Hello Grandmother,
I’m spending my time building something important, something I’ll hopefully let you know about later, but I guess you could call this a slow day. I’ve had plenty of time sitting around with nothing to occupy myself but questions with very few answers. But I’ve come to a conclusion about one thing: I don’t [...]

Hello Grandmother,
The way I view things in the world today is generally coming down to one question: what do you see when you look in the mirror? We all know vampires see nothing, although I’ve seen enough vamps in public to know they have all kinds of scientific and magic ways around their mirror problems. [...]

Hello Grandmother,
I think I’m going to have to start taking some of the death threats I get literally. Living in the world of shadows, one of the worst things you can do is get paranoid every time someone says “I’m going to kill you”. It’s common practice, just a phrase that gets said to people [...]

Hello Grandmother,
Artificially intelligent beings have been around for a long time. Some say there are robots that are over four thousand years old. The begins of the modern robot line started a hundred years ago. And while a lot of these robots have broken down and fallen apart, some still exist to this day. And [...]

Hello Grandmother,
I’m trying to figure out who sent the goons who were dusted trying to break into my home yesterday. It could have been Muerto and the Knights of Day, it could have been someone the Illuminati hired over the whole mirror incident. But the most likely culprit is Fang, the warlord who’s been sending [...]

Hello Grandmother,
Writing to you isn’t easy. I know you’re out there, and you don’t know who I am. I can’t even be certain you’re reading this now. But it’s necessary to keep things anonymous, because there are people out to get me, and if they knew who you were, they’d be out to get you [...]

Hello Grandmother,
I’m starting to learn the ins and outs of the robot community. The Alternate has a strong distribution system that gives it a powerful sway over most of the west coast robots. However, the Alternate’s OS is not the only operating system available. Asia’s been conquered by robots for over a decade, and the [...]

Hello Grandmother,
I don’t speak any alien languages. I remember growing up wondering why any species with interstellar travel would want to come all the way to this planet to live, but these days I’m starting to see that maybe they had it worse somewhere else. After all, life on this planet is pretty nice on [...]

Hello Grandmother,
Following the Illuminati means I get to see some crazy parties. It also means that sometimes I get to sneak into them. That’s what happened last night. It was the usual Illuminati insanity; rich people doing the strangest drugs, sex and general debauchery they could find. Fascinating to watch, from an anthropological stand point, [...]
