Turtle!

I never played with Turtle graphics. I think I came to computers before that was the tool folks used to show off computers to kids. Angelo added a Turtle interpreter which is pretty fun. I added to his code, my addition adds a yellow square. He has an export tool to get a graphic out....

Pass along music

Thanks to Jo’s post Playlist of the Week I added the song Metamorphosis by the band Infinity Song. The link for that mix is here. As of this writing it has 57 songs on it. I’ve talked about my annual playlists before but I add the songs as they hit me and I like them....

Put “romance” on the shopping list

North of Crystal Pier today I had a pretty good session of waves today. There’s a swell that came in but mostly is making Orange County have good waves. But we got a pulse of swell too. So it was good. Afterward, as I was walking to my car, I spotted a fellow at a...

Saturday at OB

I’m keeping on posting every time I hit the beach. Waveride quality keeps going up. I’m better at riding waves partly because I’m learning and practicing new actions. It’s a sort of dance with the waves. It’s a kind of conversation. I periodically update the videos page with new videos captured because I use Dawn...

It’s awesome when I’m not the only non-surfboard person in the lineup. Terrific morning.

I can’t hate a graffito of PaRappa the Rapper. From OB this morning. @gwenthegoblin appreciated the lack of amplified music and amazing sea smells.

Checkpoint: June Gloom

It’s June! And it’s gloom. I am well. To the extent that the world is, besides me being fine, not fine. The world is not okay but the world soldiers on. But my spirits are good. But then, when I, as a wee lad, lived in the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos I was also relatively...

On Los Angeles

…the moderates are always, either consciously or unconsciously, working with the authoritarians and enabling their agenda. We are, according to those who want nothing more than to maintain control, supposed to protest enough, but not too much. Because we should rely on them. Because we need to maintain our subservient position under the party as...

30 May / Pacific Beach

One way I track my beachgoing is to post each time I go. Often on Instagram first, then this blog. Or This blog first, then IG. In this case I’m doing it late, from last Friday. I’m writing this on 2 June, but slapping a date of 30 May on it. And it was gorgeous....

Latest Shutdown

I have talked before about my mistrust of big platforms, and fear of digital video. Along those lines, an email I got 8 days ago: SUBJECT: Facebook’s Video Storage Policy Is Changing: Download Your Old Live Videos In The Next 7 Days Download your old Facebook Live videos by May 25. We are sending you...

I will keep trying…

As much as my CSS Battles are me, writing HTML and CSS and talking about it, sometimes I talk like I blog. From my video o May 25, 2025: …so much of any coding task is trying. And trying again and trying again and failing and failing and trying and trying and failing and failing...

Landing a trick

An unfortunate sea lion As I left OB today I spotted a sea lion lying down up the beach. I approached it. It eyed me, its hindflippers twitched. I could see its ribs retracting as it breathed. It was in trouble. Before the session. Starfish and mussels on the pier. Before that? It was a...

A Landscape of Things To Read

Tracy Durnell recently posted Browsing as Thinking: I’ve been having fun lately browsing as thinking, as in, searching a broad category of terms and exploring what’s connected to that node, in service of the things I want to write about. Essentially, intentionally doing a “bad search” as a means of survey. There’s a character in...

On Sensible Shoes

Jeremy Cherfas inquired about sensible shoe solutions in his post Sensible Shoes. I have an answer that’s not specific, but is something I feel may be useful and worth a read for others: I don’t have quite the same level of shoe and foot troubles. But I have thoughts on shoes. I also am old...
