Go listen to some Jill Sobule.

In October, in the comments to my post Going To Concerts, my good friend Erin, recounting concerts we’ve been to, reminded me that “we saw Joe Jackson & Jill Sobule at SDSU Open Air” Amphitheater. That was on August 8, 1991. I read a quote from Michael Stipe when I was still young saying “lyrics...

On “NSFW”

My friend Krisztianna has recently shared a post: My Patreon is 18+, And Staying As Such. Go read it, it goes into the limits one is obliged to accept when we use services with corporate rules which end up hiding content, deleting content, or even banning users. It brought to mind two of Paul Watson’s...

In Reboot!, a blog post from September 25, 2009 I wrote: i have been a poor system administrator. sorry. Like a an Windows machine, if I don’t get system updates and regular reboots I get infested with viruses and malware and all manner of bad behavior. This hardware is flaky. In the past 96 hours...

Moo Cow Creamer

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...

The Castle (1997)

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...

2 hours foggy and drizzly. Not good, but not really bad either. My hobby is weird.

“I’m expressing with my full capabilities”

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 believe she did this because her own expression was mostly suppressed by her parents. Mostly her mother. But parents are a system and both are...

At WonderCon this weekend I inquired from a vendor about aVoltes V robot (a great deal at $1600. Not today), wearing my Voltes V t-shirt. Americans see my shirts (I think I have 6 different ones now) and think Voltron. But Pinoy men of the right age know who it is. The vendor inquired as to how I knew the bot. “I lived in Manila in 78/79.” He asked if I spoke Tagalog and I said “no” but mustered a “magandang gabi.” His partner gifted me with this “Ay Naku!” (My Goodness!) hanger to my badge. 40 years after living overseas I’m still learning how kind and wonderful Filipino culture and people are. Let’s Volt In.

Zero Injuries!

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,...

Hey it’s me

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...

Turban shell progress

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...
