If you’d asked be six months ago, I’d tell you I’ve been creating things for 20 years. Between being a professional writer and then a YouTuber, I create things all the time. But, lately, I’ve been feeling otherwise. I don’t write anymore professionally. Not really. I spend all my time editing other people’s writing,...

So, since I’ve started scrobbling my music (after I created the /now page), I’ve been on a bit of a music discovery kick. Tonight I was looking through country music playlists, and found one called “Classic Country”. Now, for me, Classic Country is Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Loretta Lynn, Ernest...

Sometimes I think I have more fun scripting for my blog than I do actually blogging. But that’s okay. As long as I’m being creative and getting my brain working, it all works out. Or at least, that’s what I tell myself. A few days ago, I wrote about how I had rewritten the script to incorporate rofi selection. The...

If you’ve followed me over the last few months as I’ve worked to fill this blog with content, you’ll know that I’ve struggled with adding a comment system. I wrote two blog posts about it, maybe more. My struggle wasn’t whether to have comments at all, but rather finding the best commenting platform. I eventually...

I wrote a few days ago how I took a bet to use Emacs. I wrote that a few days after starting, and now it’s been a full week. It has been an adventure. First off, let me tell you that my Emacs config is well over 500 lines long. There aren’t a ton of comments. You can see it here. I also have a nice screen shot to...

So, usually I don’t mock people for being creative. It takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there with something you’ve made. I do it all the time, so I know how much doing so can actually cost you. But today, I have to rant about something that’s going to come across as mean. As you guys know, I’ve been...

I used to chew gum a lot as a kid. Remember that zebra decorated pack, I think it was called Fruit Stripe? And then there Bubblicious. Probably didn’t spell that right. The point is, I loved chewing gum. Every once in a while I’d get some Wrigley Spear Mint and I’d feel a little more grown up. I haven’t actually had...

Back in June, I wrote a post about a script I wrote to automate posting to this blog. It was a fairly simple script that basically crafted the title and then created the .md file with the front matter inside. I have to admit, I was pretty proud of that script, and I’ve been using it ever since. Every blog post I’ve...

I have talked about AI before on my podcast and on my YouTube channel, but my primary use case is using AI for tech support. Right now I’m trying Emacs again, and that means I’m having to do a lot of new things. AI, in my case, is a very chatty version of Google. I ask it how I can set a keybinding for dashboard and...

So with Blaugust going on, I’ve found so many new blogs to read. Someone (and I’m sorry, I didn’t save the link) created an opml file that allows you to import the RSS feeds from every single blog that is participating in Blaugust 2025. I did this. Because I love to read blogs, even when I’m not all interested in...

I’m writing this blog post from Emacs. I’ve tried this many times before, but I’m trying again. Not because I really want to, but because my pride has been challenged. A friend on Discord hates openSUSE. And he knows I hate Emacs. So somewhere we started talking trash, and now he’s using openSUSE and I’m using...

This post is in reply to Forking Mad and their post Dark web sites. I disagree with many people on many things. I think people who love Windows are a bit disillusioned. I think people who worship at the alter of the GOP or the Democratic party here in the USA are mostly fools. I disagree with people who think...
