The days of lamenting linkrot seem quaint and prosaic. Right now, as I type, the world is witnessing the wholesale strip mine clearcutting of the web for the ego-flexing kicks of the lunatic in charge. Not many of us can do much as individuals (besides feel the musky stench weight) but luckily many Good People […]
Tis here a bubbling goo of a post. It’s been oozing in my drafts folder, the one between my ears. And iits actually not even new. But I have been getting these questions from a few corners, seeing the ripples everywhere. I am already lined up to vent my opinion on at least two panels […]
Getting rid of crap is very satisfying. Especially large piles of stuff that maybe once had value, but now just reeks with the stench of rotting, wet discard food.

On the road to picking up the blog pace, I was tagged by Brian Bennett, and I will preface with the same thing about some dread of doing a blog version of a mail chain letter. But I follow Brian’s blog (old school style) and hey, what better blog topic is there? Why did you […]
A good few strides into 2025, it’s time to do real Blog Blog Blog. The backlog blog blockage is about to break folks, head for high land! My brain is full of drafts, and a window of left open browser tabs is calling to be used. This one shall as usual be chock full of […]
In the grand tradition of end of the year blog efforts, the summarizing and blog navel gazing… I failed on finding the energy. And I’m late. But with the inspiration of a legendary academic research paper, I bring you my year in blogging. Blog blog blog “Blog Blog blog Blog Blog Blog“. Blog blog blog: […]
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 […]
