Personal stories written at the edge of sleep by an insomniac American—intimate, honest stories about the current state of the world and the cost of all things—both material and spiritual.

This site is largely under construction. It really just serves as a place to hang my résumé on-line. I'll be adding stories, essays, and videos in the near future... at least that is the plan.
Now, for a bio:
Scott Vranesh-Fallin was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and currently resides in Las Vegas, Nevada with his wife of 20 years and two cats.
By day he works an IT job. By night he works on his first novel and hacks on Scheme and Python code.
He has interests in cryptograpy, cryptology, and privacy.
A polyglot developer, he is working on becoming bilingual in human languages. He has a native's facility with English and is very much a beginner with Spanish, though he swears rather well using it.

I've always dabbled in coding... since I was a kid spending divorced dad weekends with my father. He'd take me to work at the phone company and sit me in front of a PDP-10. I taught myself C and Assembly Language out of boredom.
Feel free to take a look at my GitHub page, linked to by the button immediately below. There are a variety of projects represented there, from a kernel level security-oriented module to some hacking I did on a consumer-focused EEG toy. More will be uploaded when I get around to it.
View GitHub ProfilePrivacy is not a luxury—it is a precondition for free thought, free speech, and free association. Below are two tools I use and advocate for.
Tor, or "The Onion Router", routes your internet traffic through a distributed network of volunteer-operated relays, masking your IP address and browsing habits from surveillance, censorship, and corporate data harvesting.
I run a Tor middle relay called orwell. I'm sure there are plenty of orwell's in the Tor network but this one is mine. It costs me $6.00 USD and runs on Debian Linux, the only Linux distribution with a "social contract".
GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) is the open-source implementation of the OpenPGP standard. It allows you to sign and encrypt email, files, and communications so that only the intended recipient can read them.
If you wish to correspond with me privately, obtain GnuPG and write to ask for my public key—I am happy to share it.
I periodically publish a Substack on digital privacy, safety, and how to exercise your First Ammedment rights using Free and Open Source (FOS) software.
