I tried to develop an Artificial Intelligence, but I think it’s become sentient… [Part 1]
Before I recount the events of today, I’d like to preface this entry with a short introduction about myself. I’m a 21-year-old guy studying Info Tech at university. I’ve always had a fascination with Artificial Intelligence and the idea of creating a machine with “human-like” consciousness really interested me. Accordi...

Lantern Flies
There exists a species of lantern fly in the Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware area that is a pest to crops and agriculture. This same one is also an invasive species; it was never meant to be here. Similar to that of the shield bug or more commonly known as stink bugs. The spotted lantern fly unfortunately is a co...

There Is Something Wrong With Ashlyn.

Why I Disposed of My Polaroid Camera
2018 was hell. I'm glad it's over, I'm glad I can finally be at peace with my life. Or what's left of it, at least. I'm sorry, I'm getting so ahead of myself. It all started towards the end of 2015. I was twelve back then. It was June, and my 6th grade class was having an end-of-the-school year celebratory picnic, wit...

11:25
11:25… A lot of people say that time stops moving when you're in school. Like no matter how long you look the clock will stay the same and only when you look away will time start moving again. 11:25… I can’t help but stare. It’s the only thing I can think to look at. Not the ceiling, not the floor, not the teacher, ...

Scratches.
My house is old. Very old. It was built in 1913 so that farm workers in the area had a place to stay. With old houses come some things you've gotta get used to. Sometimes the floors creak, sometimes you hear noises in the walls. But there are some things that you never really warm up to. I still hate spiders crawling a...
