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
Tag: Journal
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…
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…
Exploring Is Never Boring
I just returned from a quick day trip to Louisiana full of exploration and re-inspired ideas. Only to return home, with the intention and energy disappearing. Maybe a good night's sleep on my own bed will restore the enthusiasm.
The Clean Slate Protocol
I have a problem, and it lives on four different hard drives. For years my system for "backing up" has basically been: buy a new external drive when the old one fills up, dump a bunch of stuff on it,…
Downsizing
What set me off recently was a notification from Apple stating my Apple One subscription is going up again. This makes the third time in a year I think. For me it would be an extra $24 a year, which…
Cinephile
I have noted that as of late, of my increasing intake of foreign, independent, and/or classic films. Living in an international city and surrounded by neighbors from all over the world, or dating women from diverse cultures, or even perhaps…
Analog Collection and Curation
For reasons I cannot explain properly, I have added tenfold to my collection of paper books this past year. Here is a list of a few of these in book catalog from the Library page. I just realized the number…
Enjoy The Silence
I used to have a desire to be heard, or read. From my twenties up to my forties I couldn’t get my voice out there loudly enough. Back when blogs became popular, I moved my loud, shitty opinions online and…
A Gentle Madness
I’m declaring a temporary moratorium on buying books. The shelves are full and I'll not resort to the madness of stacking books on top of another in a corner next to those shelves. I need to dive into these recent…
Books Can’t Be Beat
A Kindle can't beat this feeling
28GB
I've calculated the disk storage space for all of my physical media including e-books, CDs and video discs. 28 gigabytes on one device is seriously impressive, but what else would I surround myself with?
February Stats
Added 28 books to my library in the month of February. One title for each day. This brings the total acquired titles in 2026 so far to 83. Titles on my shelves are up to 315. 59 days in 2026…
