“Raildog is the Ansr” but the question is how the heck did I end up following a curiosity trail where logic and the dull stasticical parroting of GenAI leaves a mind wanting? I blame / credit Jim Groom. He posted today of his pleasure in the saner mode of travel. It got me thinking to […]
My dreams continue of an epic long blog post story of my journeys through digital storytelling, yet every thread ends up being a tangent worth chasing worthy of its own post. Yesterday it was the CoolIris gizmo I resurrected for 50 Web Ways to Tell a Story and today it was a pivotal conference I […]
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 will take the castigation for my ongoing use of Google Chrome as a web browser in 2026, mainly because of all the work flows and systems I have come to use over the years. One of these, maybe the most precious, is the one that distracts me from tasks. That;s right, because when most […]
This is the time of year for bloggers to be doing their year end deep reflection recaps, tallying up the numbers of posts, comments, and meticulously charting their data trends for how many eyeballs glanced at their pages.

I just can’t explain this habot/obsession. But I get curious about a public domain image that comes up randomly in my browser, and rather then W-O-R-K-I-N-G I am digging down the internet rabbit holes of curiosity. Yet another one spawned by the Free to Use Browser Extension, aka my curiosity portal. Today’s random image came […]
Yet another ode to links. Would there be a web without them? You can just click the ones the algos hand you, like candy, just one out from the social stream and back in. Or better yet, you can wend your own way down and through the tunnels and corridors. Join me in another path […]
There’s more to memory than just recall versus forgetting. I came across this brilliant read “To grow, we must forget… but now AI remembers everything” and it downs like the broligarchy thinks they just need to toss into the algorithms is a machine that never forgets? Forgetting is a feature of human memory“Infinite memory” runs […]
For me, the most interesting things happen far from the statistically averaged machine prediction zone. I can’t really explain how these marginalia bits of joy happen almost daily for me. I must be on a different internet than the one the social media choruses decry by the hour. Follow along for another trip down the […]
Here I go again. That darn crazy internet. One link catches sparkles my curiosity. I’ll just click and peek. I swear I won’t get distracted and start looking things up in weird archive. Just one more click… Two hours later I emerge from the rabbit hole smiling. And later I go back to where I […]
