Throw a party, in 2025 Flickr announces the arrival of Creative Commons version 4.0 licenses (cough, 12 years in the works?). I’d seen the announcement banner on flickr, though gave it no notice (especially since I use CC0 on my own photos, no versions needed). That is until I spotted a note from Sarah Honeychurch […]
I get a little grumpy when I open a new browser tab and am not greeted by a random public domain image from the Library of Congress. It’s like someone taking a knife to my IV drip of small joys. This is enabled by a little gizmo I have taken under my tech wing, the […]
A three line title! There you go. I’ve written a few times about a favorite web diversion/excursion, triggered by a 6+ year old browser tool that does something magical. Think of how many times you open a new browser tab/window. What is there? White space? A few logos or thing the browser maker wants to […]
I feel father comfortable swimming in HTML and writing the stuff by hand (I thought at one time everyone would learn to write HTML). It never tops being refreshing to learn one more trick. This started with a Mastodon post by Bracken Mosbacker: It reminded me that I have many times in the last few […]
In the spirit of Groomian #BlogOrDie, rather than just append some more ideas to my recent post on podcast listening, why not just blog anew? No rules here except the ones I concoct.

There are little things one can still do without AC (Asking ChatGPT). But first, a word about blogging!

I’d guess he has a google alert for […]
I recently managed to fix an issue with a water pump I use for our irrigation projects that someone else had put together for me. The fix was round about. I did some web searching, found the culprit was likely a pressure switch, ended up swapping the whole pump out, rewiring it the same, and […]
Not that it means a hill of garbanzo beans to anyone, but I’ve pretty much stuck a fork in Twitter, the platform I will only call Twitter. I’m not deleting, I just logged out. Still, I have a number of projects, web sites, of trace importance to most but me, that are still encrusted with […]
There you go, a deliberately vague blog post title that give no real indication what this is about. Heck, at this point, 1.5 sentences in, I am questioning myself if I know. Note: I found this post hanging out in my Drafts. Was it left undone? Did I change my mind on publishing? I don’t […]
In the best Tom Woodward style1, this post is more a reference for me than most anyone else. Besides so many people are freaked out by the WordPress editor, who’s really gonna tweak a theme file? Me. Okay, I have a really old site that was part of the Networked Narratives fleet of sites (it’s […]
