I noted in my most recent New Leaf Journal article that I am temporarily daily driving Ubuntu Touch on my phone. One problem on Ubuntu Touch is its limited native app selection. But that may not be a problem for my feed reader. I run my own Miniflux instance and I always use it in a web browser. […]
I have purchased and played (or read) visual novels on Steam. You can read my reviews of ACE Academy, Kaori After Story, and Return to Shironagasu Island, and LoveChoice for four examples. Setting those four aside, I have also discussed reading the Higurashi and Umineko series, all of which I originally purchased on...
From AlternativeTo: Mozilla Firefox is rolling out a new ‘shake to summarize’ feature in Firefox for iPhones, letting users generate an AI-powered summary of a webpage by shaking their device. I use Firefox as my main desktop browser and I run a Firefox fork called Iron Fox on Android-based devices. The iOS Firefox,...
I read this very nice post from Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry’s PolicySphere newsletter (it comes with my recommendation and has a hidden RSS option) collecting remembrances of Charlie Kirk after he was assassinated while speaking at Utah State University on September 10, 2025. I second Mr. Gorby’s introduction. Josh...
I read a good op-ed in the New York Post by New York State Assemblyman Matt Slater on the subject of ensuring 9/11 is properly taught in New York schools (New York Post, September 11, 2025). The post is well-worth reading (especially if you are a fellow New Yorker), but a few passages prompted me […]
I briefly returned to Koko Analytics but noticed two things that made me leave it for the second time for Statify. Firstly, Koko was also recording hits for random tags which did not follow from any of the posts it recorded, which suggests it has a similar issue to Statify (Koko Analytics did not show […]
Upon close inspection, Statify was over-counting in two obvious ways. First, relative to Google Search Console stats (by about ~40%), and second it was picking up things like “page 2 of tag archive X” when it didn’t obviously follow from the articles that had been visited before. This may have to do with my page […]
I read an interview on the excellet Johto Times Pokémon site with “Blue Articuno,’ the creator of a Pokémon fan-site called Mount Moon. I liked one of the questions: You were one of the many kids who grew up with Pokémon from the very beginning, when it launched internationally back in 1998. What are some […]
On September 2, 2025, the New York Post reported that longshot New York City Mayoral candidate Jim Walden suspended his campaign. As a result of the suspension, Mr. Walden will have to pay back more than $2.3 million in public matching funds. Setting aside questions about why New York City believes my tax money...
I mailed issue 244 of The Newsletter Leaf Journal. I use Roman numerals in newsletter titles and try to add something clever. Newsletter 244 is: Newsletter Leaf Journal CXLIV 〜 54-hole week. I think this is one of more clever ones. The joke combines the Roman numerals, a sport (spoiler) reference, and the fact that...
