Hi! This blog is meant to do two things. First, one goal is to explore life as a “FOSS Academic” – someone who uses Free and Open Source technologies to do academic work. I’m hoping that my discussions of FOSS technologies in an academic setting help others – students, professors, university administrators – understand the benefits and values of FOSS in the academy. I’m not a developer, but I am a professor who’s been using FOSS to do his job for over a decade. I call this goal of exploring FOSS tools in the academy Goal 1. Second, this blog has Goal 2: writing a book about a FOSS topic. After some consideration, I decided to write a book about Mastodon and the fediverse. The book is out now! Sometimes, the two topics will collide in a single post. My intent here is to be more open about my own research process and writing.

My personal website and blog where I post stuff about my work on the Wait Wait Stats Project as well as posts about using Linux, working on my home lab, and video games. I try to post monthly, but it mostly depends on spare time outside of work and events.
Lacking any semblance of normalcy and stability from birth onward, Amanda Quraishi – aka The Q – makes no sense to people who require tidy explanations. Ergo, internet bios are her nemesis. Her life has been a series of improbable episodes that can only provoke cognitive dissonance in those who prefer things to be easily defined. As an uneducated former cult member turned Muslim activist/digital marketing professional, she finally gave up on both religion and marketing well into her forties An anarchist, feminist and pacifist with a robust loathing for telling other grown-ass adults (who really ought to know better) what they should be doing, she rejects any attempt to make her your intellectual or moral compass. You’ll either love her or you’ll hate her, but you’ll never really understand her and that’s fine because she actually prefers it that way. Anyway, she’s a full-time writer now. Quraishi lives in Austin, Texas.

Given to Tri: A Triathlon Training & Racing Blog
If anyone had told me at any point in my life that I’d get seriously into triathlons in my forties, I probably would have died laughing. Like many, I bought a bike in 2020 to try to get in shape—and let’s just say things escalated quickly from there. My name is Guillermo Esteves. I’m an age-group triathlete based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, in the heart of Grand Teton National Park. Although I’m still a beginner, I enjoy sharing what I learn during my training and races, paying it forward like many others have done for me along the way. Given to Tri is my triathlon blog, where I do exactly that. With multiple races of various distances scheduled over the coming months, I plan to keep swimming, cycling, and running for many years to come. I hope you’ll come along for the ride.
Hi! I mainly just write my thoughts about a variety of things in my blog. I mostly try to keep it anonymous and minimal, so I don't feel bound by anything I say--I think it captures the freedom of journaling much more.
I’m a science fiction/fantasy author and a technical writer. A few years ago I was known for being a technical blogger on Tumblr; now I blog right here. I left Twitter a while ago, but you can find me posting on Mastodon and Bluesky now. My pronouns are he/they.
I'm blogging about IT and Technology in general. Also I publish all kinds of "how to-solutions" that took me a while to figure out - and I hope that it might help other's as well

This is my personal blog; the vast majority of my posts are book reviews, and of those, a good two-thirds are genre romance novels, the rest mostly mysteries, with a few non-fiction books sprinkled in. I also occasionally review movies or tv series.

I am a dad to one, and husband to another. This blog exists as a way for me to share my thoughts on life in general and my journey of starting a web design business on the side, with the hope that I can get my family out of the rat race.
I like it, when I see the intentions of a code author, and i like to see it written down in remark lines. Why didn't someone do that with the world. It would be far easier to understand. So I started to document my world wherever I see the need to do so. In text. With Emacs Org mode. I want to share this world with you.
This is a personal blog and I post on social and green alternatives, education, books, stories of university life since 1990, politics, music, family, and other themes.
