Holy crap! I just remembered I have not updated this since last month… You would not believe I spend all my time in front of a computer. Apologies to my regular readers! Even the little blue ones!. I am so busy with only your readership as life preserver, being distracted by the shiny, just generally […]
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. Left Of My List I only realized yesterday when I drove for errands, and as usual, flipped on the Overcast player to […]
In a last 2024 spurt of Jim Groom #BlogOrDie spirit (hey, bava, where is THE post on that?) more of a small but interesting observation I had (gulp) a month or go on a visit to my doctor. I have to say as well how much I appreciate finding Dr B. While the Canada healthcare […]

Hey, I have another blog post in my drafts to finish, but now something intervenes. Gotta blog it before I bleep it out in the socials. Through that Grand Old Technology That Everyone Pretends is Dead But They Are Dead Wrong and from his Mastodon posts too, I know that Jim Groom and Michael Branson […]
Stay with me intrepid, devoted, or robotic scraping readers. I’ve got an associative trails journey to lay out here, all of which is made possible by the free, open web, the people who build onto it chunk by chunk, and the sheer joy of exploration.
