Items from my life, and therefore, completely boring.
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…
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.
What life is like today: ice, laundry, work, and pizza.
I wish I knew who drew this. If you do, please drop me a comment and let me know. I originally found this on imgur, but it’s too important not to share.
I got a little bit worried a while ago because I went to visit Wil Wheaton’s podcast page Radio Free Burrito and it was gone. Gone! I admit, I may have shed a few tears. After all, listening to Radio Free Burrito is what got me interested in podcasting and basically gave me a hall …read more…
I was going through some old bookmarks the other day, when I found this entry by Wil Wheaton: On January 28, 1986, I was home from school with the flu. I remember that, no matter what I did, I couldn’t get warm, so I was sitting in a hot bath when my mom knocked on …read more…
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.
If you want to know what life is like with ADD…
Or, if you just need to borrow some cling film…
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).
A long time ago, I published this because at one point I was an enthusiastic believer in the power of social media. No longer. I haven’t posted on Instagram for a while. This was my last post: View this post on Instagram …read more…
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…
Adult me has always detested January. After three solid months of prepping for and celebrating holidays (Hallowe’en, Thanksgiving, Christmas), January is just boring. There are no big holidays that you celebrate with friends or family, the days are short and cold, the skies are always a formless grey, filled with a blanket of shapeless clouds. …read more…
I don’t know where this originally came from. I found it the other day when I was clearing out some papers in my office. When you are alone, mind your thoughts. When you are with friends, mind your tongue. When you are angry, mind your temper. When you are with a group, mind your behavior. …read more…
