I typo [often] therefore I am [human]1. I never learned good technique. Sorry Mavis, but back at Milford Mill High School in the late 1970s, I waved off the opportunity to take a typewriter class. I must have said something like, “in what alternative universe am I ever going to be spending time typing?” I […]
Actually I am just making the images. I am not quite getting to the No Silo stage, just trying to make a stance. Just a weak, wavering stance. But as I gaze around this old web, seeing even more adherence to putting ones words, media, messages into web silos, as aptly described in a comment […]
Another of the quarter baked drafts that have been bounding around the noggin that now has a reason to see some light. Or maybe it is an excuse to give my pal Todd Conaway a Plain Old Telephone Call so we can rehash a long going topic. As I edit this long/unfinished draft, I can […]
I’m here for the first check mark for my effort of counter Tsundoku or reducing that pile on unfinished books. This is hardly a book report or detailed analysis, really I could just say, I’m done” and move on to the next. As an eager web fan boy, I put my order in for Tim […]
Sadly link rot is a growth industry. Most every effort these days of looking things up to find references ends up with a visit to the Wayback Machine. If that is not in your web tool belt, you are missing out. In combing through my own rubble pile of posts here, I nearly always come […]

The streak (as if it means anything) continues into 2026. The usual resets […]
Who would not answer “yes” when asked if they would like a dose of serendipity. A word that conjures a bit of magic. A rather well worn tag around here. So I am coming back again to relish in my own weird obsession, not saving vats of time asking LLMs to do my tasks but […]
I made one of those non-resolutions (I prefer them as silent promises) to make an effort each month of 2026 to mop up some of my digital messes. No pledges here. To be honest, some like this one are not really all that much of a technical achievement, no where in the neighbour hood of […]
It’s no big secret as I have been sharing for weeks, that we have a new dog in our lives. Meet Pimm, a now 8 month old black labradors / mix puppy we adopted end of November. Get ready to say awwwww. The story of how Pimm came to be with us is a grand […]
Again and again I find the most interesting things that turn up in my various web pokings is not what is served up on a platter as an answer like search or now spewed into prosaic all knowing “intelligence” by generative machines. It’s what I find accidentally, often when i am looking for one thing […]
