I just announced my little feed reader on Bluesky. If you're there I hope you'll follow it. Technically, this is how it works. I'm using the OPML file for my blogroll category on feedland.social to determine what's posted on Bluesky. When I add or remove feeds from the cat...

Fourth quarter of this Longhorns game is wild and way too stressful. Enjoyed the first few quarters, though! Yikes. 🏈

Lots of new books and films in the public domain today! Including the first version of Mickey Mouse with white gloves in The Opry House, available on the Internet Archive.

Just trying to make sure to remember to post these videos here, where they will actually be preserved over time. 🤘🪕

Love this post from Allen Pike, about magic and the seemingly impossible accomplishments just being a lot of work and planning:

The pianist whose fingers seem supernaturally nimble, the presenter whose message seems viscerally compelling, and the artist whose paintings seem impossibly realistic all wield the same magic: they’ve invested more time than you’d expect.

I wrote a few blog posts in WordLand this morning because it was convenient. It's good the same way I like to use a twitter-like app to write first drafts, when all I have to type into is my iPad. I've also started using it on my desktop for short things, but I just wrote and edited a complete blog post, a response to something Krugman wrote, about how gambling is destroying sports. And what for? It's like what Marge said at the end of Fargo. "There's more to life than a little money, you know." It feels like they're feeding the NBA into a wood chipper. What comes out the other side won't imho be recognizable as sport. And here you are, and it's a beautiful day.

I've got so much new stuff stacked up, on its way out. Hold onto your hats.

I've archived December in the GitHub repo, in OPML, as usual.

Welcome to a brand new year. The best one ever. 😄

Happy new year! I just sent an email with no subject line… Amateur hour over here as we start 2025. Hope it’s not a preview of what the rest of the year will be like.
