Site News
2013.02.04 Going through a process of questioning fundamental ideas about Alaya.net and what it should or could be, and what types of organizational frontend and backend structure make sense. Even if I were to keep the current categories of techne, soma, and psyche, is it best to have them as entirely separate subdomains? How integrated…

Installing Windows 8
I installed Windows 8 on a “new” used computer I got a couple weeks ago.

Installing Windows 8 was pretty much identical to installing Windows 7. I chose to do a…

The Paradigm for American Government
Many if not most people who use the site Facebook have the mistaken understanding that as users of the site, the site exists primarily for them. In this context, they see themselves, the users, as similar to customers in the real world. In the real world there is a relationship between a business and its…
