If you’ve ever noticed the email link in our sidebar for contacting us without leaving a comment on a post, it gives you the email address dnifriend at yahoo. Over the years, only one person has asked if that’s a reference to Cyan Worlds and their classic Myst games. Yes, it is. Thank you for asking. The D’ni are the ancient people of those stories.

I mention it today because I found the Internet Archive of a site I designed, wrote most of the content for, and collected the rest of it. It was called Rawa’s Home, a tribute to Richard Watson of Cyan Worlds. I probably still have all of the files for that site, but I can’t say at the moment. I need to do more new stuff.

I have a right to engage you.” And they were like, “Oh, yeah, I guess that’s true.”

It’s horrifying to see people vandalizing the streets en masse (there’s a video) and equally horrifying to realize some politicians defend them.

And on the radio, I’m hearing people are aborting their children because they want a boy instead of a girl! Dear God! Who defends this?!
