Prompted by Peckapalooza, hello! It’s a simple word and a straight-forward expression of greeting. It can also convey so much more. My first words to my new-born baby girl were ‘hello, I’m your daddy’. I spoke them through tears of joy and a quavering, emotional voice. That was a hello that felt a lifetime in […]
Paul has done it again. He’s quizzing us, possibly with a view to gathering so much personal data that he will steal and consume multiple identities. Eventually he’ll become too powerful to contain! For now though, I will surrender to his will. His will this time centres around the number five. Five is the atomic […]
It seems TEWSNBN is seeking to gain some rather big mileage from one offhand post I made during a patch where I was frustrated and annoyed. He’s extrapolated an awful lot from one small post, and in doing so, to use a term he uses a lot (albeit without explaining himself) he distorts what I […]
In the wake of the Yawata Strike and the League’s reaction to it, along with other flashpoints, a defacto state of war existed between the Star Kingdom of Manticore and the Solarian League, though no official declarations had been made. The League’s complex and murky bureaucracy and its sense of entitlement, not to mention its […]
Let’s kick this Muse off with a little dash of outrage. Kids I don’t know, maybe I’m being overly harsh here, but when you have two small children (one of which is a baby, and the other is only just walking), do you think it’s wise to leave them in a buggy whilst you go […]
It’s that rare occasion where I make a video!
Within the Honorverse there exists many classes of ship. Some of these are hyper-capable and some, due to size or design, are restricted to local operations. There are huge merchant vessels and passenger liners, small courier boats, and enormous, powerful dreadnoughts. All hyper-capable ships share certain characteristics. They are all double-ended hulls, tubular in design, […]
The advent of interstellar travel in the Post Diaspora era fundamentally changed the galaxy. For the first time humans could travel faster than light, and thus could connect to colonies founded by slow sleeper ships. With hyperdrive the galaxy was open to humanity, though the technology would need to be refined and adapted before true, […]
The Star Kingdom of Manticore (which through annexation of the Talbott Cluster and the agreed division of the Silesan Confederacy with the Andermani Empire had become the Star Empire of Manticore) and the Republic of Haven had begun peace talks following the devastating Battle of Manticore. Both sides had suffered tremendous casualties and both sides […]
Technically the 2nd Manticoran-Havenite War was a continuation of the first, which ended with a truce and not a formal peace treaty. Opinion is divided as to whether history should record the second war as actually being a second war. Nonetheless, following the conclusion of hostilities in 1915 PD, both Haven and Manticore had undergone […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
What’s the most fun way to exercise? I know of a fun way to burn off calories, but I’ll not be sharing the details here! I don’t know if I could call any of the standard means of seeking fitness ‘fun’. I’ve been doing regular sit-ups since the start of April, interspersed with a few […]
