In 2022 I lost years worth of unpublished writing. Now, living in Cancun, in my own sort of monk-like retreat, I have cracked open the corrupted file that once held my hopes and dreams of a future earning a living as a writer. Not everything is there, not everything is complete, and what remains is […]

Ned, on the other hand, couldn’t help but wonder if he should correct Siemens’s misquotation of Einstein’s famous phrase about […]

Some have chosen to link the NFT’s […]
It was January 2020 when I first heard that NFTs might soon become possible on the Stellar network. Most people understood that NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, were going to be important for personal identification, medical records, and ownership of real-world items. Personally, I had hoped to issue Kindle-like digital books as NFTs and found Ethereum’s […]
Dr. Aldo Betta stared at the glass enclosure where the cockroach moved with deliberate precision across a small branch. Delicate circuitry glinted on its carapace under the laboratory lights, a marvel of bioengineering barely the size of an SD card. The device represented years of painstaking work, the culmination of his research into neural interfaces. […]
The wizard climbed to the top of the rocky bluff overlooking the seaside village far below. If his calculations were right, this would be the place. He stood straight, raised his arms to either side and brought them together in front of him, holding the mighty staff in both hands. He watched the setting sun […]
