  • did you know you can write to avoid writing

    After months of writing at least once a day, I haven't updated this blog in over a week because I feel like I have nothing to say.

    I'm working my way through Julia Cameron's THE ARTIST'S WAY, and as I do, things in my head are quieting down. It's not that I'm not writing. It's that I'm writing on the big projects I've always wanted to do. Those are going somewhere, instead of me rambling into the Web instead.

  • Summer Update

    I'm trying something different, for me anyway - a one-file phlog. Longer-form content can still be in separate files with unique selectors to make gopher search engines happy, so I see no downside. All the 2025 entries are below.

    I'll touch the /phlog/gophermap when I update /phlog.txt, and link to it there, so that the gopher aggregators do not need to update their links (and you probably shouldn't, in case I change my mind again).

  • Help Me Find These Apps For Android?

    Google sucks. I mean, everyone knows that, but I still wanted to preface this post with it because it's true.

    I have an Android phone these days and like it way better than I ever liked iPhone. I miss some apps, however, and I'd like recommendations. If possible I prefer FLOSS alternatives, and cloud connections (even for backups) and AI integrations are total deal breakers. If my experience with the app is very good I can consider paying a one-time fee to remove ads, but no subscription fees.
