Now page for July. And real donuts. - JazMat
With seven items on my Now page for July I’ve overcomitted myself. One is more an approach then task. Better that than not have any goals set, right? I did...

Sometimes a post or two here will inspire a quick, impromptu blog post, and today was one of those times.

I don’t do guilt or shame
They’ll say all day long ‘sitting shortens your life’ (and?) but I call bullshit on that. Gorillas sit in the jungle all day eating leaves. They don’t care about any of that…

This week brought an EF-1 tornado through town—but also some good news: a new house for my youngest son, a successful surgery for Athena, and even a few newly discovered cousins thanks to genealogy research.
A little chaos, a little gratitude.

Storms, New Homes, and Newly Found Cousins – Bob Mueller
A week of storms and milestones: an EF-1 tornado hits town, a son buys his first home, a dog recovers from surgery, and new cousins emerge.

RE: #blogging and

Mid year, trying to knock out a few blog posts. Finished the one on the Gemini protocol, since I wanted to do that one before I finish the small web one. Next up is a brief one on physical media, then the one on the small web after that. And maybe get a few more in after all those before the end of the year.

No 7Points this time, just one sustained idea/observation and a question for you.

No vault of record - JazMat
In Obsidian, I’ve quit creating separate files for my blogging and for many site articles. I write in the top of my draft/dump file, copy and paste, and when...

Today I got two (2) comments on my blog and they were both positive. I don't think that has ever happened. I usually just get complaints and never more than one per month. #blog #blogging

Prices on the rise - JazMat
I emailed a file of a 100+ page book to a printer for an estimate of cost. Such things cost more here than in other places. And prices have risen much more...

For years, whenever I'd share links to my Wordpress posts on social media the preview image would be seemingly pulled at random, usually ignoring the first image. Finally fixed it yesterday by installing a plugin called "Open Graph and Twitter Card Tags", then checking the box that says,"First image from the post/page content" in the settings. I'm sure there are better ways to fix but it worked for me. Sharing in case anyone still blogs and has the same problem. #wordpress #blog #blogging https://wordpress.org/plugins/wonderm00ns-simple-facebook-open-graph-tags/

Nearly five inches of rain, a bookstore relocation, a cautionary tale about losing years of Facebook memories without warning, and a Texas cold case solved nearly 40 years later.
This week, I reflect on digital permanence, wrongful convictions, and a rare case where justice eventually found its way to the right person.

Texas Justice and Facebook Injustice – Bob Mueller
A bookstore move, a warning about Facebook data loss, and a Texas cold case solved decades later bring justice at last.

What should a person do when they are typing up a Mastodon thread, and it's already almost 400 words before you've started to wrap it up? I estimate this will be over 5 posts.
I need a blog. I doubt I will get any readers or subscribers, but at least I can use it as a journal. Hopefully my Fediverse followers would open a link with a good enough teaser.
Followers, what are you doing when you want to post something long?

Sleep is physical maintenance, but solitude is emotional and cognitive “defragmentation” for me.

Feeling the urge to do more #blogging and less social stuff. Many options, but not so easy for a low-brow guy.

Sometimes it’s truly amazing how things come full circle when you have children. It’s as if time folds in on itself and a distant past overlaps with the present at this exact moment.
