Gentlemen, we can rebuild them. We freaking finally have the technology! (Science post.) · 4:46pm Feb 6th, 2014

First clinical trial of a prosthetic with a sense of actual touch!

One test subject, one prototype and that last one has only seen even limited trial runs... but freaking still! A sense of touch!

I frankly thought this was still a decade or two away.

Pretty pics I've found while researching for Sufficiently Advanced. (Big pictures. Dial up users beware.) · 10:45pm Feb 1st, 2014

I've been researching a few things for Sufficiently Advanced and I came across a couple of neat O'Neill cylinder pics on Wikipedia.

What is a O'Neill cylinder you ask?

This pretty 'little' thing:

And this last is my favorite.

Two Sufficently Advanced ideas I’d like feedback on. · 4:33pm Jan 28th, 2014

First and the biggest one. The one that might be controversial.

Anthro tag. I’m thinking of adding one.

It was blink and you miss it, but a few of the members of the Pie Clan has been shown with that style of frame. Normally such a clear background detail wouldn’t matter much, but…

Wish me luck! · 9:58pm Jan 19th, 2014

I've been extremely if pleasantly surprised with how well received A Rare Source of Irritation has been so far given its absurd premise...

So I've decided to press my luck and thus just submitted it to Equestria Daily.

I'm fairly certain it will be my first rejection letter, but...

He who dares, wins, right?

Thinking about making a group. · 8:25pm Jan 6th, 2014

I've noticed a gap in the group coverage and I'm thinking off trying my hand at fixing that.

There are a decent number of alicorn, transformation, and even a couple of cyborg ponies groups...

But there doesn't seem to be a single group for stories with the theme of or characters actively striving for such a transformation.

Merry [Solstice celebration of your choice here]! and a happy new year! (And a few thoughts about another milestone.) · 12:12pm Dec 24th, 2013

That, and I seem to have passed into the fourth digit of story-views when I wasn't looking.

Not bad for roughly half a year. Still, I notice my two stories are near tied in number of views despite their much different lengths and story types... Don't get me wrong, I'm quite pleased with both my runty little children, but I can't help but wonder why one of them seem to be pulling ahead and by so far.

Is the site so starved for Sci-Fi? Did it just resonate with many?

Something to tide you all over. (Story recommendation.) · 5:39pm Nov 28th, 2013

I know I've been silent lately.

Sorry to anybody that is waiting on me, but RL is wearing me paper thin right now and nailing down the future plot-points is taking more time/energy then I thought it would.

Still, as the title implies... check this out in the meantime.

Can be found here.

It's not ponies, but it just might be the best superhero story I've read so far.

Just a bit of teasing and status updates... · 10:04pm Nov 11th, 2013

For both my fics actually...

For One Pony's Curse, Is Another Man's Blessing...

A bit brief, but I think I've figured out a couple of twists for later that make perfect sense, but are so out of the left field that I'm going to make a short Gdocs with them just so I can prove they didn't come from out of my arse.

You may find them via the link below.

Klick me, you know you want to.

Just thought I should share.

I am SO proud AND weary of us right now. (Science post.) · 3:50pm Oct 30th, 2013

On this day, humanity learned how to set water on fire.

I am not kidding.

How awesome isn't that?
