This sounds entrancing, especially with the spooky like melty text splash screen, heard about just a few clicks ago in 404 Media as “‘Slop Evader’ Lets You Surf the Web Like It’s 2022” taglined “search the internet before AI”. A browser extension for avoiding AI slop. Download it for Chrome or Firefox. This is a search tool that […]
For no good reason have I been fiddling with a silly, old web site that has no bearing or real use beyond my own amusement. Can there be ever more a reason to domain your own web stuff? To do or not do what you wish? I’m not even sure why I even went looking […]
I both wince and smile when I see those proclamations about the web [internet] being broken. I’d like to know the field data that is based upon. To say this confidently, someone would have to visited and explored every single corner of the web. I for one have been exploring for 2 plus decades and […]
Somewhere in recent web travels I read someone’s post who had just discovered the insight and inspiration of Vannevar Bush’s seminal 1945 essay published in the Atlantic in 1945 As We May Think (linking to the open ACM version as sadly the original one from the Atlantic is stuffed behind their foul paywall).

Almost some fraction of a lifetime later, I am looking at my own house of truth as having been shaped as much as what I was taught by as much as what was never taught. Or Alan gets grapples with what the big academics talk about as positionally. And in so many big things in […]
Is the background music “Let’s get metaphysical” ? Nah, Just playing my own name game. I had to refrain from writing what is in the vein of declaration of blue as the sky color, but indeed “I like podcasts”. And I mean listening to them. My time for doing this in while driving, often on […]
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 […]
Two unrelated things get connected, yet another installment of loving all the links, worth making a wish for. In the daily ritual department, Cori and I enjoy our first cup of coffee and conversation in bed. Well, she’s the early riser who ventures down to fetch our fresh java. After that, heading downstairs, already my […]
Links, links, links. Happy [Link Loving] Web Day, being the 36th birthday of the World Wide Web, as it needed to be named at that time. As a well established adult at that age, you are confiden— okay enough web anthropomorphizing. One of those things I tag as webserendipity happened a few days ago, and […]
