Edge of Empowerment
Power is defined every bit as much by what it can’t achieve as what it can achieve. Even an indestructable man can’t save himself from drowning, even a walking god can’t reverse death. Omnipotence is a contradiction, a rock made…

EverEnding DevBlog 95: Distance
I’m starting to recover a bit of energy, though the unseasonal coolness I’ve been enjoying for the past week is supposed to end tomorrow so we’ll see how that lasts. I’ve cut a few distractions out from my daily routine…
Fear and Forgetfulness
I just realized at 10:20am that I’d been meaning to have something up at 10:00am. Oops! I’ve been, for the last little while, in a state of slightly frantic energy with no particular direction to vent it in. My brain…
EverEnding DevBlog 94: Inclemency
Not a great week. I thought my energy would pick up as the weather cooled off a bit, but if anything it’s been the opposite, where I’ve been feeling weirder and more out of sorts as the temperature drops from…

EverEnding DevBlog 92: Arrangements
I think I’m going to start posting writing every Wednesday. It’s taking forever to finish the piece I’ve been working on, and to be honest I’ve slowed down a lot on it – even if I was working on it…
EverEnding DevBlog 91: Delayed
Sorry this one is going up late. The last few days have been pretty busy. Good busy, since I was hanging out with family, but busy. I still got a thing done here and there, though. I fixed all of…
EverEnding DevBlog 90: Relax
It sucks to do these updates when I don’t have a lot to say, but so it goes. I heard this week that the average productivity of a professional programmer is 10 lines of code a day, so I’m at…
