New Bot Day! “Intergalactic Robot” hails from 1998, the Beastie Boys music video for their song “Intergalactic.” This giant robot transports the 3 MCs to Tokyo; then fights a squidhead kaiju and breakdances. “Trying to change the world, I will plot and scheme!”

110 Hours of CSS Battle

Preamble In Summer 2014 I installed it and started playing Clash of Clans. To keep in touch with my godson, which kind of worked. In January 2024 I quit. At the time I said: I stopped playing regularly a few months ago. I look periodically but I’ve lost the habit. Probably I’ve replaced it with...

New Bot Day! Mr. Peanut appears in the 2025 film The Electric State, originally a visual novel from 2018, while the company mascot first appeared in 1916. In the film, Mr. Peanut has been exiled to The Exclusion Zone in an alternate, apocalyptic 1994. He leads other exiled robots who are sentient and fighting for their rights and dignity. He’s a wise leader. Welcome to my collection, Mr. Peanut. We all want dignity and justice here.

Saw some fish in the water including the first stingray of the year. Sandcrabs coming out. By-the-wind sailors beached. Sandcrabs are showing in force. I think it’s springtime in the water.

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...

Reboot, Renewal

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...

“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...
