At Kroger in Forney, Texas today. First sale ... the gnomes win.

Facebook took over where MySpace left off. MySpace and Friendster replaced Six Degrees. Before that, forums replaced BBS boards. Web2 is essentially one long timeline of platforms launching and dying,

I may be the outlier, but I don't sit in front of my socials all day and wait for comments. I like to post and get on with things. I check in two or three times a day and respond to comments then. Otherwise,

Signing books this week at Arise Church in Tool, Texas. Speculative fiction, children's and coloring books, Web3 nonfiction, humor/satire, flash fiction, and Christian nonfiction. It's not "something
