By advertising feeds and user profiles, it will be easy for visitors to follow individual writers or to follow the project as a whole. In general, members of the site can and will post about subjects of interest to them.

I just happened to have my NLJ logs open (I had opened them when the site was slow for a moment). I saw something called the YandoriRSSBot requesting the NLJ ATOM feed. While not unprecedented, almost all the feed fetchers ask for the regular RSS feed. I decided to search for the user agent to see if it is coming...
It is time for more daily links in the second edition of the Pook-Emu Bee. Links from around the web Shiroi Printer – Visual Novel Review (Nicholas A. Ferrell at The New Leaf Journal. February 25, 2026.) I have now published more visual novel reviews in 2026 than I did in all of 2025. Things are looking up. This one...
AlternativeTo reported that email provider Tuta has released mail and calendar add-ons for Thunderbird. I have a cheap Tuta account (so cheap it is no longer available, thank you grandfathering) that I have not used in several years, not least because Tuta does not support IMAP (this is also why I have not seriously...
Welcome to the first edition of the Pook-Emu Bee, where I will publish interesting links (maybe daily!) collected from my feed collection (or unused newsletter link backlog). I usually include 21 links from around the web (with comments) in each issue of my weekly newsletter, The Newsletter Leaf Journal. The...
I have published seven NLJ articles in the previous two weeks. I want everyone to admire the kind of variety I’m bringing to the internet writing table: 02/10/2026: AI Game Worlds and Humane Games (AI, video game development) 02/13/2026: The Positive Case for Good Tech (advocating for good tech) 02/14/2026:...
I have a Pixelfed account that I use to share better quality versions of photos I post to New Leaf Journal (and more rarely this site). Back in 2021, I published an article about how to follow my Pixelfed account using its ATOM feed. It did “well” when I published it (one of my three most successful articles at the...
Unlike Alphabet, I have never run the world’s largest video hosting service. I am, however, the administrator of two of the internet’s most popular websites (you’re reading one, check out the other). Based on my expert experience, I believe that YouTube is either down because of caching or DNS. I Hear YouTube Is...
Quoted Murena Volla Tablet ships with /e/OS (de-Googled Android) by Brad Linder (Liliputing) The Murena Volla Tablet sells for 698€ in Europe, or $798 in the US, and the tablet comes with a 2-year warranty. That’s… a lot of money for a tablet with mid-range specs. But it’s the same price Volla charges for the Volla...
I have been busy lately. For that reason I did not have time to do anything special for President’s Day. I present a quote from an article I wrote about an interesting passage from the Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge: As I looked on him and realized that he personally represented the glory and dignity of the United...
I was sent a video of a deer eating a begonia. I thought to myself that begonias do not sound like ideal deer food. According to Coast Redwood Adventures, begonias are a deer-resistant plant. Granting the caveats in the CRA article that deer-resistant is not deer-proof, I have reason to question the deer resistance...
