Riverside Misadventures
I’ve been negligent lately in my research for the story I want to create. I haven’t, however, been completely disengaged according to all the notes and ideas jotted down. I don’t want to half-ass this but other responsibilities are taking over too. In the mean time, here is a sneak peek:
These are the pleasant distractions currently occupying my attention in no particular order…
Researching the three main tent poles to a story that’s been in my head for about a decade. Historical adventure/mystery, the science behind the story, and an exotic location.
My brain hurts and I need sleep but don’t want to lose momentum. Bring snacks and sodas.
The Dark Web sounds nefarious and scary but with the right tools, and a balls of brass, I can access and browse safely.
The deep/dark web refers to web sites that hide their web address and is only accessible by using encrypted tools like the TOR browser, the Tails operating system designed to boot from a USB flash drive, all from an ideally new, clean, low-cost computer. And forget about using social media sites such as Facebook or even Google. Use a search engine that won’t track you such as DuckDuckGo.
I’ve been exploring the deepest, darkest parts of the web for awhile now and it is fascinating in how it reminds me of the early, pioneer days of web 1.0.
This feels very much like exploring the frontier here because the possibilities and the risks are both real and exciting. More later.
