Shhhh! Digital Media and the future

A new era is beginning for Shhhh! Digital Media, and one that is going to bring more challenge, but also potentially allow for much more growth.

I've recently taken steps to relocate the domain registration back to the country of Shhhh! Digital Media's true origin, though I've done this both with a sense of sadness and nostalgia, for my previous registrar, whose offices are located in a city in the United States whose name has been synonymous with the superhero genre of stories since their early years.

I'd like to take a moment to thank Squarespace, who handled my domain registration and support requests with the utmost professional and friendly attitude, while remaining firm when need be. They have been a part of Shhhh! Digital's backbone for several years, and I'd like to thank them for being one of the few reliable and stable elements that were part of the Shhhh! Digital family throughout that time. Great service and great support. I don't think that anyone could ask for much more and my words are the most sincere.


The Shhhh! Digital Media domain over the next day or two might experience some "hiccups" (not as a result of our July first party mind you), but as a result of this transition to a new domain and host.


If you should lose access to Shhhh! Digital Media, then use the following url until we've set up the servers to point correctly from our new registrar. That will be the first step.


https://shhhhdigitalmedia.blogspot.com


This transition should be fairly brief, but in case it isn't, you have an address you can use to access Shhhh! Digital Media if and when the lapse in domain affects the current dns cache of servers between you and use.


There will be much more beyond that, but I'll start here.

In saying that, this situation kind of reminds of a quote by fellow author T.S. Eliot:

"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time."

Perhaps Shhhh! Digital Media will know its home for the first time this July 1st, 2026.

Thank you to our friends throughout the world. Shhhh! Digital Media would not be the social success that it is without you. Its good to know that a mountain of words and a smattering of artwork can still appeal to those spirit searchers out there, seeking to learn the secrets of the universe without laying her bare.

I bid you farewell, but not for long, for today will bring much more content.

My Stance On AI... (meaning both Shhhh! Digital Official and Shhhh! Digital Legacy)

Hi. Shhhh! Digital Media here.


I just watched an interesting video that brings up a very good point with regard to how AI proliferates into the many different areas of society, and how we need to be aware at the very least, and vigilant with regard to how the investment money pushing this move forward is being used.


Now this video I happened to watch was for a situation in the United States, but I think the message presented by the video very much applies to society as a whole, especially with regard to our educational system here in Canada, in Europe, in Asia, and in countries throughout the world.




The content producer's point I believe wasn't an attack on AI, nor was it presenting the idea that AI should be expelled from presence in schools. The video presents the fact that as with any newly arrived technology, especially one that's been heralded for nearly a century as being a key force that will revolutionize society (read the works of Isaac Asimov, Philip K. Dick, Dr. Michael Crichton, Frank Herbert, Fritz Lang or watch any Ridley Scott movie from the Alien franchise, or any of a number of James Cameron movies including Aliens), that we should be mindful of how taxpayer dollars are being spent with regard to integration of these technologies.


Kids are going to get exposure to AI no matter what we do, and most of the relevant ways that AI will shape education will probably be the most invisible to us and that's already occurring. Think of it, any Google search you do now (as with just about any other search engine) includes a breakdown and analysis by AI with regard to the subject matter and that's an important thing to consider.


I know that the first thing that I do when I don't know about something is that I search for it on the internet, and now we're given a comprehensive breakdown about the subject and can even interact with the search through AI, which allows us to navigate the immense search results, and narrow down aspects of the topic very quickly. Just three years ago, that didn't exist. AI is and will undoubtedly be involved in education and already is in more ways than we can count.


I think that the point though of this video that I watched was not to kill AI, or investment in it. It was to be cautious about where money is invested, especially when the influx of that money is intended to improve key areas of infrastructure. So I found this video to be interesting and well presented with regard to this particular case.


Though keep in mind that I am not a Member of Parliament nor involved in politics at all, but I do vote and file taxes and am appropriately concerned as to where our Canadian investment in infrastructure is spent.

Shhhh! Digital Media Presents: Era of the Spellbound: Episode 14 - The Victory of Disaster (Finished June 13, 2026 23:00 EST)


Despite this storyline taking place mostly in Shepperton off the Thames, United Kingdom, it is entirely written in Moss Park, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Shepperton is close to my heart in ideas rather than kilometers.


Temu? I am looking forward to the shipment of my order. You've totally got an awesome thing going there. And I want some. So I bought some.

Thank you to PC Express! Great service, great staff and a credit to the entire quality assurance paradigm.

Definitely, the recent grocery GST Grocery Bursary was very helpful in filling my fridge and cupboards with groceries, and enough to pay some bills and enjoy an evening or two over the weekend. Its great to see our tax money come back to us. That alleviation of weight comes back to the economy in many ways. Both promoting domestic businesses through consumer spending, and encouraging imports and exports through reciprocal trade in a buyer confident market economy.


Been eating a home made modified version of Yakisoba, with real bacon, egg, rice and veggies and its completely awesome!


Don't let bad actors employed by banks, finance companies, finance institutions or collectors hold your identity hostage. Lets take our human rights and our power back away from these criminal cults. Report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre and make them responsible for their identity crimes. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre is backed by the RCMP and OPP and helps Canadians in the fight against identity theft and identity fraud.


I'm not a security guard and have never worked as a security guard, but its an honest way to make a living for an honest person.


Finally, anyone who reads this and interprets it as my attempt to steal John Penny's history is full of you know what. I've always been attracted to Southeast Asian women as much so as I am to European women. The truth is that there are some people that didn't want that to be the case, or wanted it to remain hidden so that anyone could wear that impression as their own, which required that in the case that I met someone Southeast Asian, that said group and cult would do everything they could to sabotage such a relationship. John Penny's history is his history, and my history is my own and I have nothing but respect for those who kept their principles back in those days, both women and men. 

Besides, its a hate crime to replace a person's identity in order to replace any aspect of their being that is protected by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Human Rights Act of Canada (including their skin colour and their religion), and the United Nations. My name is not Michael Jacks. My name is not Shane. My name is not Sydney.


This content, all of it, meaning this post and every other post, is produced in Canada, and both publisher emails are mine. brian.joseph.johns@shhhhdigital.com and fav.inbox@gmail.com. They don't belong to two different people, and more people should name their emails after their true identity. The fav.inbox when I created it meant favourite inbox, long before I had plans to turn Shhhh! Digital Media into a publisher.


One two three...

I write. I play. I contemplate. I gripe. I rationalize. I ponder. I bash. I admire. I lust. I feel. I laugh. I live in the memory of an intensity I had when I was younger. An idealization of the energy and fearlessness of being alive. When you arrive at a certain point in life via time, no matter how vital you feel, you'll know exactly what I mean. That's when you need to pay the most attention, yet ply the most wisdom.

In the midst of this experience: I try to hit each of these organizations myself, with something when I can.
