Welcome!

This is the site of Kris Schnee. I do various things. General purpose journal: Here
Writing
I've written over 100 short stories and recently a novel, mostly fantasy and science fiction. Still trying to get a high-level sale, but I've gotten a little bit of money already for it.
My DeviantArt gallery (photos too)
Lists.integral.org: a set of story mailing lists I post to and read
Coding / Artificial Intelligence
I program in Python, and am interested in AI, especially in the work of Douglas Hofstadter. I see AI as needing "embodiment" and a form of independence to ever really become intelligent. Recently I built an AI testbed program for anyone to use.
Morningside: AI Testbed
Code: raw code and packaged programs
Screenshots
Generators: Web-based silly idea generators.
Old game design and AI journal
Politics
I advocate restoration of the United States Constitution as written and agreed to by the Founders' generation and later amended. By today's standards, that means being a libertarian capitalist, opposing much of what the US federal government currently does as illegal, and arguing for the legality of state-based, peaceful nullification and secession.
Anthro
I'm involved in the "anthro" fandom, also called "furry". No, I don't do the things you may've heard about re: the fandom. My involvement mostly means I read and write stories with anthroporphized animals in them, and like going to conventions where I hang out with friends to talk writing, play games and generally have fun.
Kacey Miyagami's art: One of the best anthro artists.
Ursula Vernon's art: Ditto.
ArtSpots: General furry art site (clean).
World Tree RPG: Amazingly detailed fantasy setting; see also Sythyry's Journal, which is set in that world.
Seasteading
Seasteading is the concept of colonizing the ocean, for instance by building permanent surface-based farms. Various people have tried and failed, but largely thanks to the Seasteading Institute, there's a movement toward making it practical.

Other
Homestar Runner: Silly cartoons.
Drudge Report: Politics news aggregator; obvious conservative slant.
The World of Rym: My collection of links to "Rym", a fantasy/SF setting created by artist Ollie Canal.
Rym RPG: "Sunlight": An online game I'm running.
