Three Different Ways:
Dreams, Madness, and Myths

  • Dream: Life for Mother

    I’ve dreamt about many an alternate world involving insects before. Been a space marine infiltrating a insectoid species’s space station looking for survivors of a brutal germ warfare attack. (As a human, I was immune.) In another dream, I found myself standing in a field of yellow daisies, standing with arms outstretched while a large…

  • Seal Framework

    I’ve been busy doing more than just playing at system administrator. I took the lessons from previous dreams and put them to paper as a rough sketch, then to a graphics program for more precise placement. More specifically, the geometry lessons I received in my dreams. I won’t bore you with minutiae, I’ll just jump…

  • Always Something To Do

    Moving the blog from Blogspot to Katalytis has been easier than I thought it would be, and tougher than I thought it would be. For some reason, I’m reminded of quest chains from my MMORPG days (years). In order to have the key to enter the dungeon and save the dipshit of the day, you…

  • Fixing Things: Unpacking The Boxes

    Hey, you made it! Excellent! If your feed reader didn’t already pick up the RSS, you can find it here. There are still some things for me to clean up, going through all my self referential links and pointing them to katalytis instead of Blogspot, for instance. Also making sure the images point to the…

  • Fixing Things: Upcoming Changes

    Just a heads up. In the next several weeks, Three Different Ways will be moving off Google’s Blogger Platform. I just have to decide which platform to go with. While Google gives a lot of features for the pleasant cost of $0, I find myself wanting features that Google just doesn’t offer. Full control of…

  • Idling: Only Three Different Ways?

    Why did you name the blog “Three Different Ways” anyway?

  • On KLRO

    Y’all just please keep in mind, the title of magician barely applies to me, much less Summoner or Sorcerer. I’m learning stuff by being thrown into the midst of the vat, and finding the names and proper rituals afterward. (Okay, I MIGHT be actively reaching. Maybe. But I try to only skirt the edges.)

  • Fixing Things: Different Screens, Different Sizes

    Playing around with Blogger settings, I decide to see what this “Blogger in draft” is all about. First thing that catches my eye, “Option to turn on Mobile Formatting”. Oh, I’ve been wanting this for a while. Let’s see what happens.

  • Dream: Black Hole Star

    I’m floating. Aware of movement, but not aware of orientation. One side of me is exposed to great heat, of such intensity the physics whore in me is screaming of the impossibility of existing here. The fantasy bitch calmly reaches over and slaps her, saying, “We’re dreaming, silly. Shut up and enjoy the ride.” I…

  • Why I Magic: Dream & (Lots of) Exposition

    I’ve been meaning to write about how I play at magic, but various mental dams and iceblocks keep tripping me up. So instead of writing the “how”, instead, I’ll write the “why”. Magic for me has always been about control. Not control of other people. Not control of the dipshits and numbnuts that seem to…
