Against A Rock – my latest novel - free download
Floreina is a cybernetically enhanced young woman with a vibrant future in the Amarrian Empire, a decorated turret commander and slave overseer aboard an Abaddon warship, but after a cruel “accident” and the repeated abuse of slaves, Floreina risks everything in a defiant act of mutiny.
Along the way she learns that commandeering a battleship takes more than just artificially focused cunning, automated adrenaline injections, and simple, old-fashioned brutality. For her plan to succeed, Floreina must befriend a Minmatar slave.
But plans don’t always go as planned… And as the two fight for their lives, Floreina must find a way to reconcile their friendship with the racism that drives her career.
Kalin’s True Stories
These are true stories that have actually happened to me. I did my best to be as accurate as possible but… well… you know how it is with memory.
My favorite so far is Stockholm Syndrome, about the time shortly before I became an anarchist when I was arrested and my whole perspective on law enforcement was turned upside down.
For my atheism related true stories, one is Alekson, about an old friend who pulled a knife on someone because he thought she was casting magic spells on him, or The Jesus Leap about a friend who jumped off a bridge for Jesus, or Middle Finger Justice about a guy I knew who went on a killing spree in the name of God. I wish I was making this stuff up.
Many of the other short true stories listed in the sidebar to the right have special meanings and illuminate important issues in our society. Others are just silly, such as The Dog Trap or Attack of the Crows.
WordPress Development
I currently work as a professional Flash ActionScript developer (My hideous, outdated Flash portfolio website is at KalinFlash.com), however, my hobby and possibe new career is in WordPress. I have developed three WordPress plugins now available for free download from WordPress.org for use by other WordPress bloggers.
Post List – Creates a shortcode or PHP snippet for inserting dynamic, highly customizable lists of posts or pages such as related posts or table of contents into your post content or theme. (I’m using this right here on this page.)
Easy Edit Links – Adds a box to your page/post edit screen with links and edit buttons for all pages, posts, tags, categories, and links for convenient linking.
And of course, PDF Creation Station – Build highly customizable PDF documents from any combination of pages and posts, or add a link to any page to download a PDF of that post.
Atheism
After experimenting with Christianity around the turn of the century and receiving numerous and increasingly disturbing messages from God, I finally rejected the whole concept. Now I am a devoted Atheist because I don’t want anyone else to be put in that kind of danger. Read more on my Atheism page.
22 Ways Religion Promotes Crime – One of the most important articles I’ve ever written. Simple and to the point.
Science Versus Faith – A few examples of how both science and faith are used in the real world.
Anarchism
Anarchism is a very complex topic and difficult to explain in less than a couple pages. Basically I believe the world would be a better place without government and law-enforcement. I believe police-brutality and corruption are significantly more common than most people will admit. I have personally witnessed such brutality. A police officer once told me there is no such thing as a cop who cares about right and wrong. Another officer once told me that the greatest joy in life is the thrill of beating someone until they beg for their life. I am an anarchist because I do not support that.
I am a communist-anarchist, meaning I believe that financial systems detract from our ability to be good, productive people. In this sense, I am a hypocrite, as I am addicted to money, and my success drives me to support an anarchist vision of socialism.

Old Stories
These are some of the short stories I wrote back in High-School from 1996-1999 for creative writing class. Stories of New Beginnings is my collection of Science Fiction, starting with my first story, Austin Station, a long, multiple perspective about a futuristic society and life aboard a space station. Memory is one of my favorites, a romance between an old man and a computer-generated memory. Or Two Peoples is a tale about two species trying desperately to communicate as they race a deadly missile.
In The Water Glass Collection, I have some of my more contemporary stories, most people’s favorite being The Water Glass, a story of an old man daring himself to take his final drink of life.
Marijuana & Drugs
Me toking up during my brief mohawk period
I sold marijuana for ten years. I finally quit after moving to Seattle for my programming career. However, I continue to smoke regularly and still see myself as a drug dealer in a spiritual sense.
My previous website was titled Get To Know a Marijuana Dealer, at isellpot.ws. On this site I basically announced my drug-dealer status and mocked the police for their inability to bust me. That site kind of defined who I was for about eight years, but it was eventually stolen by an automated spam-bot when I forgot to renew my domain name. I will post some of the pages from that old site, but most of it no longer meets my personal standard of quality.
Subject: WHERE ARE OBAMA’S GIRLFRIENDS?
Something to think about!!!!!
I hadn’t thought about this – but where are Obama’s past girlfriends -
surely he had at least one? No past girl friends popping up anywhere?
Strange – strange to the point of being downright weird!
OK, this is just plain old common sense, no political agendas for either
side. Just common knowledge for citizens of a country, especially American
citizens, who know every little tidbit about every other president (and
their wives) that even know that Andrew Jackson’s wife smoked a corn cob
pipe and was accused of adultery, or that Lincoln never went to school or
Kennedy wore a back brace, or Truman played the piano.
We are Americans! Our media vets these things out! We are known for our
humanitarian interests and caring for our ‘fellow man.’ We care, but none
of us know one single humanizing fact about the history of our own
P resident.
Honestly, and this is a personal thing… but it’s bugged me for years
that no one who ever dated him ever showed up. Taken his charisma, which
caused the women to be drawn to him so obviously during his campaign, looks
like some lady would not have missed the opportunity.
We all know about JFK’s magnetism, McCain was no monk, Palin’s courtship
and even her athletic prowess were probed. Biden’s aneurisms are no secret.
Look at Cheney and Clinton-we all know about their heart problems. How
could I have left out Wild Bill before or during the White House?
Nope… not one lady has stepped up and said, “He was soooo shy,” or “What
a great dancer!” Now look at the rest of what we know… no classmates, not
even the recorder for the Columbia class notes ever heard of him.
Who was the best man at his wedding? Start there. Check for groomsmen. Then
get the footage of the graduation ceremony.
Has anyone talked to the professors? Isn’t it odd that no one is bragging
that they knew him or taught him or lived with him.
When did he meet Michele and how? Are there photos? Every president
provides the public with all their photos, etc. for their library. What has
he released? Nada – other than what was in this so-called biography! And
experts who study writing styles etc. claim it was not O’s own words or
typical of his speech patterns, etc.
Does this make any of you wonder?
Ever wonder why no one ever came forward from Obama’s past, saying they
knew him, attended school with him, was his friend, etc? Not one person has
ever come forward from his past.
This should really be a cause for great concern. Did you see the movie
titled, The Manchurian Candidate?
Let’s face it. As insignificant as we all are… someone whom we went to
school with remembers our name or face… someone remembers we were the
clown or the dork or the brain or the quiet one or the bully or something
about us.
George Stephanopoulos, ABC News said the same thing during the 2008
campaign. Even George questions why no one has acknowledged that the
president was in their classroom or ate in the same cafeteria or made
impromptu speeches on campus. Stephanopoulos was a classmate of Obama at
Columbia-class of 1984. He says he never had a single class with him. Since
he is such a great orator, why doesn’t anyone in Obama’s college class
remember him? And, why won’t he allow Columbia to release his records? Do
you, like millions of others, simply assume all this is explainable – even
though no one can?
NOBODY REMEMBERS OBAMA AT COLUMBIA
Looking for evidence of Obama’s past, Fox News contacted 400
ColumbiaUniversity students from the period when Obama claims to have been
there, but not one remembers him For example,Wayne Allyn Root was (like
Obama) a political science major at Columbia , who graduated in 1983. In
2008, Root says of Obama, “I don’t know a single person at Columbia that
knew him, and they all know me. I don’t have a single classmate who ever
knew Barack Obama at Columbia … EVER!
Nobody recalls him.
Root adds that he was, “Class of ’83 political science, pre-law” and says,
“You don’t get more exact or closer than that.. Never met him in my life,
don’t know anyone who ever met him.”
At our 20th class reunion five years ago, who was asked to be the speaker
of the class? Me. No one ever heard of Barack! And five years ago, nobody
even knew who he was. The guy who writes the class notes, who’s kind of
the, as we say in New York , ‘the macha’ who knows everybody, has yet to
find a person, a human who ever met him.”
Obama’s photograph does not appear in the school’s yearbook, and Obama
consistently declines requests to talk about his years at Columbia ,
provide school records, or provide the name of any former classmates or
friends while at Columbia .
How can this be?
NOTE: Wayne Allyn Root can easily be verified. He graduated valedictorian
from his high school, Thornton-DonovanSchool , then graduated from
Columbia University in 1983 as a Political Science major in the same ’83
class in which Barack Hussein Obama states he was.
Some other interesting questions.
Why was Obama’s law license inactivated in 2002?
Why was Michelle’s law license inactivated by court order?
According to the U.S. Census, there is only one Barack Obama – but 27
Social Security numbers and over 80 aliases..
WHAT!?
The Social Security number he uses now originated in Connecticut where he
is never reported to have lived.
No wonder all his records are sealed!
Is this really the most appropriate place to post this? I think your conspiracy theories might be taken a little more seriously if you post them on pages that are actually related to your topic.
