Like a Raggedy Phoenix From the Haunted Ashes

From Haunted House Hangovers to Divination Ducks and Feathered Uprisings

I’ve been lying low for about a year—a final recovery from my “shamanic sickness”—but I’m finally getting back on my feet. It turns out selling my haunted house did more than clear out the cobwebs: it exorcised whatever lingering daimons were dragging me under. (Thank goodness Texas doesn’t require paranormal disclosure when you sell—talk about lucky loopholes.)

With my health on the mend, I’m turning my focus back to fun projects while I find some freelance work to start the restoration of my piggy banks.

Rubber Duck Tarot: Perspective Debugging for Creative People

Think of Rubber Duck Tarot as the lovechild of Oblique Strategies and a Magic 8-Ball—only more absurd, and inhabited by a very grumpy developer/musician ghost trapped inside a bath toy. Built for anyone facing a creative block or a tough choice, it’s a decision-making tool disguised as divination cards. Shake the duck (or click a button), and let Rob—our senior ethereal consultant in a wizard hat—deliver a randomized perspective prompt designed to break mental loops and spark lateral thinking .

  • Fun-First Framework: Entertainment hooks you; utility keeps you coming back.

  • Delightfully Absurd Authority: A dead developer offering life advice is ridiculous—yet strangely credible.

  • Pattern Interrupts: Each card flips your usual thought patterns on their head, so you can stop over-analyzing and start doing.

Whether you’re stuck on plot development, career moves, or just can’t decide what to have for lunch, Rubber Duck Tarot has your back—and your subconscious—in mind.

The United Gobbledom Chronicles

A serialized satire that chronicles an absurd avian republic from its colonial landing to a “Civil Wargle,” through modern-day culture wars, and into an imagined future. Inspired by Anatole France’s Penguin Island, each episode refracts real American epochs through the antics of feathered characters, revealing how national myths are hatched, plucked, and re-feathered over time:

The United Gobbledom Chronicles is a serialized satire that follows its feathered republic from the Pluckitans’ colonial landing through revolution, a “Civil Wargle,” modern-day culture wars, and on into an imagined future. Borrowing the sweeping, era-spanning blueprint of Anatole France’s Penguin Island, each episode refracts real American epochs through absurd avian antics, exposing how national myths are hatched, plucked, and re-feathered in every age.

Expect rollicking humor, sharp social commentary, and way more turkeys in tiny colonial outfits than you ever imagined possible.

Stay tuned for launch updates, beta invites, and sneak peeks.
