Here's a somewhat long post about my overly long journey to get new pants for work. Give it a chance, you might relate it it.

It's weird to be alone in a public space. I don't mean alone in a crowd, but that's weird too. I mean alone in a public place, like where you work

A simple chart can be a beautiful thing. Especially if it proves something you've been trying to say all along and saves your butt. Or even for other things.

Welcome to 13 years of weekly posts. This is a long one as I take a look back at 2025, the good, bad, and a third thing!

Happy New Year! What is a resolution and why do we make them this time of year? I don't know, here's a post about things I need to do better.

It's Christmas, but more than that, it's Thursday so you get a weekly post from me. This one is all about looking into the future as if I have any chance of getting a single thing right.

I'm still in a losing war with Daylight Saving Time, but while we all suffer together, I've been thinking about how I spend my dark evenings.

I hope you're more prepared for your holiday plans than I am!

I think a lot of people struggle with staying in touch with friends. Or, maybe it's just me and my friends?

In case you didn't already hear about it, I had two stories published. Those books are out, so here some info about them!

A 4000% increase in views on my site in a week can only mean one thing.

I have something like 7 vacation days to take in the next month and I'm not sure how I'll fit them all in and get my work done.

The worst part about finally getting something done is that, most of the time, you'll have to do it again, so it's never really done.

Have you ever read or watched something that no one else remembers? What about something that only a few people ever experienced?

With two short stories published and a novel rejected by over a dozen publishers, I'm basically an expert and you should take my advice.

We used to have a monoculture, where most people would take part in shared cultural experiences. Now, people can't even agree on what's actually true.

I might be living in the future, but I still don't know what's going on.

I'm a little early for this topic, but I hate it so much that even knowing it'll be here soon, all I can think about is how terrible Daylight Saving Time is.

Did I get a little overly philosophical this week? Maybe. You be the judge.

Some things are easier said than done.

The Kickstarter for this Anthology has already meet the minimum goal, but look at those stretch goals!

This week, read as Ben tries to figure out what it happening in real time. Exciting.

I swear this post isn't just a veiled sales pitch for the collection with my first sold story, but you can also buy the collection with my first sold story now!

Nothing lasts forever and that can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you look at it.

I recently had my precious routine interrupted due to the day job, and I'm still trying to recover.

I write about music, or my experience with music, a lot. It's something that impacts my daily life and my writing, so it's often on my mind.

I really hope I'm not jinxing myself, but I'm excited and a little relived.

Everyone hates being sick. I'm no different. It's just a cold, but that doesn't make it any more fun.

I'm back from my trip and it was great, but now there's all the stuff I have to catch up on because I had the nerve to have fun.

Bad things happen and that's sad, but good things happen too. That doesn't eliminate the sad, but it's better than nothing.

AI is weird because it's simultaneously a bigger threat than most people realize and not as big a deal as some people try to make it out to be.

To this day I'm surprised how much I use arts and crafts from grade school in my daily life.

There are a lot of really cool things going on in my community in the next few weeks and I'm probably not going to any of them!

It's been a year, so here's another short little post for my birthday.

Nothing is in stone, but I have some near future plans which will be something to look forward to!

The Kickstarter for the Anthology Series I have a story in has reached its goal, but you still have time to order copies of all four books at the Kickstarter prices. Plus, there are stretch goals, so you could get even more for your money!

Sometimes my head is just too full, and not full of good things like pizza, not that you'd want pizza in your brain.

Big announcement that I've been itching to share and actually already did last week. But here you'll get to read some actual info!

It was nice to have a few exciting weeks of going to events, but it's almost nicer to get back to boring routine. As long as I take advantage of it.

Shock Stock is this weekend and you'll find me there, somewhere, maybe in way over my head, but probably having fun. Plus, I'll have books for sale.

It's easy to get overwhelmed at work, especially when things are changing. That's all. No but.

If we take a step back, and I don't always recommend it, we can see just how reliant we are on other people in so many aspects of our lives. I know, I don't like it either.

You ever been tired, but then something happens and you're more tired, and it keeps going and you feel like you'll never not be tired again?

It's been a while, but I have a couple of events to look forward to in April. That means you also have a couple of events to look forward to!

Maybe I'm over thinking things, but I tend to think I have a pretty good attention span, until I don't.

We can pretend that money doesn't play a big part in our lives, but it's hard to argue against it.

I'm in a very risky place emotionally right now. You'll have to read on if you'd like to know more.

I don't know why I'm so fascinated with the concept of triage. It's so basic and useful.

Another post on a similar topic to the last few weeks. I think that's called a trend.

I like to think I'm not alone in having a long list of things to do that just seems to keep growing without end even when I managed to get some of it done there always seems to me more on the list...
