Joseph Carrabis here. This is my blog and obeys my rules.
Okay, it obeys my rules and my darling wife, Susan’s (that’s her on the right. Say hi. She won’t mind), rules.
This page takes the place of my email signatures. Normally, they look something like
A moron trained to punch a cash register seems a more skillful operator than a medieval mathematician trained to count on his fingers. A moron trained to use DreamWeaver seems to be a better typographer than a Renaissance limited to a few fonts of movable type. This is true in any discipline. Tools don’t make us smarter, the intelligence is in the tool. If tools made us smarter people wouldn’t be TXTing while DRVing. And if we make the tools too smart people cry that we’ve denied them their rights.
What right? The right to be stupid?
Not a problem. Be stupid on your own nickel. Don’t have accidents that cause my premiums to go up because now your being stupid on my nickel and I want my rights protected, too.
So if you want the right to be stupid, I want the right to say, “Sorry, no, that one’s yours. You clean it up.”

Bio: Joseph Carrabis is a master storyteller with a sharp sense of humor and linguistic expertise. Hailing from New Hampshire, USA, his passion for writing began at the tender age of seven while washing dishes with his older sister, Sandra. She’d read ‘Mission to the Heart Stars’ for a book report and shared her fascination and excitement over the story. Joseph, a plate in one hand and a dish towel in the other decided, “I want to give that to people.” With a career deeply embedded in evolving technologies, Joseph served as Chief Research Officer, Chief Neuroscience Officer, and Senior Research Fellow at several institutions and agencies while earning numerous awards for his journalism and trade technical writing.
Joseph refers to himself as boring – something loudly debunked by his readers and peers – and weaves wildly imaginative stories that dance on the boundary of the known and unknown sciences where natural, preternatural and supernatural intersect. Fans’ comments regularly mention Carrabis’ ability to bring together advanced mathematics, quantum physics, cybernetics, and neuroscience with believable multi-dimensional characters and spellbinding future technology. Joseph has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize, recommended for a Nebula Award, and received an honorable mention in ‘Writers of the Future’.
Outside of writing, Joseph spends his time with his wife, Susan, reading, walking his dog, talking around campfires, flying kites, and befriending wildlife. He thinks of music as a language of sound and movement and enjoys listening and playing the piano, clarinet, saxophone, and guitar. A facilitator for open-minded conversations, Joseph runs a monthly forum, Roundtable 360º, where creatives from a range of fields discuss what drives their souls to create.
