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…

Precepts to Live by
What follows are some good ideas I’ve picked up over the years. I doubt that all of them are applicable in all situations (except perhaps for the first five), so treat them like salt and pepper: use them when you need them. Use your words. People aren’t mind readers. “No” is a complete sentence. When …read more…
Why I don’t donate to Wikipedia (and other things)
I cleaned out my screenshots folder last weekend. These are among the goodies I found: I have experienced this in the past. I don’t know if it’s still a thing or not. Also this: When I was a kid in the 80s, watching these films, I didn’t live a life like any of them. (I …read more…
Welcome, Refugees of Humanity
January 3, 2021 I’m not doing a new year resolution. I’m not. I absolutely refuse. I saw someone on Instagram say that you should do “intentions” instead of resolutions. I’m not sure what the difference is. Surely resolving to do something and intending to do something are pretty much the same thing? In reality, that’s …read more…

Just a few things I noticed when looking through my spam folder.
Goodbye, DreamHost, mostly
I ran into this thread in the DreamHost forum the other day: A Better Payment Process Hi DH, As someone who tends to have something to renew on a monthly basis, the payment process is incredibly frustrating. I used to have a form prefiller configured for the payment page, but now that DH has switched …read more…
Goodbye, Instagram
So, a few months ago, this happened… Let’s talk about what this actually means. First of all, remember that when someone gives you something for free, such as Twitter, or Facebook, you are not the user. You are the product. Your actions are tracked, and that data is used to sell ads to companies who …read more…
