Scopique September 6, 2019

I had an idea on what I was going to write about this morning, but when I focused in on the specifics — you know, like, words — I realized that I didn’t really have much to say. Instead, I’ll Bob-Ross-Brush-Slap my…

Zach-Fn-Tronics Games

Scopique July 19, 2019

I consider myself to be a fairly intelligent person. I did well in grades K-12, secured a B.S. in hard science, worked IT support before it went all flow-chart, and am now a full-stack application developer. Imagine my surprise and frustration whenever…
