How to Survive on the Internet in 2025
Life is tough, especially now. While the internet used to be a fun place where you got to hang out for a few hours every once in a while, now it’s a place where we have to be because that’s where everything is nowadays—it’s almost impossible to do regular banking in person any more. So …read more…
News both personal and local
It’s been a while since I’ve posted to my personal YouTube channel, so I felt that some sort of explanation was in order: Anyway, I will have more to say about that in a podcast, I’m sure. Thanks for watching!
The Forest of Spam, part 6
Ah, spam. Now that it’s here, it never really goes away, does it? It’s like the herpes of the internet. It’s been a while since I’ve talked about spam, because what’s the point? And yet here we are, because now I’m not just getting regular spam, I’m getting AI spam…
Today is Sunday, September 28, 2025
Two days in the life—laundry, a trip to the pub, a walk, groceries, and then back to the grind. It’s almost October, and yet it still feels like summer when the sun is out. I’m not sure if that’s normal or something new. I’m not sure about a lot of things any more.

Blowing off spammer steam
I don’t always respond to spammers (it’s generally a bad idea), but sometimes I’m in a good mood and I respond with their own inadequacies. And of course, I update my junk mail settings to that I never have to deal with them again.

A Short History of America by R. Crumb
An accurate depiction of USian (i.e., “American”) history by R Crumb, with music and lyrics by Joni Mitchell (who is also American, because she is Canadian, which is part of America).
About all those self-help books you’ve been meaning to read…
I was going through some old files, and I found this in a journal entry from ten years ago: Ten years later, and I’m pretty much convinced that most of them are 5% common sense and 95% made-up bullshit about that little bit of common sense. To be fair, I guess this is to be …read more…
