HNMNBM Book One

His/Her Name Must Not Be Mentioned, (HNMNBM) is a science fiction novel in development. Most of the posts are drafts that are later incorporated into the appropriate chapters. Almost all of the artwork is the result of Powerpoint, and/or found images usually run through the Deep Dream Generator. The images supplement the words to describe my vision for various scenes.

A piece of the action

September 24, 2019

Guy asked, "Now that you are selling Curvaceous Coffee what will you do with the money? Wanna go on a cruise?" Wonk looked up amused, "I'm working on Key Performance Indicators, (KPIs) for a Micro Hotel. Remember the place we stayed overnight to be ready for razor clamming in Pacific Beach." "Yeah, sort of, Guy replied, the Nautical Inn or some such." "Clipper Inn, Traveler suggested I buy it. He is even willing to front the money, for interest in return of course. I'll run it. In return, I get a share of the profits, if I can pay the loan back, I own the hotel in 7 years. 600k loan, 15% simple interest 7 year payback, (84 payments). The corporation has 1500 shares at a price based on a value of $650 each, ($972,556.44/84). If I can't buy them all back in that time, the value is recomputed for the 85th payment." "Traveler gets 15% return on his money over 7 years, but you could end up with a hotel in Pacific Beach? S...

HNMNBM Party

August 31, 2018

Wonk said, may I ask your gorgeousness a question, what is with the HNMNBM sticker on your Polaris? What does HNMNBM mean? Where do they come from, who is behind it, earnestness bouncing off the walls of the lodge, courtesy of the frenetic young man. So far, all I know is you and Gloria are associated with it and you are both very interesting people. He rolled the "r" in very to accent the word. Yolanda smiled between half closed eyes, shrugged. I was at a party, invitation only, they were sitting on a table; I grabbed one. Nobody there really needed an indoctrination, we were there because we could see our country spiraling down into a strongman government at full tilt; just didn’t have a label for us. The political power in our country was concentrated on a shrinking ruling class that was fully aware dinner was almost over and someone was going to get stuck with the check. The were caught up in the #ME movement, grabbing money fast as possible, bu...

1 Material Science - Higher Education - Gang of seven

August 01, 2017

Many historians point to the second decade of the 21st century as the tipping point for the general decline of higher education. Institutions of learning were often viewed with suspicion. Graduates, lacking useful skills, could not find employment. A sizable minority matriculated with student loans that simply could not be repaid. Schools that had counted on the loyalty of alumni found it was largely missing. And of course with the great debt shakeout there was little government money to be had by anyone, for anything. Some of the most well known of the techno-wealthy genre had either dropped out of college, or never bothered to attend. However, the large, successful, companies they formed needed educated employees. As colleges began to fail, succumbing to insolvency, inability to maintain accreditation, or just lack of interest, these billionaires slowly and carefully began to invest in education. Sometimes it was a school of their own, often based on a new learning concept; many of...
