Life has been more argument and issues lately. The Khmer new year was not a thing I enjoyed. The three days each seemed to have a challenge or problem. Yesterday I ended up sitting at home most of the day. I had hoped we would go out...

Because pika has been so nice with their api supporting micropub publishing I feel this desire to post more detritus and perhaps more of whatever it is I find myself doing. Perhaps not doing. The whole publishing thing is huge folks. It...
It’s nice to be here. Coffee is on. Life is getting ready to be the same same but different. There’s Otres Beach for ya. Otres Beach one time Go enjoy your times. I’ll just be here writing and walking.
I decided on the usual whim to start writing here. Mostly because I really enjoy using iA Writer and it has baked in support for micropub publishing. Pika does that now. It takes away the need for a visit to web editor and replaces it...
Moving to pika to write. the blog is here. I'll not be updating this blog going forward.
Some things I have thought of whispering into the void. Considered moving the blog to pika. They offer an easy way from iA Writer to publish via the included micropub thing. It just works. Hit a publish button. It all becomes a draft...

Some things will forever disturb me living in Southeast Asia. I am not close to or friends with many expats. There are a few that I keep track of mostly by meeting them every so often or watching their YouTube vlogs. I wanted to discuss...
It’s my morning. Maybe my best times here are before people start going. From some arbitrary time most mornings, Cambodian people are out. Then there’s the sound of motos ramping up, conversations cycling and kids playing at being kids....
Today I decided with my first brain I shall go walk and have coffee somewhere. Like usual. I enjoy sharing the places I get to every so often on the fediverse and maybe a photo here and a story that somehow connects it all. The writing...
Today I had other desires for coffee. I would have walked to this place I have not been for some time. Enjoyed the morning with their $1 iced americano. Thought and wrote and read some. Lately I’ve been enjoying Current Reader a lot. Its...
We went for breakfast this morning to the new location of an old favorite place that used to be by the river. We really enjoyed the location by Siem Reap river. It had this essence I enjoyed. These views of the people, places, and things...
