for Zelda's 25th anniversary we got Skyward Sword on the Wii for Zelda's 30th anniversary we got Skyward Sword on the Wii U for Zelda's 35th anniversary we got Skyward Sword on the Switch can't wait to see what version of Skyward Sword we're getting this year

Looking at Nintendo… you’re gonna do the same for Zelda. Right?

Setting aside the horrors, the final insult from the boomers will be dismantling the machine that produced American financial exceptionalism because if they cannot take it with them into death like the pharaohs, then they'll ensure no one can have it.

Rough draft done! Now onto revisions. Can’t wait for everyone to see where book two of Vampire Detective Agency takes our fearless investigators. #weeknightwriters #indieauthor

It’s crushing to see on how many fronts all the things I care about are under assault. Art, kindness, compassion, truth, competence, integrity, honor, literacy. I’m trying to think of some core facet of life that I believe in, that I hold dear, that I live for, that isn’t in peril.

I'm sure I'm one of the last people to share this, but I loved this video about unlikely new friendships and the art & soul of photography: youtu.be/BDi1hjH8oEs?...

So sad to see James Van Der Beek die so young. He was so good in Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23. That show deserved way more than two seasons

AI is sold as if it’s going to make our lives better but all it seems to do is steal the lives we have and want. Less an opportunity and more an intruder. “You know all those things you already do fine and maybe even like doing? YEAH NOW AI’S DOING THAT, DIPSHIT. ISN’T THAT AWESOME? NO? SHUT UP.”

After 40 years of publishing, Harlequin will end its iconic historical romance line in 2027: #Booksky

The headlines may have gotten distracted, but the violence, brutality, and lack of accountability have persisted within our community. Minnesota is still under occupation.

3k words. Two chapters down. Two chapters remain. Then the rough draft will be done. (Vampire Detective Agency: Double Date) This is my least favorite part of writing a book. I love revising, reworking, and tweaking stuff. I hate looking at a blank screen. #weeknightwriters #indieauthor

~4k words down on the page. Tonight's big break thru was a quiet moment between the main characters where they finally found the way to tell each other how they feel. My plan was a brasher tone, but the characters were quieter when the words came. #WeeknightWriters #indieauthor

"Line must go up every quarter," is eating humanity alive.

My company has instituted Windows Passkey. So far it hasn't worked for anyone and we're all being slowly fucked as it locks us out of systems. The IT department swears everything is working as intended. I await the full scale panic that is coming Friday when the legacy sign on system is shut down.

Still not sure I see how an Xbox PC works for MS. I feel like the core gamers who buy games will flip over to Steam, buy their discounted games, and MS will never see a penny from gamers after the console sale.

While I've since posted videos with a more in-depth explanation as to why this happens, this video from 2022 is still one of my most-viewed posts about impeller washing machines and how they function! #laundry #WashingMachine #impeller #ImpellerWashingMachine #WomenInTrades

Almost done with the rough draft of my second Vampire Detective Agency book, and I’m ready to talk about it today. Not only that, but I’ve got the first book on sale for 99¢ as well. Seemed fitting given that Valentine’s Day is coming up. #booksky #paranormal #romance #indieauthor

Four very different "street' #photography snaps from the #Portland Waterfront area. Taken on a Sony A7C2.

“If I can generate a book in a day, and you need six months to write a book, who’s going to win the race?” God this is bleak

Downtown #Portland at the Winter Lights #Festival. #Photograhpy shot on a Sony A7C2 with a Petzval 55 f/1.7 MKII. Not gonna lie, as impressive as this big boy was, I miss the fire breathing dragon from last year.

A year ago we released Tapestry - a beautiful, easy way to read your news, RSS, social feeds & more. We wanted to say thank you to everyone who's renewed their annual subscriptions. We know you have many App Store choices, & subs, so thx for choosing Tapestry. 🫶 apps.apple.com/app/tapestry...

Hello #WeeknightWriters! Come on in, introduce yourself and your WIP, and let us know how your writing week is going! Or not going, that's valid too

Say what you want about the games shown during this Nintendo Direct Partner event, I love how quickly Nintendo puts up individual trailers on their YouTube channel.

Headline of the day

Is there a website or tool to help you identify what kind of film or film simulation that someone is using? I’ve been seeing pictures posted from MN by this one photographer with a Leica camera but I can’t figure out if its a film, sim, or Lightroom preset. #photography

Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

hey remember when I got shit on for years for trying to warn people that GamerGate was just Nazis and not just about harassing women and not just about some “consumer revolt”

Trying out some #BookBubs ads. Been playing with the layout and what not. So far I haven’t had anything that gets clicked on at a rate that makes paying for ads worth it. #booksky #indieauthor

Six years since the pandemic started and people still don't know how to setup meetings where participants are auto-muted.

Another ~2,700 words tonight. Eight chapters left before the rough draft of Vampire Detective Agency: Double Date is finished. Got some pacing issues to address, lots of details to flesh out, and all the polish... but I think the bones of the book are in a good place. #booksky #indieauthor

Oh, apparently I was following Neil Gaiman on here. Fixed that right quick, but apologies to anyone who thought I was hashtag team Neil. Screw that guy.

Currently trying out BookBub ads. Zero clicks across three different ad setups. I'm available for consultation if someone wants to craft an ad that literally no one clicks on.

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs) Good tech. Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales) Bad tech.

i am very much of the view that undermining the court’s secrecy is a necessary part of remaking it into something like an actual court (and not some guardian council) www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...

I’m guilty of it myself, but I’m starting to think that maybe comparing Trump admin propaganda to North Korea is unfair to North Korea.

With his savvy release of the Epstein files, Trump is using his pedophilia to distract from his embrace of fascism.

David Bowie got out at the exact perfect time, if you think about it. Can’t believe it was 10 years ago, feels like we’ve been permanently stuck in January 2016. I think the world ended and we’re all in the bad place.

Spent way too long futzing with the series page for Vampire Detective Agency on my website tonight. Some new temporary covers, some new book descriptions. I also improved the layout of individual book pages. Just the fun stuff you get to do as an #indieauthor #booksky

#Writing continues on Vampire Detective Agency: Double Date. Another ~2,800ish words tonight, but I’m only 2/3rds thru my outline. 😆 Clearly I misjudged how long my rough draft would be when done. #booksky #indieauthor

I thought we were past “it’s sweat not blood” levels of ridiculous censorship on Nintendo consoles. I guess not.

Trump’s fundraisers are now using the threat of dispatching ICE against citizens as an email engagement tactic.

Posted my first #blog of the year. Included in between lamentations on the state of America and a sneak peek of my next book? A few mini-reviews of things I read (Grave Witch by Kalayna Price) & played (Ghost of Yōtei by @suckerpunchprod.bsky.social ) this month. Spoiler alert: They were both good!

ICE keeps targeting schools because children are the only people shorter than most ICE agents so they're less threatening than a nurse or a suburban mom

After the Boston Massacre, the soldiers responsible were arrested and received fair trials. King George recalled the regiment to England, and then American leaders were like “good, that was enough, we’ll remain your loyal subjects forever…” wait, that’s not right…

One of my New Years resolutions was to blog more this year, to that end I’ve posted a January update. I don’t have much to share about Vampire Detective Agency: Double Date this month, just a small teaser. I’ll have a lot more to say next month. #booksky #update #blog

You know how some people hope nothing happens to them before a certain film or game comes out so that they can be around to enjoy it? I feel that way but about The Nuremberg Trials 2.0.

We see where Apple stands.
