Web Site Facelift
I’ve given the site a new theme - I felt the old theme was too small and cramped, the site needed some room to spread out and breathe. (I.e. I’m getting old and my eyes are getting worse, so I needed a bigger font.) The color palette still needs work, but I’m pretty happy with the general layout.
I’ve been getting really into cryptocurrency ( Read more... ) -
I think maybe it's time for me to shut this thing down.
I want a place to write that's safer and a smaller, closer circle than Facebook is, but no one seems to be here anymore. I'm not even sure anyone saw my last post, and my friends feed currently shows just two posts, both imported from DreamWidth from someone I only ever knew on LJ and haven't talked to in probably a decade. I think LJ is done. ( Read more... ) -
We’re back!
My website is now back online following a long outage precipitated by a rather nasty hacker attack and an almost-as-nasty unannounced decommissioning of the servers my web host was storing my site on. It’s good to be back online!

I hate gratitude.
Gratitude is so venerated in our culture that it feels awkward to say that, despite my indifference to most cultural norms. Gratitude is one thing that nearly everyone agrees on, from the mainstream (check it out, there’s a whole holiday based on it in November - October if you’re Canadian), to the spiritualists who insist that gratitude is not ( Read more... ) -
Exhaustion.
So tired from the work-week that I came home Friday night and went immediately to bed. I was asleep by 6 PM, and woke up at 3 AM. Which I suppose explains why I'm having breakfast at 4 AM ( Read more... ) -
Testing the LJ app for iPad.
I think my audience here is now... Two? At least among people I actually know. There may be as many as two more that I've met once or only know in Internetland out there. So, hi.
I've drifted away from writing, but want to reel it back in. I feel like my skill at it has atrophied a bit and also like perhaps there is a vein of deeper talent and ( Read more... ) -
I'd've sworn I'd posted here more recently than that...
...but I guess I was thinking of my web site. Is this place still alive? -
Twain always has something relevant to say.
"The man who doesn’t read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them." -Mark Twain
A quick search of the interwebs turned up several instances of this quote on different sites, but no context. As such, I can't be certain whether it was intended solely in a literal sense, or if Clemens was using it as an example and a metaphor for a ( Read more... ) -
Chronic Writer's Block
It's been a long time since I've written. The longer it gets between posts, the harder it is to write. I feel a need to write, though, to... keep that channel open. I don't know who or where my audience is, though. Most of my Facebook friends have abandoned this place in favor of (I assume) Facebook. But Facebook isn't a place that... feels ( Read more... ) -
What would Tony Stark do?
Lately I've been using this question to help me guide my decisions through the course of the day. The answer usually turns out to be one of three things ( Read more... )
