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...

Scuffle between hippies in the parking lot at OB today before I went out. Left me feeling weird before my session.

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...

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...
