We are all a bit poor–those of us who are not rich–these days. We dream of making things and monetizing. What do kids want to do when they grow up? They want to be streamers and YouTubers. That’s the visible way to make money. 25 years ago the culture derided women who appeared in video...

Places on the Bluesky map
bluesky-map.theo.io is a map of Bluesky. The creator, Theo Sanderson, posted this: I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users – see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I’ve seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail My handle is my website, verified with a DNS...

“Mildly Dynamic Website” — (hey that’s how I work)
Reading, as I do, a lot of blogs and ingesting “the web as she as spoke” as much as possible, I come across lots of jargon. Much of it is narrowly helpful, but ultimately, optional. But just a few minutes ago I came across Larry Garfield’s post Mild Dynamic Websites Are Back which led me...

We are in a web renaissance now.
James mentioned the other day on his website a conversation we had during a Co-Unworking Zoom. To whit: It is perhaps because of this that, when I asked Joe yesterday “How can we achieve a web renaissance?”, he replied “I think we’re already in it.” Renaissance means “rebirth.” It’s not a quantifiable term. It’s a...

15 seconds.
Before the session. Today I took off on a wave and after it broke I ended up underneath it for 21 seconds. I think it’s accurate to say that I was “held down” for 15 seconds of that time. I did not like that. There’s a sign in the window of a lifeguard tower that...

HWC Loops! (San Diego Edition)
In 2024 I wrote about loathing and fearing web video (Unfrozen Caveman Web Video). And while video does often cause me unhappiness, I do enjoy playing with it. I’ve got videos of bodysurfing and my reels. It’s got me using stuff like ffmpeg and Procreate Dreams to do fun stuff. This short animated AVIF file...

Friday Music
And the end of this video of the band Blusher coverings Kesha’s “Your Love is my Drug” they start to cover ABBA’s “S.O.S.” and I find myself really wanting to hear more of that. I’ll be seeking out other work by Blusher. Triple J is Australian public radio of a sort and does fine work....

Homebrew San Diego 2026
I am sitting in LeStat’s on Park in San Diego drinking an iced Vietnamese coffee. It’s delicious. At one time I ran a mailing list called WebSanDiego. It was a OneList list, then it was an eGroups list, then it was a Yahoo!Groups list. But it was always a mailing list. It was what passed...

Right over the berm, great big waves I played in.

Parking was a problem today OB. Lots of people. Lots of happy beach goers. Lots of people on the streets. I found parking up on the hill to the south of the pier. I’ve never parked here. The views are nice.

a low boil
Yesterday I took the castoff carcasses of chickens past and boiled them. I added carrots, celery, onion, salt, whole peppercorns, apple cider vinegar, and a bay leaf. I boiled it over the course of a quarter-day into a rich, flavorful bone broth. When it was done, I filtered it several times and poured it into...

Yesterday I went to the shore but conditions were not quite right. So I punted. It was the right decision. Today: I went to the shore and I went in. It was slight, but satisfying.

Virginia Hats
Last week the weather was mild. It’s almost always mild here in San Diego. We were walking to the beach: Pacific Beach. We were headed to the spot on the south side of Crystal Pier. It was Sunday: game day. All the sports bars in San Diego are active that day. And it was MLK...

PB Today
Panorama From today at Pacific Beach It was a quiet weekend. But a positive one. I have some interesting things coming up this week. I’m hoping for the best. The world… is frustrating. I keep adding new videos of me riding waves at /videos. They’re mostly for me. I can see some progress but mostly...

Good lord, also QOTD
Another person was killed today in Minneapolis by agents of the United States government. As an older person I have a hard time with blanket slogans. But the thing we call “ICE:” United States Immigration & Customs Enforcement not doing a good job: it kills people and kidnaps. Started in 2003. End it NOW. Tell...

Senior Yearbook Photo
Take a look at this. The text is purposefully opaque. Don’t try too hard to read it. That’s my senior photo. I went to University of San Diego High School. It’s does not exist today. Condos replaced the campus a few decades ago. It’s an incoherent juxtaposition of photo and text. I wish 16-year old...

Fog encroached on the beach as sunset neared. I called out “MARCO!” as a joke and got a chuckle from a fellow waverider.
