This open letter and touching memoir was written by my friend Washington Sean after listening to my recent ramblings about Trichotomy and anticipated territorial skirmishes over an imagined inter-dimensional bridge where piles of soul bound tokens might be held in the future, inert digital golems awaiting the spirits of inbound travelers. My birthday is later […]

I did an impromptu live today trying to sort through issues around communication of complex ideas, navigating information streams, and collective thought fields. It’s a bit late, so I don’t have the wherewithall to summarize at the moment, but here are the papers referenced if you want to explore them. My testimony at the Philadelphia […]

Tomorrow (well today, since I’m ten minutes late in getting this posted) is Thanksgiving in the United States. I’ve had mixed feelings about it since the February 2017 raid on Standing Rock where Regina Brave made her treaty stand. After watching MRAPs coming down a muddy, snowy hill to confront a Lakota grandmother and Navy […]

After a month hiatus, I’m back east for the winter. Last night we streamed the second part of “Do You Want To Play A Game,” which explores the psycho-geography of gamified bio-hybrid relational computing. Check out the CV of Michael Mateas, a professor in computing and game science at UC Santa Cruz, for links about […]

I’m tying up loose ends before my upcoming road trip, so I don’t have time to do anything more that share the links to two streams I did yesterday with their associated maps. There is one more pre-recorded stream tonight at 8pm Eastern on the role of AI in immersive drama and video games.   […]

Jason and I will be hitting the road to explore Arkansas in a few days. We’ll be away until the end of the month scouting potential landing spots for the next chapter in my life. Over the course of the last 48 hours, I’ve had many interconnected realizations; or if not fully new realizations, then […]

This morning I received a response to my latest blog post, a piece I’d written about grief and family separation and controlled consciousness along with a description of site visits I did in Durham, NC related to military gaming simulations, neuroscience, and psychical research. It was sent by someone I know from my education activism […]

What follows is a day-long outpouring of emotion. I’ve been back in Philadelphia for five days, and it felt like the right time to begin to process and document the past two weeks, the synchronicities and the heartache, before the memories fade into oblivion. My gut tells me these experiences hold life lessons, especially the […]

My dad left behind his dementia and this world last Friday, September 1, 2023. I was with him through the night and into the morning when he passed. I love him so much. This is my eulogy for him that I’ll be reading on Saturday. What I will always remember about my dad was his […]

Before this week, nineteen years had passed since my last job interview. It’s an odd feeling to rebuild a life. My first attempt was to try something completely different in a new place, but after a few weeks it was clear that was not my fate. So, I returned to Philadelphia for a tear down […]
