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.

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...

D Smynerrat is caught in a trap Done 1.8

February 25, 2018

Smynerrat was always a curious beast, already 2 weeks old and venturing far outside of the conference with his friend Wildherat, who was a few days older and considerably wiser. They came upon the trap by following their noses, that heavenly aroma of sliced tilapia. That doesn't belong here chirped Wildherat, we should give it a wide berth. Smynerrat started moving closer, he was fascinated. He knew it was probably dangerous, didn't intend to go inside, just get close enough to have a look. What he didn't realize was that he didn't have to go inside to get trapped, the noose was on the edge of the doorway, as soon as he put his head in, it pulled around his head and neck. Then the machinery pulled him further into the trap, until the door closed behind him. Trapped like rats! He started screaming, help, help, get me out of here. Wildherat heard him, but didn't know what to do. The heater came on, soon Smynerrat could feel the mositure being sucked out of his t...

UDP 8888 HNMNBie library

December 15, 2017

Internet traffic whips past at the speed of light. It is only possible to detect a tiny subset of anomalous events in real time. The data is recorded, as much as possible and analyzed endlessly. Deep mining AIs flagging events for human analysts. Petty Officer 3rd Class Harold Snyder was almost ready to clock out for lunch when one of these events filtered up from SOC 23. NAVTRAFCAN023 16 reports UDP traffic DST 8888 1 byte data 0xC1 but differing checksums User Datagram Protocol, (UDP) is mildly interesting anytime it is used for something other than DNS. 8888 has no real definitive use, it ranges from DSL Speedtest to Heroes of Might and Magic 5 and anything else inconclusive. 1 byte of data is a bit odd, but UDP is an odds and ends protocol. However, the checksum should not change. Since the beginning of time, modulating the checksum has been used to send messages, a so-called covert channel, but this one so well known it was anything by covert. Snyder attached his analysis ...
