For Jo’s IndieWeb Movie Club of June 2025, I watched 2 movies. Mary Poppins and Saving Mr. Banks. I find myself not sure how I feel, or rather having too many feelings about each to really narrow down my feelings to a pithy recommendation about the films. I feel like I could write an essay, or at...

Some work was being done on my favorite pier today. I think it is near ready to reopen.
It’s been a long week
Next week the Comics-themed group show starts up at Subterranean coffeehouse in North Park. It’s a great neighborhood to come hang out in. Bookstores, art stores, costume stores, used toy stores all in a tight radius. Great coffee and food and a mellow hangout. Follow @arthang_sandiego & @subterranean_northpark for more and get down there. I have a piece up called “Cousins.” There are some really amazing pieces for this group show.

GIFs, Seriously.
The Internet Archive is a treasure! It cares about the longevity of the web. It cares about history. It cares about GIFs. “GIFs, seriously?” asks a person I just made up who underestimates the value of a GIF. Yes, “GIFs, seriously.” I reply to that made-up-person. They released a search engine for animated GIFs a...
Got a thumbs up from a pair of boys on the shore after one ride.
24 June 2025.
This was a brief session but a good one.
less of the world’s ills reach here
Waves were licking at the bottom of the pier. Big and fun.

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...
Facebook Messenger!
Michelle Lee appears to be some sort of fitness and travel influencer in her (you will be shocked) mid-20s. She is fit and attractive. It’s not a particularly old account. Michelle Lee 👋Hi Joe Can I ask you a question? Joe Crawford Ok Michelle Lee Here’s the thing. Lately you’ve been popping up in my...
MORE GOOD DAYS
OB today was fun again. Not much else to say. Not today. Be well. Ride waves.
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...
Pier adventures continue
I met a mermaid at OB today
