a self-declared cyborg doing cyborg stuff
The ‘Soulcruzer’ podcast (more of an audioblog, really).
Expect a blend of mysticism and music, psyche and soul, everyday wisdom, and the esoteric. One day, I might be waxing lyrical about Nietzsche’s eternal return, and the next, uncovering the wisdom of the tarot. It’s all up for grabs on this pod.
So, if first-person confessional style podcasts are your jam, subscribe to mine wherever you get your podcasts. I’m on all of the major platforms.
Q: what is it about me that i can’t keep my virtual hands off of creativity, love, mysticism, and misfit ontology?
Sam Harris on the meaning of life What is the reality of your present moment? What Sam Harris does in this video is to get you to rethink the quality of your attention in the present moment so that when you get to the end of this finite life of...

So Coolio passed away today. He was only 59 years old. That’s only 5 years older than me. My reaction to that is damn, I could go at any time, so I best live as though my days are numbered because they are. This is it. This is my life,...

I stumbled upon a few websites that if you are a nostalgic Generation Xer like me, you’ll love!! They are reminiscent of the weird and wonderful spaces that were spawned in places like Geocities and Livejournal. Here are the links I mention in the episode: NeocitiesStatus CafeDeadjournal Here’s my Status...
This is what I miss about the old Internet, individual flare, and creativity, like this ASCII comic from Michelle. You have to duck and dodge the algorithms and echo chambers if you want to find good stuff like this. I found this on Neocities. If you haven’t heard of Neocities,...
I needed some inspiration today. I haven’t been happy with my voice lately. There’s too much noise in my head and too many voices competing with each other for attention. It’s kind of like the shell game, my voice is the pea underneath one of the shells, and no matter...
I didn’t know you could use your WordPress blog to write Twitter threads or convert your existing blog posts into threads. I’ve been dabbling with threads recently, mostly using Hypefury or Typefully to compose them. I want to write more micro-essays and turn them into threads without overwhelming my Twitter...
This quote smacked me right between the eyes when I read it. “We judge others by their actions, be we judge ourselves by our intentions.” It’s a spin-off from a Steven Covey quote: “We judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their behaviour.” Here’s why it caught my attention....
You can do three things to reprogram your subconscious mind to deliver better results. Who’s doing the programming? Unfortunately, we don’t always take active control of programming our subconscious minds. We allow other people, social media, the press, books, TV, movies, and authority figures to do the programming for us....
