Stop being a pawn of third party web hosts who only care to use your content for their own gains.
Oh my, the Ai sauce is oozing from Google’s search, for which many are predicting the Fu of Google Search is gone. Yeah, it’s a mess, but frankly, I still have my fleet of hone bookmarklet gizmos and customized search engines that I still get effective use out of. Quite a few of the wrenches […]
There is a myth. Cue the string section. That there was once a place for all to gather, share, be festive, develop new connections, every course a hashtag, topple a few governments, people power. Then came an evil billionaire who ruined it all, those who gathered were cast out, a diaspora. No end. Yes the […]
More in the little web joys of selk tinkering. Rewards you never get by pouring your houghts into some packaged medium sized substack of a LinkedIn space. Self-stylin; as it were. Way back in the pre lock down era of January 2020 I added a little bit of CSS to this blog thang that put […]
Each passing day of trying to read on the web becomes a sad game of dodging pay walls, peeling off pop up pleas for subscriptions, and scraping away the barnacle-like encrustation of more and more ads. Witness the word of the year as coined and preached by Cory Doctorow … the wave of Enshittification. As […]
I am more than comfortablly qssured that no generative AI can really hallucinate my writing. See those trademarked typos? Me. See a quirky nonsensical title? Me. I digress, as usual.

My blog draft is up in the old grey matter, and I can’t seem to start typing in this box (not a prompt one) until I have a metaphor image and a title. Hardly efficient. I have done that. Just because it is 2023 and I loathe doing this, I asked the weakest LLM (free […]
Hello blog it’s been a while, and his post has been idling in neutral. Just about everyone has written their bird song post for Twitter. I won’t refer to it by some algebraic like single letter, nor to “The platform previously known as Twitter”- it always was, is, and in death spiral, just silly Twitter. […]
I never would say that Domains of Ones Own (DoOO) has quote/unquote died, but certainly it’s post peak witnessing the withering of blog posting in lieu substacking and the reach for Google Docs more than anointing a web site. Like many who cling to a few, I have to glance at the pack of 10+ […]
Oi. My clever blog post title generator is not really jelling this morning (the unArtificial quasiIntelligence needs more coffee). The VHS tape for #ReclaimOpen 2023 has reached the end spool, and people are dusting their blogs off to reflect on the tri-part questions of the Open Web: How We Got There, Where We Are, and […]
Just typing the “t” word brings all the smelly fetid connotations. Still, twitter can be a swell place, Wally. The writing on the wall is happening for a string of my web sites and some silly experiments that likely the world will not suffer to be without. And while this week we are hearing of […]
