The universe, as you have probably noticed, is quite large. It is also remarkably disorganised, frequently loud, and operates on a set of physical laws that seem to have been drafted by a committee that stopped checking its email sometime in the late Cretaceous period.
This website is an attempt to deal with that.
My name is Andy. I am a human being, which means I spend a significant portion of my time hurtling through a terrifying cosmic void at sixty-seven thousand miles an hour while simultaneously worrying about whether I remembered to buy milk, or if the clouds look a bit rain-ish today.
I have no formal qualifications in cosmology, quantum mechanics, or the delicate art of hyper-spatial engineering. What I do have is a front-row seat to the sheer, magnificent absurdity of everyday existence, a notebook, and a sneaking suspicion that whoever is running the switchboard of reality has accidentally sat on the "chaos" button.
What to Expect Here
If you are looking for profound spiritual enlightenment, detailed instructions on how to construct a faster-than-light drive out of a toaster and a length of twine, or definitive answers to the Ultimate Question, you are almost certainly in the wrong place.
Instead, you will find a collection of short observations, brief stories, and cosmic musings concerning the strange things that happen when the infinite scale of the universe collides with the mundane realities of life on a damp rock in the western spiral arm of the Galaxy.
It is a look at a world that is spinning very fast, told by someone who is trying very hard to remain polite while it happens.
In short, everything here is exactly as it should be.
Or, at the very least, nearly normal.
