The difference between a cyber activist and a cyber hacktivist is degrees, and sometimes the lines are very thin. An activist expresses his or her views maybe using social media and stays within the confines of the law. The hacktivist on the other hand has another agenda which might include illegal activity such as infiltrating systems, exposing data, and releasing this data onto the Internet for all to see. Some hacktivist groups have multiple members but others may not even…..
A lot of people think that anorexia is a gender biased disease that only happens to women. That is not true. Although anorexia can happen at any age there is some data that says that young adults are more prone to succumbing to it. Anorexia happens to male teens on some of the same levels as it happens to girls. As a young adult I became anorexic in my sophomore year of college. I was 17 at the time and…..
One of the things that I wanted to capture in the grydscaen series is the idea of becoming oneself through change. This can be physical change, mental change, emotional change or learning. There are many ways to grow more into your genuine self. I have been on a journey for the last 2 years after many years of self discovery to become my genuine self. 2015 started the journey that began when I was 5 and became fully realized at…..
So, every time you have to ask someone to help you do something you end up being at the whim of that other person. Be they a writer or an artist, a chef or a teacher, having other people involved sometimes makes things difficult. For the most part this is why as the author of the grydscaen series I do my own cover art, draw my own manga and well – edit, draft, format, write, proofread and illustrate. But sometimes…..
Continuing our series on cyber security, we will feature some new articles on aspects of cyber warfare. Today we start with the Dark Web. What is anonymity? Can I find out who you are? Can I spider a site to get its content? Can I find it in a search engine? What is the cost of being virtually invisible? The US Naval Research Laboratory created Tor in 2002. Tor was originally designed to create totally anonymous communications across the Internet……
When I set out to write grydscaen, I wanted to make sure that we could expose the grydscaen message to the global market. With the short stories that were first made available in grydscaen: tribute regarding the character Rom, I am making the grydscaen world accessible in other languages. To date, some of the grydscaen short stories are available in Japanese, French and English with planned translation into Spanish coming soon. Currently the story “A Storm’s Coming” is available as…..
When I was 16 I went to college. This might have been a little young to set out into the big world and experience new things. I was ready to learn more about the world having lived in a very sheltered community. My parents were computer scientists so getting good grades was always a thing. But one thing I learned going to college was that I was not ready for the experience. When I first dated my boyfriend I learned…..
So I wanted to publish 2 books this year. Right off the publication of grydscaen: alliance we began work on grydscaen: insurrection. Insurrection is one of my favorites in the series as it deals with mobile frames, pilots and the military. It allows me to write military scifi with an anime feel which is something I have been going for in the series. Insurrection introduces us to Sati Ima and Nathaneal Barjan who are both pilots in the Pacific Territories…..
This is Rom from the Packrat Sprawl making waves and coming to you live and direct from Central Street near the Office of Affairs. There are hosts lined up around the corner trying to get their licenses for the year before the deadline runs out. Faid was here earlier in the day getting his host card and his shots which all hosts are required to do. He works out of The Hole, x-rated magazine shop and is pretty popular. Faid…..
The grydscaen series provides an outlet for me to give back to society. Having recently released the ebook versions of “A Storm’s Coming” and the sequel “Rogue,” I see this as a movement forward in my mission. grydscaen allows me to support LGBT homeless youth services and young adult self esteem. These two stories in particular which focus on the teen Rom, the 16 year old LGBT youth living on the streets show the struggles of young people to be…..
