Recently I have affirmed what I believe to be the inherently Satanic nature of television. Television is essentially an invention on par with nuclear weapons. It is a device designed for the sole purpose of destroying part of God's creation. While nuclear weapons destroy large-scale areas instantly, television destroys large-scale portions of time. It is indeed a weapon of mass temporal

Let's grow! -- From the URL above Yes, let's. Let's grow a little more critical of what we read. Apparently NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming) is a methodology whereby one may improve one's self by applying such things as anchors to the mind or placing "mental marks" on people. The solutions to fundamental problems (such as improving one's marital relationship) are presented in a

After having a rather hilarious discussion with my friends in the CS lab I have decided to post a few descriptions of games we played at my church youth group in Burns Lake. These are: 1. The Sock Game 2. Darling if You Love Me 3. The Almost Kissing Toothpick Game 4. Putty

I find myself needing to bleed out right now. I think I'll put some material from my upcoming story on this blog, as I've found myself stuck in an awful rut. Art, this is for you, I guess. I told people in my creative writing class that I do indeed consult with people in the CS lab in formulating my ideas.... Nah.. I think I'll just send Vashua away and be done with it. This is getting

Since I am doing so much work with Pryna right now I decided it might be nice to introduce you to some hot titles on the book lists on Pryna right now. Today's title is: Your Ass is in My Vector Space Now: A Practical Introduction to Modern Mathematics Now on Pryna mathematics is done in a more interesting way. You see, the textbook is also an interactive virtual world. You enter the

This weekend's edition of the Globe and Mail emphatically suggested (in a good many places throughout, much to my growing annoyance) that we learn Chinese language. Now I know that some of you may know that I am not one to thoroughly read the newspaper -- indeed I only skimmed a few articles at the suggestion of my father -- but what did strike me was the good number of Chinese tetragrams found

I was cleaning my room a few weeks ago when I came upon a paper on which was printed some sort of Christian manifesto. I know, I know, many of those have been written throughout the centuries, but this one kinda touched me and I thought I might share it. As for the origin of the paper itself, I probably printed it years ago, back in 1999 or 2000, when I was interested in military technology.

Remember that weird inscription my friend said he made in his sleep? Well I've managed to dig up the oldest transcription of it I could find. This one was produced on 10106.24, or June 24, 2001. It was transcribed directly from a copy my friend made for me on a piece of paper. Unfortunately that copy is now lost and so this is the best and closest approximation I can find. I should never have

I made another update to the site on Attrendian. It pertains to the alphabet of that language. I kinda have to make a confession here. That alphabet is based on a "code" I invented back in 2000 for the sake of fitting in with the code people in grade 12. That is, I wanted to fit in with these people who made up little code systems - usually variations on substitution ciphers - and showed them

Two people I know have made strange doodlings that look like charactery. The former (IMAGE 1) was a friend from British Columbia. He claimed to have made the doodlings in his sleep, etching them in the wall as he dreamed. Upon awakening from the strange dream he found the symbols etched into his wall and a knife in his hand. The latter image (IMAGE 2) is from an occasional visitor to the CS

The story's finished, but I want to go on to something else with it. You see, there's a tonne of loose ends that I haven't dealt with yet. And I'm kinda worried about what will happen when it's workshopped on Tuesday, or whenever it gets workshopped. Anyhow, there's a bunch of places I wanna explore with this story. The tentative title of the "chapter" I have finished just now is Old

I was out on Google.com looking around for other Redeemer blogs when I came upon an apparently abandoned blog called Elitist Central. I have no idea who it is who kept this blog, but it immediately caught my interest. You see, it was a website kept by an individual who fancied him/herself to be an elite intellectual and was thus not afraid to make grand generalized pronouncements concerning

I have almost completed my first big story in a while about Pryna. The story is set in ancient Attrendia, sometime during the latter part of the Capan occupation. But I find myself in a bit of a jam, as I have allowed my characters to get themselves into a bit of a sticky situation.... Oh well I guess things will work out in the end. Apparently the Voynich Manuscript is looking more and

Well I've officially gotten into it: Writing a story pertaining to Pryna and its history. I am dealing with a great deal of challenges in doing this. Firstly, I have no idea what the local Attrendians and Capans wore some 8000 years ago. Secondly, those Capans are really bad-assed. Can I write about them without getting into trouble? I kinda need to do that here.... Oh well. A few little

I thought I'd post an old story of mine, from my last kick at the creative writing course thing. The Favour by Kevin R. VanDenBreemen Writing this will not be an easy task. Over fifteen years have passed since the events I am about to describe to you took place, and I am still uncertain of where to begin. Perhaps I would do well to start by telling you of the place at which this story

Hey. I turned in a story for eng403. I wasn't all that impressed with it, actually, but we'll hafta see how things go. Now I want to get a little bit technical here and tell you my thoughts on the nature of writing personal logs or other historical documents. I've been doing a lot with memory in the last few years. I mean, how it can be enhanced, pinned down, carried on, etc... by written

I'm currently sitting here moping like an idiot and meditating upon the poor condition of my neck, knowing I ought to be doing something, but finding Kalsbeek to be too boring an author. I cannot move my head anywhere but straight on top of my neck and so I am feeling very stiff right now. Well, anyway I think I should let you readers go for now so you can get onto something else.

Here at FractalDimension, I have decided to start a little competition. Well, more a web search on my part actually. Since I'm hoping to do a little bit of writing about Jupiter, I've decided to look for the best artistic rendering of what it might be like inside Jupiter's atmosphere. The pictures I find I will include in my photo album, along with acknowledgement of the sources, of course.

I just finished reading Joseph Conrad's "The Secret Sharer." It was kinda cool. I was expecting it to end more dismally, but was still pleasantly surprised to find that the narrator escaped without his double taking over the ship instead, as I had expected. Perhaps that would have been too cliche. I think I need to tighten down on classification of personal matters. Too many secrets.

In some ways it's as though I never left Redeemer for the summer and I'm still there in third year. Already I've started working on stuff for my fourth year. I spent a good deal of time both last week and this week finalizing material for Attrendian and then buying and reading books. Then today I tried to get some reading done despite protests from my friends that the semester has barely

I have to confess that I'm getting rather tired of a lot of the music played on what used to be a rather good electronica station. Now I know that my love of electronic music can be a bit extreme at times, but I still feel myself justified in complaining about the defilement of other genres I see elsewhere. Of course I'm sitting here writing this and listening to a cool remix of Seal's Crazy.

I think it might be nice to sumarize what I've been doing and to share some potentially valuable insights for anyone reading this. Firstly, I have this rather odd habbit of labelling periods of my life as though they were historical periods in the more traditional sense of the term. I have termed this era of my life the "Era of the Super Project." That is, this time in my life has been
