Everything Old Is New Again
Every now and then I ask myself why I would put so much time and effort into maintaining this website and keeping it online. I make no money from it, in fact, it does cost money to have my own…
THE WRITTEN RECORD
Author: Chris
More Fuckery Ahead
Because I can not leave well enough alone...I am writing a script that allows me to highlight my text and then add scribbled notes "in the margins" for some digital marginalia. Looks great in dark mode too.
Footnote Theme 1.3.0 Is Live
I have redesigned the website again. Anyone who has been here for a while probably saw that coming. This time I am using new-to-me programming languages and newer frameworks to make the website load and react faster. Including more mobile…
I Miss Contact Sheets
I've always loved the smell of toner and fixer solutions inside the dark room developing prints from the film negatives. Then line the negative strips out and develop the contact sheet of all the images on the film roll. Those…
Website Redesign
I toggle settings, void warranties and go through website redesigns more than I change my underwear sometimes. I can never leave well enough alone because...it is Neve well enough for me. I'm adding new technologies and programming languages this time…
THE UNMARKED WAY
I am in the process of creating a multi-cache for the Geocaching game. I've talked about how Hansel and Gretel first used breadcrumbs through the forest to find their way back home. The problem was that the birds would eat…
Working Title For Work In Progress
Because I rarely finish what I start when it comes to these things, here is an image of a companion website to a book that is in it's planning stages. No working title, just a rough outline. This website design…
The Labyrinthal Thread
Previously, I wrote this: Think Multicursally. Act Unicursally. Okay kids, this is where it gets complicated and will require a lot of attention. What does that mean? There are some landmarks I can see clearly. The Library is knowledge. The…
Agentic AI
Today I am tasking ChatGPT Agents to sort, organize my Documents folder in the MacBook as a test, then report findings before executing any changes. This is called Agentic AI. Agentic AI is a type of artificial intelligence that can…
Lightroom. Again.
I know what you are thinking, and you're right. I've oscillated on using Adobe for years. Back and forth On/Off. Shut up. For years, I kept trying to get away from Adobe. The subscription annoyed me. Creative Cloud annoyed me.…
Ground Control Points
For years I have wandered, noticed the unusual, followed strange trails and wished I had written down what I found along the way. I can’t recover those lost opportunities but I can start leaving a trail from here. Today I…
Field Notes 001: Origin
Spent the evening performing archaeological excavations from my old notes. I started these journals almost exactly ten years ago on 2016-09-14. Inconsistent, but available for me to time travel backwards. Features include misadventures, shenanigans, hikery, fuckery and so much more…
My Multicursal Mind
For most of my life, I thought my mind worked in a straight line with one obvious direction. Lately I’m seeing a lot more options than I ever realized were there. My thinking feels more like a maze now, but…
iReader
My Kindle Paperwhite e-reader didn’t die. The hardware still worked. What failed was Amazon’s willingness to support it. When I discovered that my perfectly functional Kindle had reached the end of Amazon’s support, the solution offered to me was predictable:…
Two New Cases
While strolling around various towns this Labor Day weekend I was thinking I needed a better setup for the iPhone. After research I came across a master grip system that attaches to the phone using MagSafe attachments. The system comes…
