Turns out, if you don't touch your site for a while, it turns janky. Lost and had to recreate all the articles. There are still probably some broken links somewhere, but at least you can click on a blog post and not be greeted with an error. By the way, need to bring my custom error messages back instead of the generic Apache ones.

God, I missed web-programming.

My science-fiction adventure novel (with mechanized armor combat and widespread unemployment) is now available for purchase on Amazon, Kobo, and iTunes. But since you went through the trouble to come here, you don't have to pay anything. Just subscribe to my mailing list, and you'll get a free copy.

Shards of Earth is finally ready. Now everyone will just have to wait until the 28th of June until it's available.

I forgot just how fun typesetting and writing acknowledgements is. It's like a little celebration.

Once the pre-order on Amazon ends, I will also give away Shards of Earth to anyone singing up to my e-mail list. Because, hey, you should be given something cool for trusting your personal information to me.

Being a sci-fi author, I think about the future a lot. Specifically about automation, and what the future job market will be like. Here are my current thoughts.

First of all, let's not talk about what the world will look like when we invent an AI that can do everything that a human can do. It deserves a separate discussion.

But let's imagine a world where most work is automated. Maybe New York has five hundred plumbers in an office, and when you need a plumber, they send a robot to your house, and then the plumber plugs into the robot for two minutes, looks through the cameras, picks a program, you pay, and the robot does the work.
