Hitchhiking from Pie Town to Holbrook
Hitchhiked 170 miles from Pie Town, NM to where RT 66 passed through Holbrook, AZ in just under four hours. To me that’s impressive when it’s a three+ hour drive without having to wait for people to pick you up. Time to let the snow melt before I jump back on trail. #hitchhiking #wandering
AZT to CDT via Tombstone, AZ
Hiked into Tombstone to see the OK Coral and Boot Hill Cemetery. Didn’t take enough pictures. Realized that I was going to miss my ride to New Mexico unless I hustled… so I hitchhiked rather than walk the last 30 miles to the train station. #greatday
The Great Cross of Hendaye
An Alchemical Warning in Stone Deep in the town square of Hendaye, in the French Pyrenees near the border with Spain, stands a mysterious monument that has perplexed esoteric scholars for centuries. Known as the Great Cross of Hendaye, this 17th-century stone cross is more than a religious symbol, according to some interpretations, it is […]

Stellar Drones: Chapter 1

Ned, on the other hand, couldn’t help but wonder if he should correct Siemens’s misquotation of Einstein’s famous phrase about […]
Heartbroken in El Charco
After losing a large chunk of unpublished work written over the last ten years, one of the saddest losses of my life, and a huge blow to my potential future income, a hike is exactly what I needed. #itsjustbooks #welcometothejungle #dramaqueen
Adding Value to NFTs on Stellar
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 […]
How to Read NFT Data Entries on Stellar
NFTs on Stellar utilize a Data Entry to hold the IPFS hash or CID for the content being tokenized. Once locked, the NFT’s issuing account will forever point to a single IPFS hash regardless of changes to the token’s toml, which is stored elsewhere and can be modified. Some have chosen to link the NFT’s […]
Doc Roach
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. […]
