I do still use Tumblr. I see great stuff there sometimes. I rarely import things from there to here. But for this, I am making an exception. And for you nerds, remember that every public Tumblr blog has an RSS feed but also culture on Tumblr means usernames may change which means urls change. But...

This post is part of the IndieWeb Carnival for March, 2024 hosted by Pablo. The theme? “self-expression.” Preamble: Mom My mother encouraged me to express myself all the time.

I hit the beach late. When I was walking into the water a stray surfboard was tumbling toward the shore. Sure enough, there was a surfer working his way in, chasing his stray board. I stopped it. That’s me, handing it off to the surfer. “I guess the session is over!” the young man quipped,...

I keep adding ride videos as I get them. None I’m really very pleased with but I can see progress occurring. Maybe more importantly, I can feel progress occurring. I am seeing INTO THE BARREL of waves periodically. Before they collapse and leave me in whitewater. And I know my limits. I was north of...

It’s upgrade and cleanup season. I moved the old noke dot us site into the archive. And I archived the Git repo. And added it to my prior projects. I created a new page to enumerate my robots: /robots. I made a new header. I also deprecated some domains I will not do anything with....
