Making Sense of Molgrons

---

Once, there were Molgrons. They lived on a planet much like ours, and in fact were quite identical to human beings– aside from the fact that their arms and legs were rather tentacles which also spat fire when aroused. Sarah, by a twist of fate not otherwise explained in this narrative, found herself on the [...]

Implicit in the Text

As I walked from my room to eat dinner, I was observing people and noticing that many had their cell phones out. I wondered how many of them were actually communicating with someone, and how many were simply using the phone in their hands to avoid contact with others. This, I think, was the only [...]

Peculiar

---

I slept. And my dreams were of struggles and the clouds of despair that accompany the most dire of failures. I dreamt of futility, and weakness, and a hollow nothingness that remained of the man I used to be. What was peculiar was my desire to sleep, to return, to mend these things, or to [...]

Exposing Thyself: Not the best idea at our age

Hello there, friends. As the title states, this is for my friends who are my age.

John picked up the heavy stein and once again set to pulling the dark amber beer faster than his father alongside him. It was a rich brew, and the aftertaste was just as pleasant as the first sampling, but he could feel himself starting to fail. Taking a moment to breathe, he ran a hand [...]

Be Safe– Please: The Top 4 Computer and Internet Security Flaws

---

I’ve been working in the IT Desktop Support department at my university. What the mainly means is that we troubleshoot all of the campus-owned computers, all of the campus-related internet issues, and basically maintain the technology that flows in and out of the school. Now, I’m definitely an above-average technology user. I’ve known this for [...]

I know it’s been some time since I posted, and I’m sorry about that. Technical difficulties and time constraints have weighed heavily on me lately, but I hope that I can remedy that with some posts in the near future. This could be called the counter-post to “The Benefits of Being Balanced”. While in that [...]
