More Output From SP1
June, 2026: Construction has begun in earnest on this page. Content is being reviewed and uploaded, and the structure is taking shape. Rather than repeating what’s contained in the paragraphs immediately below (since little has changed for the overall plan in two months), we’ll just provide a “jump link” to content that’s new, as of 6-10-26. Click here to go directly to the fresh stuff.

4/2/2025: Branching off from the “M” in B A S E B A L L 150 [dOt] C O M, this page will eventually become (hopefully) the main page for sp1works.com. SP1=Seaporter1, and this typist is the 1 (one) in Seaporter1. “We” are me, myself, and I, so taking that into consideration, site visitors can find a ready explanation for extended gaps between postings on my three domains and any perceived neglect. Believe me, between conducting all business connected with the Open Baseball League (OBL) — replaying 150 seasons worth of MLB history (actually, 155, counting “extra innings” from 2021-2025) with franchises that had to be constructed on an entirely new basis (from scratch, in other words), maintaining all stats and doing all computations all along the way — while engaged in other deep-research writing projects and computer-aided music composition (TEKTONA, my virtual band), I’ve consistently been — and continue to be — a busy guy. No complaints, just an FYI with a smile.
Maybe you’re familiar with my baseball history project and the associated web pages, and you might even have spent time checking out my Tektona MP3s that can be played or downloaded (all for free) whenever you get the urge to hear some “indie” retro-rock: Retro-Rock (+) MP3s available here. But there’s more output that is to be made available for those who enjoy reading in general and/or a serious pursuit of important theological/religious and political/worldview truths. I’ve written two officially-published works (both from BookLocker, 2024; thank you, BL!), and you can find the combo deal here: https://booklocker.com/books/13564.html and https://booklocker.com/books/13417.html (or search by ISBN at most popular bookseller sites: 9781958892985 and 9781958892510; author = Steve Rauen.
I say, “officially-published” works because they’re the only books that I’ve written (to date) that can be held in your hands, short of printing out copies of the PDF manuscripts yourself. But the fact is that I have written other book-length works that may be of interest to non-fiction readers (when discussing religious and political topics, I have very little patience for fiction; give me the truth). The older (PDF) works are mentioned in this context because, upon recent self-critical review, I think some do have merit, and I plan on bringing them out to the public via Portable Document Files on sp1works.com in the near future. That’s the plan, anyway: baseball research documents, MP3 music files, and one opinionated-person’s written offerings in serious subject areas are all on the way (God willing, that is). —SR, 4/2/2025
JUNE 7-13, 2026: UPLOADING SP1WORKS.COM (rough draft phase)
The plan: Load 1) My older theological-political works from 2001-2018, including PDF books and remnants, as well as Trutholio.com website content; 2) Eschatological works I’ve written, as well as recommended works that led me to form my perspective (Christian-Reformed-Preterist (full/consistent)); 3) Cosmological tools (to aid understanding of flat-earth/globe-earth and geocentric/heliocentric debates and the Biblical perspective); 4) Links to my baseball research and fantasy replays at my current domains: baseball150.com and retroplay.net; 5) Expanded (free-download) MP3 catalog (discography) of TEKTONA, “our” virtual retro-rock/hard rock (99% instrumental) band (click here for what’s already available now); 6) Other materials as they are produced or reworked to my satisfaction (in any category).
NOTE: In keeping with the seaporter1works.com theme, almost all of what will appear here will indeed be my work, with these exceptions: 1) Works produced by others that are copied and presented with permission (or in the public domain); and 2) LINKS to other authors/content creators with whom I generally align in the respective categories. 100% agreement in either direction is never to be implied or assumed, so please remember that these pages are not intended to open up discussion forums for which I haven’t the time or wherewithal to monitor. I’m just putting my own thoughts out there, folks!
[Upload staging area; organizing to follow, as of 6/10/2026]
Notes on this (old Trutholio.com) link and downloading: If your browser works effectively, it should pull up my Home page from November 7, 2018 (7.5+ years ago), just as I left it when moving on to other projects and websites. The Brave browser I use does reproduce the complete 43MB(!) file (runs to about 300 printed-pages’ worth in a single scroll), but I recommend patience in letting it properly load for online viewing (then click on “Skip to content” if that’s an option). I do NOT recommend trying to download the entire file to your own computer; I can’t guarantee success in that, nor can I make the claim that any particular hyperlink will still work!
