Gabobn baion bilan bkloj n]noj, don’t you think? And furthermore, gapiobn b ainb[‘ab[0ojhm, if you don’t mind my saying so.

Yeah, you guessed it — The gibberish tells you that I’ve been at the jewelry bench again, this time trying to sort out the fancier beads and the more ordinary kind, and taking apart what doesn’t work.

I intend to give away most or all of the ordinary beads, keeping just the ones I really want to spend some time working with to create very rare and unusual wearables.

Thing is, by the time I’ve made it, I’ve sold it, and most of the items I make in 14k gold are strictly custom order — I only have what I’m working on for a customer, which keeps me on my toes without getting my feet wet. Continue reading

Gold Amulets HOLIDAY SALE!

Wow, it’s actually here — we’re in the Xmas Season already, in case you hadn’t noticed. The commercials are full of Christmas colors, if not Christmas spirit. The true spirit of Christmas can’t be realized until people stop going to midnight mass and start putting the “X” back in “Xmas”.

It’s about gifts, don’t you know? And the perfect gift for this holiday season is the MINIATURE gold ammy. Continue reading

My Name is Inigo Montoya…

You heard right — “My name is Inigo Montoya. You kill-ed my father. Prepare to e-die.” But when you say that, you’d better be able to back that up. My trapper assassin can take any demon or Level Boss down in a split-second, and that’s what it takes to beat this game, the faster the better.

I’ll explain how to use a game to chill yourself out and maybe even transcend organic life — bear with me a moment, while I give you a little background:

So when those flake children in Congress and the White House and the Supreme Court get finished yanking us around, it all comes down to who’s got the towel, and don’t complain now about it — you were told about the towel after Earth exploded, and again you were reminded about always knowing where your towel is.

Just in Time!

The technology that delivers the Blue Line stuff, which is the Godd™ Engine & Editor, is typically found in a wantonly violent world like Planet Earth in the 21st century, and that’s why we are here.

Our job is to create the creator, not the creations.

Once made, a quantumized item remains, such as an electronic picture of a thing. It persists. It just plain persists. It doesn’t ever stop persisting. Continue reading

Wow! Dime-Sized Ammies are HERE!!!

This is my electronics workbench AFTER I’ve straightened it up.

Many people have asked throughout the past 25 years whether I could make the CQR Amulet any smaller, and I said “No”, because up to now — this very week — I couldn’t.

Then along came a miracle crystal that could contain the fatness of the already tiny miniaturized electronic parts inside the ammy, thanks to a friend of Barbara’s, who hand-crafts watch crystals for famous watchmakers like Piaget, whose watches go for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and she sometimes makes crystals for our ammies.

I needed a high-domed crystal that would fit into my gold bezel, so I sent her a raw radio so she could personally test the fit. Continue reading

Sell Everything & Run Like Hell!

When you see this van in BardoTown, you know you’re safe!

Sell everything and run like Hell. That’s pretty much the philosophy I run when I’m blasting through Normal, but I get slowed down just a bit when I hit Nightmare — usually a result of a definite lack of hardware.

I don’t spend ANY time in the shop. What I find, I use. Improvise and adapt, and take your time working through it. Patience is its own reward.

By the time I’m a level 25, you can be sure I’ve made myself some Stealth Armor with a Defense of around 92. Continue reading

Earth Goes Bust!

CQR Ammies — dime to dollar size in plain (shown here) and fancy.

So what’s to become of us? Will the U.S. end up as just another strongman dictatorship? When will the next pandemic wave hit our shores? Will we be overrun by hordes of immigrants spilling across our borders? Will the RED states secede from the Union? Is there any hope for truth? Will facebook destroy the planet? Is the sun going to blow up any moment now?

If the answer to any of those and a thousand more like them, we’re doomed. Continue reading

Original Donner Letters for SALE!

The two most vital and memorable incidents in early California history are the Donner Party and the ’49er Gold Rush. I don’t even have to tell you what those are about. If you’re like most Americans, especially Californians, you’ll know.

I happen to be a member of the family known in California as “The Donner Party” and I have a number of Donner Party memorabilia that could well be instrumental in discovering what actually happened at Donner Pass.

This collection of the UNPUBLISHED LONG-LOST DONNER PARTY PAPERS is perhaps the most important historical discovery related to early California history in this century, and is now available for sale to some lucky person. Continue reading

Having a Story to Tell

Bill Shatner hears a story about the dancing creatures of the Losel Woods.

One BIG secret of storytelling is to actually have a story to tell. It’s not that you can’t fabricate something without direct experience — you can make it up.

But what if you could make it up and at the same time draw from direct experience?

That’s the idea behind the storytelling training device I call Direct Experience. What you do is, you go into a Diablo 2 Resurrected game and you tell what happened.

This can manifest on several different levels. Continue reading
