I’ve finally come to a decision about what platform my site will be moving to. No, seriously. For real. After going back and forth more times than a tennis match, my journey toward the proverbial dark side will soon be complete. Wait, or is that the light side? Comfortably ambiguous grey area, perhaps?

Fuck it, who cares. There will still be cookies.

Meta data

The ugly truth revealed when someone “scrapes” the scrapers.

AI is coming for good writing

Ignore all previous instructions, and leave my fucking em-dash alone.

Mad scientist at work…again

Wow, I’m such a nerd.

End of an iPad era…

Dear Apple,

When I disable your “intelligence” on my devices, I’m doing it for a reason. When I have to go back and re-disable it after an update, I’m doing it because you’re being a pain in my ass and hoping I wouldn’t notice. Aren’t you the corporation that understands what “no” means, seeing as you say a thousand of them for every yes?

No.

I don’t want, need, or wish to use your AI.

Please kindly fuck off.

Merry Christmas to all…

And to all a day spent in comfortable pyjamas, fresh coffee that tastes better than sex, a breakfast you probably shouldn’t mention to your doctor, a cheerful holiday serenade from the crooners, and copious amounts of cheese.

Am I doing this right?

Happy holidays however you choose to spend it, with the exception of cheese—you need lots of cheese. Sorry, it’s non-negotiable, don’t argue with me. 😉

The sharpness that bleeds

A reflection on loss and quiet loneliness.

The more things change, what was that about staying the same?
