Movement: the Depth of Space between Adjectives

One of my online friends once asked me why I have so many blogs and journals all over the Internet. Thinking about it, I realized I like to keep strict separation controls on my writing, building a barrier of contextualization with which I can do free-writing and association for certain types of writing: some serious, some for fun, some experimental, some that I might as well, or have been, gushing blood or sweat or tears or potentially broken bones during composition.

Anyway.

Aside from my online journals, I have (rather had) a notebook journal that was gifted to me via a "Secret Santa" thing that from an online writing forum I frequented some time around Y2K, when started using a particular online pseudonym for writing and coding. This notebook/journal has been stolen. I think about it sometimes, like . . maybe somebody has read it, all my secret private thoughts and such -- makes me very uncomfortable.

This digital gypsy has a new muse these days; the depth of space between adjectives.

Celebrating artists and veterans alike: those who do not work for financial interests

My paternal grandfather -- whom I never met -- is buried in Golden Gate cemetery. His headstone says "U.S. Marine Corp" and "WWII". I mentioned in my introduction post that like most veterans and undercelebrated Navajo Code Talkers of his era, my grandfather did not dedicate his life to serving financial interests . The war on fascism enabled womens' rights on this continent. My maternal ancestry has a significant chunk of Native American -- or, as we prefer to be called, "indigenous", and I was his first grandchild, despite the fact that my dad was not his oldest son. Also since it is relevant to how we refer to time -- my parents were never officially married. My mother, being of indigenous peoples, did not believe in those certificates with incorrect time stamps issued by County-based courthouses, or in what their idea of "official" is. She always knew her grandfathers and great grandmothers had been on this continent longer than Co...

The Native American wage gap and Why I will NEVER hire an Agent

"I am not writing or selling a book; I just want to help make yours better." This is what it means to me to be a Technical Writer. Let's whittle your ideas into clarity. This is where my technical mind is priceless; my diverse background experienced in "pretty much all" (yes, all) of the computer-based technology-related technical fields that make use of "software", as well as my "better than average" vocabulary gleaned from many scientific fields -- my smarts can make you seem smarter than you otherwise would seem. If you're good at what you do but not necessarily proficient in English, I can lend the kind of smarts that will sharpen the focus of your papers, sell your books, get more "clicks" on your headlines, or make your resume the one the company looks at longer and with more interest.

If I could have a conversation with Larry and Sergey today

Since I lived in Silicon Valley way back when Larry, Sergey and Marissa were getting their recently-IPO'd company off the ground, I did my due diligence on them all way back then ... as a college grad, I liked and trusted all of them to do what they said they wanted to do with the company. Especially that "don't be Evil" part. And like most people who camped or resided within a CalTrain ride's distance to $Alphabet-C (GOOG.US)$ Mountain View campuses, I would have loved to work for Google back then. There is no doubt in my mind that a majority of things would be totally different and better for the majority of people alive today ... if you guys had only given me a team and a chance. Like I told everybody in the column about All the Native American Leadership Missing in Corporate America , I am who you need to hire to sustain your business -- not people who respond to damage on their ego with physical violence. The absurdity. Living on ...
