Chances are either you or someone you know has a pet. They’re cuddly, warm, comforting, and even utilitarian. But why do we have them? When was it that a person decided, “you know what? I am going to keep this dog?” Was the decision originally purely utilitarian, or was there more at play in theContinue reading “Why Do We Have Pets?”

A Look at Our Space
By examining our universe, we humans have learned some pretty interesting things. For example, we know that the universe we live in is about 13.8 billion (that’s 13,800,000,000) years old from measuring microwave background radiation in space. To put into perspective this amount of time, we can only trace modern human history back around 12,000Continue reading “A Look at Our Space”
Uniquely Human Behaviors: Part Three
Not everything that is unique to the human race is a positive. Alteration of our natural environments may be the first thing that comes to mind with this statement. However, this is not a uniquely human behavior. Granted, no species has had the same effect that humanity has had, with our production of plastics, abundantContinue reading “Uniquely Human Behaviors: Part Three”
Uniquely Human Behaviors: Part Two
I’ve already discussed the unique behaviors of humanity once, with the focus on our use of plants in ways that no other species on earth does. The intentional planting and harvesting of these plants isn’t our claim to fame, as many species of ants also do this. For an action to be uniquely human, inContinue reading “Uniquely Human Behaviors: Part Two”
Uniquely Human Behaviors: Part One
Many of the things which we may think are activities only humans participate in are not ours alone. War, animal husbandry, and agriculture are all activities that many species of ants have as staples of their societies. No, the things that are most uniquely human are not strictly for survival in the ways that foodContinue reading “Uniquely Human Behaviors: Part One”

The book is now officially available. Thanks for all of your support along this journey! I’ve worked very hard to get here. As have many others. My spouse sacrificed a ton of time and energy to ensure my book looked it’s best. I couldn’t have done it without her. And now you all can readContinue reading “UNITY: The Lost Conduit”
Get Your Copy of UNITY
It’s happening! My book is coming out on October 31, 2020. While 2020 hasn’t been the best of years, what with all the calamity going on, it has given me the time I needed to complete a number of projects. In March, I released a book called the Book of Lore. And now, I’m releasingContinue reading “Get Your Copy of UNITY”
Making Unity Outworld
I’ve been working on a book since November 2018 that has gone by many names. It’s a science fiction epic following the actions of a group of outcasts living in a transhumanist duopoly far off at the edge of the galaxy. It’s gone through many revisions, and name changes over the last 2 years. FirstContinue reading “Making Unity Outworld”
Getting to Know A.C. Moore
To quote a great Mandalorian from a mediocre film, “I’m just a simple man trying to make his way in the Universe.” But Jango Fett aside, that’s really what I think. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been telling stories. Not like what you’d expect from a young child, what with the spinningContinue reading “Getting to Know A.C. Moore”
The Road to Hell
It is oft times said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. This statement is one I have heard most often used when someone is attempting to convince themselves that they shouldn’t pursue a goal or desire they have, even though it is good. What sort of discouragement is meant by thisContinue reading “The Road to Hell”
