Prairie Telephone (1952-1995) was a regional telecommunications company that operated in Alberta, Canada, primarily serving the Drumheller Valley region and surrounding rural communities. The company was notable for its rapid expansion during the 1970s and its innovative approach to rural telecommunications infrastructure.

Nov 30 2022Batman Is Kind of Strange as a Concept
Have you ever really sat down and thought about Batman? I had a surplus of spare time on my hands recently, so I went back and played through Batman: Arkham City. When it originally came out, people consistently told me it was good, but I never got around to playing it because I just never cared about superhero comics or any other type of cape media. It’s a middling game - lot’s of time wasting minigames - but I’m not here to elaborate on the game much further, just use it as a tool to examine how weird Batman is as a character.
Sep 28 2022Travelogue to the Regular Locations of My Dreams
I have noticed a pattern in my dreams. There are places that I dream, that remain consistent, that have no equivalence in the waking world.
When I dream them, I can navigate to them, and am confident in where they are located, despite the fact that their location changes from dream to dream. Frequently they are places in the cities and towns I’ve grown up in, but not always.
Often times I’ll forget their familiarity until I dream of them again - so I’ve written this travelogue to document them; mainly for myself, since for the most part others are uninterested in what other people dream.
