different. The premise is there are an infinite number of universes (falsely justified by quantum mechanics, but that’s another beef) and therefore anything that you … Continue reading
Magic and technology
I’ve heard in several places that sufficently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Magic and technology extend the power … Continue reading
“The Cat in the Hat”

Gauntlets and the Scottish General
Okay, I’m allowed to plug my own stuff on my blog right? Check out the finished gauntlets! Details and notes are on the captions of the pictures. First off I have to say that there was a bit of prayer … Continue reading
Comedic comparison
Perhaps one of the reasons I like Calvin and Hobbes is that I am so similar to Calvin in almost every way. Continue reading
