Back in the days of yore, when Facebook hadn't even been a twinkle in Zuck's eye, blogs ruled what existed of the Web. "Normies" had only recently started to venture outside of CompuServ, AOL, Delphi, and the like.
In the primitive world of pre-Google Search, stumbling upon a well-written blog fel...
Past Imperfect — a nostalgia for a time as flawed as our own but without the awareness that tarnishes the now. The wish to be dumb to the follies of society without acknowledging the persistent presence of folly throughout time.
For me, Coney Island is memory. I was born and raised at the nadi...
I just lit what is likely the last fire of the season. I primarily warm my home with a heat pump these days, but on occasion, the pump needs a bit of an assist, so kindling a fire fills the bill.
Starting a fire has become second nature. I know what to put, where to put it, how to space it all. I...
She’s asleep in the next room, just like the old days. My daughter is curled up in a pile of blankets while I type away as quietly as I can manage, hoping to not disturb her. She came out from Boston to check on me. A bit of a role reversal. But the help is welcome nonetheless.

Two tall windows. Side by side. The regular rolling rush of water outside. The smell of cof...
Posting regularly is an aspiration that I have noted more in its absence than its execution.
We do so much to try and jump start our creativity. And much of it is surface work — easily ignored.
This evening, I decided to browse through old journals, specifically to look back 20 years to 2003.

In 2014, I stopped using Macs, and in 2020, I stopped using Windows. But, this wasn’t supposed to be an article about the shortcomings of the platforms of my past. It was supposed to focus on the present, and the future. But before I get there, I really should explain how I got here…
I’ve used lin...
First off, I have no inside knowledge. There are no intentional spoilers in this post. The idea came to me this morning (7 days before Endgame will be released) and I just thought I’d share…
Until now, when asked what I wanted to see happen in Avengers Endgame, I had a simple answer consisting of...
An interesting video time capsule of sorts from Apple Computers (back when Steve jobs was off innovating at NeXT).
Enjoy the video!
