The other day I mentioned that there was a Diaryland 2.0. I also mentioned that I had emailed the creator to see if I could get access to my old diary. I have not heard back from them. That’s OK because something else has happened. I...
I fear my phone. You should too. I used to look at the fucker for 6 hours a day. 6 hours of dog videos, geo-politics, watch reviews, ww3 scenarios, politics in Somalia (very interesting, actually), and FUD about every financial market...
Today at the supermarket, I was smiling at a baby. The baby saw my smile and she smiled back. I did a few more times with older kids and they all smiled back. When I smiled at a few adults, no one smiled back. In fact, one of the young...
So, true to form, a song I thought was a pretty strong entry for the UK comes last in the ESC*. Inevitably UK social media's post-contest dissection takes place; "Why does the UK always come last? Why does Europe hate us so?" they ask....
I can't stand social media; it all feels incredibly performative and/or unauthentic. What I'm now realising though is that the latest changes I've made to this site are all different forms of social media. I signed up for micro blog,...
Like if you had zero obligations and money wasn't an issue, how would you spend your time? I work with a lot of older guys who are all coming up on retirement age soon, and some that are well past that but refuse to move on because they...
A colleague of mine that I have been working with for years, and get along with pretty well, recently shared that they had completed a personal project of theirs: Publishing an illustrated non-fiction book. We did a round of...
Not only am I not watching the Eurovision Song Contest this year, I haven't even looked up any of the songs competing. I have watched in ESC previous years, even with Israel's competing. But I think my tolerance for the blatant...
I've been cutting way back on my off-hours screen time for the last five days or so: Most days I've been analog-only, except perhaps for reading on an e-ink Kindle, until I start work around 7:45a. (That's a two-hour block of time.) I've...
Good morning That's how I normally start off my first fediverse post for the day. In fact, there's a good morning hashtag I attach to it too, as there is a group of regular good morning posters. Actually, I've only just realised that I...
I rarely watch any kind of sport, but yesterday a tennis video caught my eye. The title was 6 Minutes of Roger Federer Exemplary Sportsmanship. What a wonderful watch! A great athlete in more than one sense. No ego, just common sense and...
We've made the world too complicated. I'm writing this with technology I will never fully understand in a building with rooms I can never enter, living in a country dictated by laws I can't control. We spend the majority of our waking...
for the last two years i have been mentalizing quite a lot, and i now can confidently conclude that this habit has not expanded my empathy. to the contrary, i've seen what's going on in people's minds, and i don't like it. i am, in some...
As a person of computer (POC) who unfortunately lives in a tech hub, everywhere I go, people talk about ai all the time. They talk about ai not just at work, but also at parties and restaurants. When I drive out to the mountains,...
I recently deleted my Pinterest account and the app due to their refusal to make even the slightest attempt to curb AI slop, in spite of the issues with plagiarism and dangerous misinformation. I even more recently started taking the...
