The 8th issue of my zine “The Unexplained” came out sometime during the second half of 1988... It’s evident with this issue that I’d learned a bit more about cameras and copy machines. I remember being very proud of it. roychristopher.com/the-unexplai...

I’ve been slowly, quietly compiling an anthology of my zines, and this was one I didn’t have a copy of myself. FrontWheel Drive #46 was a ten-year anniversary issue of sorts. It came out sometime in 1996, a decade after my first zine in July of 1986: roychristopher.com/front-wheel-... 💙📚 #booksky

Afterword, by David Markson by [Name of Author] (@incastellated.bsky.social, 2025) is an odd little book at best... I cornered the consciousness behind the lack of author of Afterword (no, it’s not AI) and asked a few questions. 💙📚 #booksky wellredbear.com/afterword-an...

In the fall of 1999, I made my first attempt at graduate study in the #AI master's program at the University of Georgia. At the time, it was the only terminal master's degree in AI. The first grainy photo here is my lab at home in Athens at the time, and the second is the door to the lab on campus.

My favorite actors tend to play minor characters. There’s something truly special about the MVPs on the sidelines who score wins for the team without much notice. @dcpierson.bsky.social has haunted the edges of my psyche for years...
