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.

For the IndieWeb Movie Club I watched 1997’s The Castle IWC April 2025: hosted by Zachary Kai Usually I will read and research before seeing a film. I don’t mind spoilers. So a trailer and a wikipedia synopsis would be a first step. For this, I took it on faith that it’d be worthwhile. The...

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...

How it started, how it’s going. Constancy The other day I found a turban shell in the sand. I’ve found a few before. That day I set it to soak in a mild bleach solution. I check it periodically. At least daily. I have a sort of constancy about it. It’s not gardening. (as in...

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....
