The website is about writing. A little of this and some of that. Always some about living now in Cambodia and some things about previous little endeavors. Maybe a time spent in Vietnam or just traveling Southeast Asia for some years. Coffee and beer figure prominently.

On the usual whim of the moment I decide to viva and beer. It’s been two weeks so I feel compelled to go. The beer is $0.75 a cheap draft beer. The ride takes about 15 minutes in a tuktuk. Costs a little over $1. Viva Beer and me And...
While physically the old retired guy body has been back for a day now, the sleep and dreams and wishing seems stuck. What I do enjoy about being back in Siem Reap is the daily walking. I’d never call it a routine. It is more like this...
I like playing around with different starters on 11ty bundle. I had setup a really cool IndieWeb flavored starter from Brennan some time ago but we left for the trip and I left things in a half done and not complete state. In other...
Getting back from a week in Phnom Penh and Kampot has left me feeling this way about Siem Reap. I was journaling like I do in the mornings and it dawned on me just writing whatever. The problem is that it’s familiar. I just know it. I...
Lately I’ve felt less than enthusiastic being present on the fediverse. I’ve always enjoyed just being there on the wonderful small mastodon instance I’m on. What seems to be flagging is my desire to see the content. I’ve muted some...
Since we changed the plan, I decided to write on the first three days here and let it go. Then write our last two days. This is kind of a mashup on the days. A bunch of almost organized thoughts which may wander around a bit. Much like I...
This morning I took this walk down the riverwalk area. I felt vaguely troubled by a myriad of little things. Pieces of life that submerge in Siem Reap but seem to wander up to the surface here. I’ve felt this affinity and affection for...
Next up is Kampot. We will be spending three nights in Kampot this time. It’s a slower paced thing than here. We leave at 10am for the three hour ride. We both enjoy the city a lot. I’m not sure how I will blog this. Most of the stuff...
I’ve been doing this thing since about 1998 or so. Then I wrote differently. For awhile I did Technorati stuff when it was the listing and authority stuff for blogs. It was my so many startup back then. We started out in the founders...
This is some little interlude of a thing. We are in the middle of Kampot and been writing a blogpost about the things. One thing in the moment is how pretty Kampot is. How the river shines and the two bridges create a wonderful walk on...
This blog post covers two days spent in Phnom Penh. I decided to just write the one post and put down whatever. We leave here at 930am on 19 August. The 21st we will catch the bus to Kampot. On our way today I got to see green season...
There’s some beauty to this place. Love the downtown and bridges. The Wat Preah Prom Rath វត្តព្រះព្រហ្មរ័ត្ន temple shines. An older place across the street from Noi Cafe. I’ve visited any number of times. The temple has a few creation...
Soon we go for a nice longer trip. I was thinking about how I want to blog the days in each place. I like letting blogposts roll over to the next day or so. I think I’ll write a single post for each place and add in photos and...
Some days. Maybe most days. Ok. All days there is this going. I love going out for coffee mornings. When we first moved to the house, choices were limited. I enjoyed the same places. And I would do as I do now. Cycle through them. Then...
Somewhere along the line like after I did day one and then something else a few times I ended up writing markdown files. This was good. I still enjoy the act of it. It’s a freeing sense that the app I use is not the one I must use. The...
