With the crew of Artemis II safely returning to Earth, I thought I would take a moment to write about my experience visiting a NASA launch facility in Southern California.

Star Trek Voyager scene. Seven of Nine (tertiary adjunct of unimatrix 01) is pictured. She has a dolphin shaped metal robotic implant around her left eye because she is a borgs. Closed caption reads, "Fun will now commence."

The cover to Blade Runner, or Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, a novel by Philip K Dick.
Some classic PKD up next on the reading list.

Now that I'm taking care of my parents' lives in addition to my own, keeping a pocket notebook with me at all times helps me remember the important things.

The cover to Olga Ravn's book, The Employees.
Olga Ravn’s The Employees might be the strangest book I’ve ever read. It was haunting, confusing, and somehow impossible to put down. I picked it up for the cover. I stayed because I couldn’t tell if I was reading sci-fi, a workplace horror, or a philosophical meltdown in IKEA. Recommend, I think?
