Personal hurdles

July 20, 2019July 20, 2019 by diogenesoftherifle, posted in Uncategorized

One of my biggest issues and one I have fought time and again is 'perfection'. I say it all the time; 'I'm an imperfect perfectionist ' and it has been my Achilles heel since time out of mind. I've always been of the 'if you want it done right, do it yourself" types. Even now, … Continue reading Personal hurdles

Random misfires from Dio

Nope, not relating to mechanical things or boomsticks, just one of my random word-spill posts about everything and nothing. I really jumped into the rabbithole with those questions I posted a few months back. With that in mind, I gotta say it: our educational system is WOEFULLY inadequate. Here's a simple example; did you know … Continue reading Random misfires from Dio

Well, the deadtree edition is live now as well, and I just picked up my proofs today. Blech. I need to go back into the manuscript and make several changes, most specifically font size and page placements. Had a couple images get cut in half in the PDF export that I hadn't caught that I … Continue reading My books are in, wait, out, ummm,,,

Lotsa water. 15 minutes of it. Haven't seen rain like this since the Philippines on my way to Kuwait.https://youtu.be/v6Dl67On2rI As I have stated here a time or two, and Ol' Remus concurs, here in Appalachia, water is usually a nuisance. Its been an extremely wet summer to date and when we get rain(daily) it has … Continue reading Water

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.
