This is from September 2025, but I’m intentionally posting it now because it’s relevant. Criticism is useful, yes. The discussion is helpful. But when the product is so bad that trying to critique it makes my brain hurt, you have to go to a different level of analysis. I’m not even going to go into…

Woke up thinking about better frameworks for an intellectually honest life. I think the number one thing is handwriting as much as possible. I think typing is okay, too, if you just allow yourself to flow without distractions. While I don’t see myself going to a Neil Gaiman level absolute devotion to the idea of…

It was another day at the office, in the Year of Our Lord 2012, yet another day where the universe seemed to conspire against me. My inbox overflowed with social media updates and inconsequential emails. The news app on my smartphone was a carousel of doom and gloom. Rocking back and forth in my cheap…

A society that normalizes bullying is no society at all. Yet in our grand age of progress, we’ve apparently decided that bullying suddenly isn’t that big of a problem. It’s as if we took all those anti-bullying campaigns from the early 2000s and collectively decided to toss them into the same memory hole where we…

Collected below are the gaming related articles not associated with my Magic the Gathering articles or Pokemon articles, including the very few Yu-Gi-Oh articles that survived my massive 2024-25 purge (unfortunately a few should’ve survived that didn’t because I was overwhelmed and got a bit too picky.) I doubt I’ll be adding much to this…

While I haven’t engaged much with Magic the Gathering in several years now, it seemed time to re-release my best remaining Magic the Gathering articles (in PDF form) from my archive that still hold some value, at least historically. Many would require substantial editing to be evergreen, but I’m likely going to just keep them…

With Pokemon Champions being released in April 2026, it seemed time to rework and re-release all of the Pokemon articles (in PDF form) that I’ve written that have stood the test of time. Although some will require substantial editing to be evergreen, I’ll be tweaking them over time to reflect the latest developments in Champions.…

Now for your reading pleasure are all of the baseball articles (in PDF form) that I’ve written that have stood the test of time. There were many more written over the years that I haven’t held onto, thanks to being too time-sensitive about transactions and whatnot. I do regret not keeping many more of them.…

During the COVID Pandemic of 2020, I made the brave choice to give up on writing freelance assignments. One of the main reasons I did so was because I felt the color draining from my writing. The grind of churning out what felt like grayscale articles daily took a toll on my sense of creative…

Often, I ponder how many incredible ideas end up falling through the cracks over the years. How many great ideas, including pitches for manuscripts that never get written that could be mind-altering and life changing, are lost forever because they got caught in a waste-bin or spam filter? I wonder how many great writing careers…
