Frequently Asked Questions
"What Do You Mean 'Communicator'? You're Good At Talking?"
I'm good at explaining things to people (and I study to ensure I'm good at it). I'm actually pretty bad at talking when I'm not teaching or learning.
There's a phenomena (sometimes called "The Curse of Knowledge" or "The Curse of Knowing") where Professionals in any given field tend to get stuck in an echo-chamber of sorts; they use industry specific terms that no one else understands and they assume most people know more than they actually do. Things like that can lead to really poor communication on both sides because a lot of people don't even know what or where to begin asking questions. It's like a Physician diagnosing you with Cephalgia and prescribing you Acetaminophen. My job as a Communicator is to bridge that gap and let you know that the Doctor just meant you have a Headache and they're giving you off-brand Tylenol for it.
"What Do You Use For Art? Any Brush Rec?"
Pencil, Paper, Laptop Trackpad, and PaintDotNet. I, uh, I use the line and shape tools.

"Why Are You Using NeoCities Instead of (insert Other Website Host)?"
I'm a very loyal individual. That, plus NeoCities as a brand and community share my values closely. Also, I mean, would it not be keeping in spirit to raise my GeoCities Blog back from the dead through NeoCities (whose mission is to bring NeoCities back from the dead)?
"What Do you Have Against AI?! I Just Asked (insert Chatbot of the week) Whether My Favorite Color Should Be Read or Blue."
Short Answer: I don't hate AI. I just don't like the concept of offloading my thinking capacity to a robot that lies to me and sells the conversation to the highest bidder. Long Answer: (Article Pending)
"Why Don't You Fix I-Phones, but Accept other Smart Phones?"
That's because Apple ensures that I can't touch their products unless I'm officially certified through them. Unlike every other electronic, Apple products are hard-coded to stop working when it senses any tampering to the hardware. It can only be 'properly' repaired by offical Apple Technicians.
Imagine I have 2 fully functional, completely identical I-Phones. I switch the screens between them. The phones know I did that and are very upset about it. So now neither of the screens turn on. Not because they don't work or aren't compatible, but because they know the screen is different. The only way to bypass this is [REDACTED] locked behind being a certified Apple Tech. Last time I looked, there was a waitlist.
