Second Class Supers – Page 42
Read Second Class Supers – Page 41 Kya didn’t feel as though she had slept at all. Her morning alarm on her phone buzzed and beeped endlessly as she swatted at her nightstand. Forcing her left eye open, the one that felt to be the less dry of the two,…

WordPress.com For 8 Years
As of today, I’ve been a WordPress.com user for eight years. How amazing is that? I first started using it on this day in 2005. When I first started blogging here, it wasn’t on this domain, and I think it was primarily to check out the service for work. This…

Phonebloks – Neat Idea That’ll Never Happen
I recently came across a fun idea for a new cell phone concept called Phonebloks and it is something that I don’t think will ever happen. It is basically a cell phone with easy to replace parts. The idea really appeals to me, though I’m not a fan of the…

Favourite Food: Baking Powder Biscuits
One of the food items I’ve enjoyed most is baking powder biscuits. A simple food, it works well with chili or beef stew and I can eat it on its own with a bit of butter or margarine. I recently found a recipe that I follow loosely that usually creates…

Writing Second Class Supers Update
So, Annie and I are approaching “page” 40, and the story, while progressing at a reasonable rate, is getting long. We haven’t missed any of our deadlines, and have only come late (later on release day) once. We have published around 1200 words, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday since starting…
