What would you do if you were just casually walking home from work and you saw a 10-foot tall robot statue that most definitely had not been there the day before? Maybe not even the hour before. Probably pull out your phone and take a picture, maybe open up Snapchat or Instagram....
The Tragedy of Lily Spectre Once upon a time there was a lonely ghost who fell in love with an incompetent scientist. Before she was a ghost she was a sophisticated young lady named Lily Spectre. The irony of the name is not lost on me, dear reader, but this...
Halloween is one of my favorite, if not my definite favorite, holidays. Weirdly it’s been kind of depressing these past two years because of been away and I usually celebrate Halloween with my best friend. Since I’m living in Boulder and she’s living in Florida (I’m gonna steal her one...
What’s your relationship to time and time management? Mine is…okay, but I’m one of those people who sees a schedule as a bit of a suggestion rather than a requirement. As a creative person myself, this article was a nice read, check it out if you too are looking for...
This is not an original idea by any means. I don't know how many people, writers, whoever, have advised "Don't throw out your old drafts/ideas/novels" ...etc. People who are probably more qualified than me to give advice, but whatever, I am only speaking from experience. So, there's this thing I...
Disclaimer: I’m a writer, not a scientist, but I try. There are at least 200 billion stars in our galaxy. Can you even wrap your head around that number? I can’t. I go outside at night and watch the few that are visible through the Disney-Area light pollution. There’s Orion, easy to find....

I am in this class on comic and graphic novels. If you don’t know the difference between the two here it is: A comic is serialized storytelling, usually without a definitive ending. A graphic novel is self-contained, like a novel, but…graphic. There are also limited series comics that only run...
I had been meaning to replay Device 6 for a long time, but I never had the time. Of course, when I got the idea to write an article about it I suddenly had an excuse, which was great news for me. Device 6 is a game by Simogo, exclusively...
I believe in mountains. There. I said it. It’s a little hard not to living in Boulder. My friend and I actually have a running joke that we’re living in Night Vale, it’s a long story, maybe later. Let me back up a second. So, maybe you have heard of...
You know how little ads sometimes pop up on Facebook that tell you about fascinating attractions that you’ll probably never end up visiting? Yeah, those. So, I saw one of those, maybe you have too, with people walking into a refrigerator, sliding into a washing machine, climbing into a fireplace....
