Indeed with a lack of real words to rhyme with ninth, needing to keep the patterns for this year’s posts, I resorted to a chap who just cheerfully makes stuff up to define “grinth” as “the peculiar little feeling of having noticed something nobody else did.” Clever?

Until last week I was mostly using an old version of Chrome, so had never seen the gate it puts in front of my blog, scripting.com. Here's a screen shot of their awful dialog. An easy FAQ of what they're doing wrong, why you should care. So far no response from Google or t...

From the title of this entry, I assume you're thinking I'm gonna talk about AI slop or that guy at your office who asks ChatGPT everything (even if his wife is cheating on him)...

It’s hard to talk about mental illness with any certainty – all one can really do is talk bout your own mental illness. Because all of us who are mentally ill are mentally ill in our own way. For me, living with depression, with a history of suicidal ideation, has meant being afraid of the … Continue reading "When morning comes"

My weekly blog post. Links this week include an interactive exploration in a mysterious place, a system that's definitely not Windows and an archive of over 22,000 web banners from the early web with bonus poetry generator using those banners. I have another picture of my kitty visitor, I talk about a DIY project that's getting the better of me, I have a surgery update and I share some of my favorite Weird Web October entries so far. Plus, as usual, I listened to, read and watched things.
