As founder of the profound reality-disconnectedness syndrome PESD (Post-virtual Epistemic Stress Disorder) and author of The KillWare Chronicles, it is only appropriate that I join the Association of Virtual Worlds.

Haven't bloggedy blogged in a while. Something to do with life in the non-virtual world, r-world vs e-world, that sort of thing. And I don't want to talk about presidential elections or r-world or e-world wars right now. So here's a totally non-heavy blog topic: I've always loved those "as seen on TV" gadgets and stuff when I've been at the county or state fairs. (Don't watch much real TV -- r-TV? an oxymoron? -- so I never saw them on TV.) But now there is a kind of e-TV place for those "as seen on..." and here it is: AS SEEN ON TV!
Writing Update: KillWare III still not finished though getting very close. Coming soon.

Three weeks hiding out and writing at the cabin by the lake (exact location a carefully guarded secret). Nearly finished with KillWare III. Working title: Rainbows In The Wastes. Question: "How are computers and homosapients alike?" Answer: "They're always being tested by their creators."

In the KillWare and PORPAG (Peoples' Online Revolutionary Political Action Group) tradition, K.D. joins and encourages others to join the Net Freedom campaign for Internet Neutrality and freedom of information. (Read about the Global Internet Freedom Task Force established in 2006.)

I've posted a review of When Invisible Children Sing, by Dr. Chi Huang and Irwin Tang, on my xanga blog. I highly recommend for the New Year 2007 this powerful true story of a young intern working with Bolivian street children.
