The Great Philosophers
Just a note. In college one of the course requirements was a series of Humanities courses where we studied art, music, literature, politics/philosophy all lumped together. One of the philosophers we had to read was St. Augustine and his Confessions. We only read excerpts of his work in class. I have decided to give his writing a full read, and I have reached the middle of the book. This is definitely a read that has to be read in small chunks while St. Augustine describes his search for Jesus and who he is in life. It is an interesting read.

Fall of the Apocalypse . Content Warning.
The Fall of the Apocalypse The zombie outbreak didn’t start with sirens or explosions or government warnings. It started with a man trying to buy a pack of Marlboros at the Genoa Junction Bp off Highway 12. I was behind the counter, half asleep, half annoyed, and fully ready to tell him we were out of his brand. Cyndle was restocking the cooler, humming something off‑key. The fluorescent lights buzzed overhead like they always did. It was just another Tuesday.

Through the Eyes of Bill Bixby. Top Story - September 2026.
Link to the Challenge: Thank you for the Challenge, Annie. I may forgive you one day. I had quite a few fears as a child. It is not worth my time listing all of them here, but I count my father, the odd bully, death, and the possibility that I just did not belong to the family I was with as a large part of the list. It was so bad that I reached the point, when we moved to the suburbs, that I could watch any horror film by myself and barely feel any fear (my mother wondered how I could sit in our basement on a Friday night watching some of the best years of Wes Craven and John Carpenter). To me, they were just cartoonish fantasies after everything else I faced and thought of.

Beyond The Veil
This image is an edit of the “Flammarion Engraving” (ca. 1888). In the original, the red-clad wanderer pierces the veil of this world to find an incomprehensible and divine cosmology beyond it. In contrast, the edit presents the man with a land of neon signs: Exxon-Mobil, McDonalds and Shell shinning amidst tangled power lines, roads and passing cars. What was the height of divinity and truth in the original is replaced with the base, ugliness of modern civilisation.

I Didn’t Mean to Disappear
I didn’t plan to vanish from Vocal, not for this long... No dramatic exit, and it wasn't caused by any kind of creative burnout- I didn't make any grand announcement either. I simply stepped away for “a little while, yet it turned out to be longer than I thought,” and then life quietly rewrote the script.

Remote Work Resorts
Let me be brutally honest: the traditional office is dying a slow, painful death, and frankly, it's about time. After spending the better part of two decades watching corporate Australia cling to outdated work models like a security blanket, I've witnessed something extraordinary unfold over the past few years. The pandemic didn't just force us to work from home - it exposed the glaring absurdity of forcing talented people into sterile cubicles for eight hours a day, five days a week.
