Dear Friends of the Internet, I write to you with the utmost concern for the mental well-being of the tech CEOs, as they have most definitely lost their marbles. This week, I had to cancel a real meeting with an animated AI chatbot. Let that sink in. My employer has…

February 5, 2026

Bear with me, this story is a tiny bit gross, but I’ll do my best to deliver it in the most digestible way possible. Pun somewhat intended. The year was 2002. I was barely out of high school, people weren’t yet ashamed of Nickelback, and 6 and 7 were nothing…

My Wife’s Gaslighting Led To Me Believing In Ghosts

January 21, 2026

I would love to say this is in some way satire, but alas, it is not. For it’s no longer the warm embrace of my wife’s arms that comforts me at night, but instead the chilling grip of knowledge that ghosts dwell in my home that keeps me awake. That,…

Halloween came and went, and I did not crack. Christmas came with all its dessert glory, chocolates and wine, and I did not falter. My workplace stocked up on Wagonwheel biscuits in the snack cabinet, and my resolve shattered like a single glass pane against a Wayne Gretzky slapshot. Lord…

January 4, 2026

With 2026 sweeping its predecessor out the door, the winds of change bring along with it opportunity for improvement. Some people choose fitness, some people choose diet, but I went with an impulse and changed my ringtone. There’s something to be said about ‘instant gratification’. While it’s not a great…

When was the last time you had a face-to-face conversation with a friend who’s active on Facebook but don’t talk to regularly? How did that conversation go? Did you find that you knew just about everything they had to say that was ‘new’ in their lives? Yeah, I’ve been there…

‘Christmas’ – by Amazon.

December 7, 2025

Holiday shopping traditionally looked like busy malls and shops, cramped parking lots, and bus drivers waving angry fists out of driver side windows. Snow filled the sidewalks, but tire tracks kept the streets somewhat plowed for the entire month of December. Does that scene sound familiar? If so, chances are…

November 27, 2025

Have you ever noticed that when you take a vacation, the first half always feels different than the second half? The start is always fun and exciting, maybe kicking off with a drink or an excited cab ride to the airport. The second half though, that always hits different. I…

Are Online Game Community Guidelines Doing More Damage?

Published by

September 29, 2025

Here’s a weird take on this. One of the many rules every online game platform shares is verbal/textual conduct. No swearing, racist or homophobic slurs, among other platform-specific syntax ruling. This is usually governed by automated systems that have word lists that ban users when the trigger words are detected.…

The Corporate “They” Problem

September 9, 2025

You’ve heard it before. The same sentence that derails your ideas, denies your requests, and shuts down your inquiries in the work place. “They wouldn’t want us doing that.” Most people will accept this and don’t probe any further. I used to be one of those people, but age and…
