Marginalia

Notes on the side

The eye finds what the mind is ready to see. I better write that down somewhere and use it for later.

Christmas holiday flight booked. Now I just have to sit back and wait.

Today I am back on the Keto diet. After a recent foot injury I can feel the weight. Currently at 198 lbs. #ketodenbow

OMG. This website is finally(?) completed. I also rebuilt photodenbow.com and redirected it as a subdomain to photo.chrisdenbow.website.

Tweaked and added more than a few features to the website. Changes noted in the Change Log in the Colophon section.

Mobile test post. Hope this works

Just returned from a quick day trip to Lake Charles, Louisiana and Beaumont, Texas. Paid for courtesy of the Golden Nugget casino winnings in Lake Charles.

I should be more afraid of wasting my time and my life than being embarrassed or afraid of offending others.

What just happened tonight? (Azani)

Support her at her lowest, and she’ll leave you at yours. Why does this frequently happen? I met her when I wasn’t looking for love, and I lost her when I loved her the most.

Too handsome for celibacy, too passionate for casual relationships, to self-aware to settle, and just miserable enough to yearn for love forever.

My soul is a mixed tape but no one owns a cassette player anymore.

2026-07-16 Reasons why I am single:

  1. I am an over-thinker
  2. I care too deeply
  3. I am a safe guy. Message me when you get home, have a good night type of guy.
  4. I have a lot of energy
  5. I give my all to people who don’t give half back.
  6. I would do a lot to make someone happy and makes me miserable.
  7. I need constant reassurances.
  8. If the energy isn’t reciprocated, I will push you away
  9. I enjoy romance and courting and this is misunderstood in my generation and younger.

I’ve restored the archives and added a new coat of paint to the site. Still tinkering. The archives import did not migrate the images attached to the individual articles. Damn.

People who read books and wear glasses are cooler than everyone else.

I don’t make the rules.

I should walk away from this website and let it set for a week to determine how it looks and feels.

Ideas to follow-up on “digital flaneur”, renew Ulysses sub or buy iA Writer, more efficient photo archive and catalog

Redesigned the Library parent page and added the Catalog sub page to include titles

The database schema isn’t playing nicely, neither is the formatting. Adjusting margins and paddings. Better result.

Rebuilding the Archive, Library and building out the Marginalia page. Exported all book titles from my book tracker app. Sorted and catalogued.
