Lots of quiet out there currently. If I were Emperor kid-sniffer Poopy-pants, (or his string pullers, same difference) I'd be getting a might bit nervous. Silence is not a sign of acquiescence or submission. Silence is the sound of preparation and 'biding time'. Web silence is the sound of meat space dialogues. It could also … Continue reading Shhhh!!!! Listen close

Didn’t know I had an issue with things until yesterday eve, text messages between sisters. Snapped on Eldest sis. Felt like a pre-emptive attack in self defense. I can be the Shit some days. (Note; I later apologized, but it was definitely a tactfully worded verbal assault .) Took some time to step back and … Continue reading Ima chit somedays

WINGS OF CHANGE

What happens when a wounded veteran, a computer genius, and a handful of fiercely independent misfits decide that the best way to change the world is to stop waiting for someone else to do it?

G has spent years flying from a wheelchair, learning to make the sky obey him even when his body won’t. T is a computer wizard with a mysterious past, an enormous extended family, and a talent for turning impossible ideas into working machines.

Together, they build things that shouldn’t exist.

Aircraft that push the limits of what remote flight can do. Technology born in garages and workshops instead of corporate boardrooms. And a community of people who have decided that family isn’t necessarily something you’re born into.

But building extraordinary machines attracts attention.

Soon G, T, and their growing family find themselves caught between government agencies, competing agendas, and people who would very much like to know exactly what they’re capable of. What began as tinkering and experimentation is becoming something far more consequential.

Because when you build something powerful enough to change the rules, eventually somebody comes looking for the keys.
