Here's a new nonfiction story for @yellowscenemag.bsky.social. It begins with a bizarre incident I witnessed over the summer. It got me thinking about the ways that tragic or horrific events get monetized. This one gets quite macabre. You have been warned. yellowscene.com/2026/10/22/o...

Op-Ed: Dealing in Death - Yellow Scene Magazine

These little hole-in-the-wall bookstores, stacked floor-to-ceiling with musty hardcovers, are the fuel and foundation of my creativity.

yellowscene.com/2026/10/22/o... I have a new article published with @yellowscenemag.bsky.social The Baltimore Sun says "AI" threatens to make the world *too* logical, with no room for emotion. Hardly. I see "AI" putting us on a path toward *irrationality*. #NoAI

Op-Ed: On "AI" - Yellow Scene Magazine

The perils of "AI" are a constant source of anxiety for me. Not a day goes by that we don't read about the ways LLMs impact our lives.

If you're writing a program for the Apple II that saves any kind of text to a floppy disk, you should read this book first. Apple II: The DOS Manual has all the information about passing DOS commands into BASIC, like reading and writing. There is a scanned copy on the Internet Archive.

I have a new article with @yellowscenemag.bsky.social You see, I'm a 'Yes Man.' I like to rage-bait call-center scammers by answering 'yes' to every question. I've compiled some of my best encounters into this article. yellowscene.com/2026/10/04/c...

Community Corner: Yes Man - Yellow Scene Magazine

I am a Yes Man. No, I haven't traded in my dignity for a dime. A Yes Man throws a chain into the cogs of drudgery and mass exploitation.

I got the composite input working on my 27-inch CRT. All I had to do was blow out a quarter-century's worth of dust from the inside. This one was a true roadside find, about three years ago. I am not sure I'll ever find one of these by the road again.

It is journalistically irresponsible for your organization to refer to the digitally fecal byproduct of Large Language Models as "artificial intelligence". Especially when talking about subject as serious as healthcare and biosafety.

Breaking news: Scientists in the US have for the first time used artificial intelligence to create viruses unknown in nature, a milestone that promises advances in healthcare but also raises important biosafety and biosecurity concerns. ft.trib.al/Uk6VCRG
