Hello again to all my readers and visitors, and an especially warm welcome to all the science and math lovers out there who are passionate about intellectual honesty and committed to it and are curious about what is possible and about the nature of reality and how to express it in all its myriad forms! I really appreciate your time and support, as always.
Anyway, contrary to my most recent post I made only just approximately ~2 months ago (which is rather recent at the pace that this website (JesseBollinger.com) has updated in recent years) I have decided to link to my newer much more active website here after all, so that those who wish to explore my random thoughts and creative work may benefit from doing so. As always, I hope to make a positive and constructive difference in the lives of all my readers and in humanity’s future as a whole, however I can.
My new site is a much more artsy and conventionally creative site, at least currently, but it is very active:
Yet, now that I have at last decided to link to it from my older site here, I will likely eventually expand out the new site to also have more overlap with this one over time for some parts of the site, such as probably publishing non-Amazon ebook versions of my published books over there at WraithGlade.com once I get around to it.
Anyway though, if you are looking for a bit of mild entertainment, I do already have a sampling of some of my art visible on the new site. As perhaps my favorite example, there’s a ghostly hand graphic on the main index page which I digitally sculpted and then converted to pixel art myself. You can also listen to some of my music compositions on the site too. I also have some random useful documents and links on there too. 📚😁
In other news, and perhaps most significantly (at least for me personally), I still am suffering through continued poverty ever since writing and publishing my Unified Logic book. I have never been able to discern any clear reason as to why, but perhaps it is because taking 4-5 years off to independently write you own book isn’t treated kindly by Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and is treated as a massive gap or something like that, or perhaps it has just placed me in a situation where I no longer fit cleanly into anyone’s preconceived categories of skills and thus perhaps I have got zero consideration for that “reason”. There are many other possible “explanations” too. I don’t know what the real reason is, honestly. It is quite frustrating, especially despite my earnest efforts.
Whatever the case may be though, my (already very small) savings are rapidly dwindling as of late and so I’m pushing lately for trying to establish some kind of independent income. It has been quite strange that even though I graduated near the top of my class in computer science I have never seen a dime of money from my CS degree that didn’t end up being spent on tuition debt, even to this day. The long-suffering poverty of living as a person of principles hardly seems fair, frankly, but it has never been much of a choice for me. Intellectual honesty and authenticity is just how I’m built and so I need to make it work reasonably well somehow. Along those lines (meaning for trying to find some independent income to at least be able to survive), I’ve set up a basic donation system (via Ko-fi) and linked to it on WraithGlade.com and will be expanding other related things too going forward.
My published books in contrast actually make net negative income in most months because the advertising costs of reaching mathematicians and other technical people is so high and the audience is so small relative to the small sales that it is very hard to even be profitable. Yet, I still advertise anyway, because I care about getting the ideas out there for the sake of benefiting other people and the future.
I could really use more support though! Anything at all would be a big help. The current trajectory of my finances is very unsustainable and it will only be a matter of months before my savings drop to zero, even despite exerting much effort to the contrary and with me buying almost nothing now in recent months.
Linking to any of my pages or posts that you found interesting would also be greatly appreciated. That helps more people become aware of my work. I also list several means of contacting me over there on WraithGlade.com and I also appreciate hearing from other people (as long as they behave wholesomely and ethically).
In any case, whatever the outcome, there’s a bunch of fun and/or useful and/or interesting random things over there on my newer site that you can explore. I also have a ton of outgoing links on the site which make it easy to branch off to other topics to explore as well. I hope to see some of you there!

As always, thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day/night! 🌄🌃👋
