When in a stalemate, go write and read...

For those who have been watching the news, this specific case has meant a stay (whether days, weeks, or months) in my job situation for now. Irregardless, I will be heading back to (evening) school in the fall, and have told some folks but not all, particularly those from my most likely former workspace. It’s just not the time and place for reasons I can’t really get into in a public facing…

We interrupt 2025 to say …

I have to think hard about the future as it’s unlikely I’ll find work in the same sector . I’m working out those options but in the meantime … Well it looks like my job has been eliminated unless it’s some weird mistake. (Do I have a story to tell you.) I should have some free time in May (while waiting the end of this administrative period). While I have been tinkering with the end to the book…

2025 Update

The store For various reasons I’ve decided to close my Etsy and simply retire out of FFXIV fan stuff. This has always been a side effort that was fueled more by my love for the story and lack of stuff being made. However story hasn’t been all that interesting to me. Count me among those who would unsubscribe if I wasn’t locked into a house. There are other forces though that were developing…

Happy 2024, Maybe!

Shortly before the New Year, I met with an old friend from early days here in the ATL who had happened to be back in town with various family stuff. He asked what I’d been up to these past covid years and, more importantly, where I will be heading. It was easy to answer and show what I’ve been up to (as he’d been following my photographic journey on my instagram), but not so easy to answer the…

Fanfest 2023

Fanfest 2023, Dissection

In past Fanfests I’ve not made a point to blog about the experience, but I think for posterity’s sake and how quickly people lose information in the FFXIV fandom, I decided to at least capture some thoughts after about a month out from the event itself. Note, this comes from someone who attended the two previous FFXIV Fanfests in Las Vegas in 2016 (youtube video)and 2018 (youtube video) and also…

We interrupt the silence...

Well Twitter continues to be rather odd. I was lucky to get in earlier on bluesky but haven’t done much with it as it’s been slow to gather a userbase I’m interested in (i.e., people are waiting on invite codes) and has some real noisy factors to it which make it a bit aggravating to deal with. Work has been very busy so I’m extremely intermittent online. I haven’t updated twitter, bluesky,…

2023! Let's try a mailing list!

2023! Let’s try a mailing list!

Hello and Happy New Year! While we watch social media spiral around in uncertain fashion, thought it would be worth trying to create a more consistent way to reach folks who are invested in my giveaways! As you know, I tend to prototype things long before they become available (or sometimes never make available). I’d like to find a good home for some of my successes and “soon to be forgotten”…
